First Session on the Red Curb
Published 1/6/2015 by Rob Meronek
Once Kyle Berard poured and set it, we patiently waited while it cured and Casey lathered layer after layer of red. Finally, it's ready for trucks. HiDefJoe documented the build and what it costs and takes for you to do this yourself if you've got the space. I've also got a few sequences to cap it off.

Porpe's activities on the baller courts may be helping with his snaps on the board.
Seamus works with us on the Excel Management side, too. I like how it's an easy recovery with a Willy grind when slappy goes wrong.
When Kyle Berard first laid down the frame for the red curb, it was ear to ear smiles around here.
The curb is at a 95 degree angle for that five degrees of extra help you might need in your old slappy age.
The base of the curb cut that will send you over the fire hydrant.
A giant vibrator called the Wacker? Yep, it shakes up the concrete and makes it set smooth or something like that.
Casey's chiseling away the ground for the curb cut so the concrete doesn't break up at the base like you see at a lot of DIY spots. The base needs to be one solid section of concrete so it doesn't chip away at the super thing parts. I got this basic knowledge from Kyle Berard.
Spread the concrete thin.

An Official Bid'niss Milestone for The Boardr
11/19/2013
It's been a fun few months of building a company from scratch. Today, we set an accounting formality and officially started The Boardr payroll. The first four employees are Ryan Clements, Jorge Angel aka Porpe, Bob Freeman, and Rob Meronek behind the lens here. I wonder how long this is going to last? I would guess 2013 to infinity. Thank you for the support, thanks skateboarding for everything else, and here's to 2014! That other document Ryan is holding is another piece of important sentiment for us that I'll address in another post. I just wanted to have it in this memorable photo and early milestone.

There's so much going on here from events planning to systems work to physical buildout to financial stuff to skate park ideas that I can't even keep track of where I'm at and what I've documented. We're working smart and steady here still putting our 2014 together while I pause here for an update. Our tenants in the other half of our warehouse are now out so we can start figuring out what will work for our facility to play with our skateboards in.
Another Milestone at The Boardr: TF Construction Begins
4/30/2014
Now that we've got some time to stop and breathe from having one big event behind us (NYC) and another one just about complete (Vegas), we can finally start dedicating some attention to the homefront. Yep, it's another baby milestone for us here at The Boardr. Today starts construction on our TF! We're going slow and calculated as usual with this project, too. I don't know my physical construction tools very well, but I do know there are some things in this photo that indicate concrete. Damnnnn, it's on. Feels like we're finally getting furniture in an empty home. Right now all I have for you is this one single photo.
