sticker jobs...
boatwright's a big kid. he sends us pics of his sticker jobs. any of you got sticker jobs you wanna send in? boatwright. such a kid.
nother update. Cleveland
Okay look. A lotta stuff happened. The guys weren't even thinking about being in the comp. they were just sessioning the ramp and I'm like "you oughtta ask if they want you in the comp" and the vans guys were like "yeah man", because Ben, Wes and Josh were really making the ramp fun.
I mean it's like they're like joking and clapping and laughing and smiling and just having joy, you know? That's what's going on with Fickle.
Now, odds are, you're looking at the footy and saying, "I'm more superior than these guys are, where's my prize?" Well, first off, you might be (but probly not.Josh and wes and ben pretty much rip with massive massive style) heck, you might deserve the moon on a spoon, but we can't give it to you. so relax, breathe, and get out there and go thirty, honey...
For all you superior heads out there, we'll give you a free sticker and try to learn a trick off you, cos we don't need to be better than you to stand tall. we rep the highest quality wood that's being produced, sourced closer than any other. It doesn't travel across oceans, a border, or the rocky mountains to get to you, unless you are our australian customers. sorry mates if it arrives all dried out. squeeze some lemon over it.
Proper wood, skated with joy
update
elijah and toothy francis took places in the Cosmic Invasion comp a week ago, but all that was overshadowed by Leonard Ledford's broken ankle problem, arising from harsh snaking in the jam... Leonard, you are a ripper and you will be again. We're all rootin for you to stay sane while you wait...
Elijah got 2nd in the advanced stuff, honored to stand next to Cole Wilson. He also got a best rail trick prize.
Francis got 1st in the intermediate level stuff and got bumped up to full flow with Fickle. Toothy is a great rider because he's a humble and cool person, first off. When you skate with him you get better because he's getting better every day.
Thanks to alan and kenitha for all the prize schwag, and for working so hard to put quality events together in Lex, Louisville, Florence, and Cincinnati through their shops.

Boatwright's getting gnarly
With Fickle Boards, it's not just the sheer radness of Boatwright's properly tucked in back knee frontside air at Mountain Park last Sunday... it's not only the fact that he's OUT THERE every day shredding pools and bowls, in his 30's... it's not just that he's holding down a professional life as a physical therapist guy on top of this siiiick shredding... It's that on top of all that, he's one of the most chill, approachable, kind dudes out there, stoked to get you shreddin too.
oh yeah. Will is our guy in ATL. You wanna talk to Fickle? You gonna have ta talk ta Will.

look... all we're sayin is...
...all we're sayin is that our wood is pressed by darkwoods trolls in pennsylvania, perfect as it it gets so far...
...all we're sayin is that we're working our tails off to get parks built in places where they aren't. check this out
...all we're sayin is that the wood is so good that not many people are going back to normal stuff... you know, the stuff that's traveled by plane and trane and truck to get to you, stale from some chinese freighter or some hot warehouse on the border, or if you're lucky maybe some warehouse in a state 2 weeks' drive away...
Props to all the wood companies who rock proper wood. Cockfight we salute you.
As for us, we will suck at skateboarding happily into the sunset, all working to get you the best wood you've ever ridden...

Event in Northside Cincinnati
Since Old Lew got back from Savannah, he's been locked in the Fickle Warehouse down in the 'hood, baking up a sweet portable miniramp that can hold together, even when it's put up on a hill! Fickle and locals had a blast pushing for the Northside Skatepark at the Northside Farmer's Market, yesterday! Here's Ben and Native who have chosen the dance rather than the battle...
HERE are even more pics for you to peruse!

Savannah
Old Lew just spent 5 days in Savannah. It was PROPER! there are no pix. there was no filming. only memories were made, and a course was charted for Fickle and Savannah Georgia to be longterm buds.
many many thanks to the heads at Woody's Skate Park who hold it down in the heat for SAV. Brian, Josh, Boe, and the quiet dude, you all made my time there waaay fun. Justin and Justin's intelligent brother, you were massively fun to skate with. the wide-faced californian kid, you stoked everyone all the time!
Fabio and Summer, thanks for hosting the wild Lew's bearded wild man status! Loved the Cusses at the Jinx, and all the carnivorous plants in the garden... Miles and Harper are wild man status for sure.
To all you heads who were cool to me while I sojourned among you: Joe and Denise Burdick and fam, Jeremy and Jimmy from Underground, and so many others who didn't mugg me for my lunch money and who fed me and gave me drink, THANK YOU!!!!
without a doubt, there are tons of folks who we're looking forward to seeing again, and we'll make it as soon as possible.
thanks and shouts to Bhavik and Brennan (the wide faced boy) and curly moustache classy ledge-tech photographer who posted pics HERE
it is amazing to travel to so many places and see cooperation and common stoke making a place in so many cities... thank you all Savannah! We can't wait to bring Brumley, Weston, Native, Ben, Carrie, Elijah, Shane, and Joshie to get sunbaked with all of you soon.
Seriously though, we're going to skate nights down there. it's hot.
