Young Daniel


Man, we can't tell you how much we appreciate it when you guys post or link or send us pics of you riding our boards. YOU are why we are here, and it is more fun than we can describe to come and skate with you. Every time we leave an area, we miss it and we miss you guys...

here's our buddy Daniel from North Atlanta area, bustin out with the backside air on one of our logo decks, featuring 2 of our fully disposable stickers. Thanks for the pics, and keep shredding on Fickle.

and can i just say that this is a 13+foot deep bowl right there, with at least 2.5 feet of vert!!!!

100% American Made! Fresh Hardrock Maple from the Cold Belt! Pennsylvania Pressed, deep concaves, elliptical kick!

Shane is a Rocker...

There you have it, folks... Shane is a rock and roller... rock... and... roll... Welcome on Shane! We had a web chat tonight and Mike "Landshark" Mills has things rolling down there in North Atlanta... Fickle on!

Browndog Martin: Fickle Rep, Northeast

Browndog holds it down for us in NJ/NY/CT and such. Here he is shot with a cell phone at a ramp right on the Hudson. I grew up over there and it's tough to skate in that tense climate... the boy cracks skulls.

face high madonnas on a Fickle Barney Cruiser Board... back tails on that jersey barrier all day, too... on a cruiser board.

do YOU want a fickle cruiser board? coming in spring if you're good.

New Rider: NATL

Mike "LandShark" Mills has found us a raaaad rider down in the dirty south. North Atlanta is bracing for our newest rider!

Shane
Hix

We're stoked to welcome you, Shane, and look forward to years of shredding the gnar on the regs!

So now, we've got riders in Louisville, Cinci, Lex KY, Knoxville TN, and NATL! Not to mention our actual Former Pro, Browndog Martin, holding things down in NY/CT/NJ on the hudson over there...

This spring: NY/NJ/CT trip!

This winter: another ATL excursion...

Welcome to the maelstrom, Shane!

quick update

Man there is so much going on here at Fickle that i barely have the time to describe it. Every day we get some work done, out skating, yes.

the weather is turning cold which means brace yourselves for the Fickle Custom Fall Fashion Line!!! we got army crap with iron ons and cheap screens on request. If you want some Fickle gear, hit us up...

we have new boards dropping in about a week. They're already cut, with art going on them today tomorrow and the next... we'll drive up and pickup next week early...
they'll be purple barneys, giving beards, logos, and headshots, so get your orders in, and all you reps, let me know how many boxes you want this month.

...we got new riders on the ground...
we've been filming...
...we have a warehouse in the works...
we have new boards in the house
...we are all over the place...

go get a fickle and enjoy it! Really. That's the number one feedback we get. people really enjoy it! the boards are sick.

Michael Spath

This is our friend in GA, Michael. He has fought through like 3 broken ankles and a whole slew of other stuff to keep shredding the gnar on the regs. He helped Fickle hold down our tent at the Georgia Bowlriders, this year and keeps repping us down there.

Thanks for your support, Michael, and it's great to see you dropping the 3-bomb again!

James T.

James was nice enough to post this pic via Facebook with the quote: "Aint no board like a Fickle Board"

Thanks James... we've really been pleased with our deep concave and elliptical kick nose and tail. Not to mention the satisfaction of a 100% American process, pressed in Pennsylvania. Our dimensions are custom-tailored to our specs, and we're proud of the boards we sell.

Fan Art: Weston


this was creepy to receive. thought maybe some others would like to shoot us what you got for "fan art". maybe you'll be the next graphic!

Louisville Yesterday

Yesterday Ben, Aaron and Weston headed to Louisville where they enjoyed the company of our friend Malcolm. Anybody who's had the pleasure of skating with Malcolm knows that he's a smooth operator on vert. Thanks for a great sesh, Malcolm. Everybody went home stoked.

Lew spent the day hurling into an office wastebasket. Stomach flu. eeccch. Every day without stomach flus or dentist chairs is a good day, I say.

Weston and a gumball working on science

Car time. Car time is what puts a company's team to the test. When it all comes down, rippers are a dime a dozen, but who can you throw in a car for a week, drive hours and hours, blow it out on arrival, get sick, get well, hang around the ink well... wait, that's dylan...

...then you're sleeping on a ramp in Rad Mike's garage. Then you're up and eat and back in the car and you never know where you're going... and if you're a minor and you've skipped mass days of school for the trip, you've got work to do in the car... So here we are helping each other out a bit with Wise Weston.

Fickle is a Wood House

Just a word about what our company is all about. We're all about amazing wood, American Wood, Regional wood that we design and pick up ourselves. We're about being face-to-face with Pennswood, and making sure that pressing houses like that exist and thrive in a difficult economy.

We're about making sure YOUR deck lasts longer, pops crisper, and feels more positive than the junk wood houses that are slacking off, or ordering non-domestic. We're always positive about any company switching to Domestic Sources, but we think Joe at Pennswood has it down. You'll feel it in our concave and pop. Fickle is addictive.

Notice how little attention to wood there is out there. That's simply because there's not a lot to talk about.

Yeah, we got tricks and lines. Yeah, we're picking up good riders, and we'll probably have a historic crew as time goes on, but what we're about for YOU is proving that Wood, Made in the USA, is still where it's at.

Now get out and go fast down something.

...and keep your eyes peeled for Fickle's downhill/pool sleds coming in spring!

on the way to Lex...

we go visit shops. we hit parks on the way. we hit spots as we see them... and we share clips because we want you to enjoy it with us.

the dry ridge park is one of the best flow parks around, built by Matt Dyck (of burnside fame). smooth with amazing flow. nice when its' not crowded.

Here's what Matt Simpson brings to the team.

All we're saying is put yourself in Nik's shoes. How annoying is that. and Weston... coveralls? how rad is that? order yourself a set of Fickle Custom-screened coveralls! Come and Get it!!!

Today's destinations

Today Lew, Kappa, Native, Ben, Weston and Aaron are on the way to Lexington KY to show up at Woodland and have a sesh for a couple hours. Look for us down there.
