road trip number 57: columbus oh

just got back late last night from a road trip with Native, Old Lew, Sunshine, Weston, and Andy. Once up there, we picked up young caleb from the airport. He's been gone for a while to Idaho and SanDiego and whatnot... Just a homie trip. Relaxed.

We brought a trunkful of our new boards to show (not sell) to people and talk about what Fickle is doing--hand-making wood to supply skaters, as we hit the road and SKATE WITH YOU, NOT AT YOU.

We don't come around to prove that you should listen to us on music or fashion.
We don't come around to dominate your scene and prove that we're better than you (if that were possible...some RIPPERS out there)
We don't come around to push an advertising campaign for mail-order wood that has a heat transfer brand graphic burnt onto it.

We come around because we LOVE SKATING WITH ALL OF YOU. From the ICP kids who bought me my first Moon Mist, to the skinny little metalhead ripperlings, to the older crushers who are miles deep in both skill and stories... we are STOKED ON SKATEBOARDING, AND STOKED ON YOU.

With Fickleboards, there's no vibe but being stoked that we're all here together, doing something as ridiculously fun as skateboarding. Our boards are hand made, and available in limited quantities for people who love to ride wood that has history ahead of it.
