Southbound and Down: Photos and an On The Boardr Episode

Published 10/14/2014 by Rob Meronek

Finally, we were in town to have our first event at The Boardr Headquarters after a super busy summer and fall of events in everyone else's backyard. I've got a few photos to go with the On The Boardr episode above from what turned out to be a super chill and fun day of bikes, skateboarding, a little booze, and a lot of friends meeting a lot of other friends as these worlds of four wheels and two wheels spent an entire day together. I hope you were here!

Stay Gold and Cold at Southbound and Down

Thanks to PBR and Emerica for backing Southbound and Down. We're staying gold, cold, and for me, old.

The Wease at Southbound and Down

You can't just go from Dirt Weasel back to plain old Alex. Alex is no dirt weasel anymore, though. I'll just refer to him as The Wease from now on. Nice frontside flip, Wease.

Jereme and Justin at Southbound and Down

Jereme and Justin. Jereme's hopping on a plane tomorrow to go to South Africa with us.

The Wease has a nice leveled out Meron grab. I've been doing them for 25 years now. They don't quite look like this, of course.

One week from tomorrow on Saturday the 27th at The Boardr HQ is a melting pot of motorcycles, skateboarding, and damn good times starting at noon. Our mini-ramp will be done where a jam will go down at 3pm after free PBR starts flowing at 2pm. At 5pm is a garage built chopper show. Most of the staff here at The Boardr rolls on two wheels when we're not on four, so this is one we're super excited about. I hope to see you here.
