Check out full results and a recap.
What is a Skateboarder? Rodney Mullen, Tech Industry, and Innoskate
1/29/2015
This one hit fairly close to home for me. I've been both a computer and skateboard nerd my whole life. Recently, Rodney Mullen has immersed himself in the world of Linux, a computer operating system made by this dude Linus who I would imagine now can kickflip like everyone else. Anyway, Rodney was recently written about in this Wired article where he goes on about the similarities between banging your head on a computer keyboard like I do all day and perfecting skateboarding stunts.

BINGO at The Boardr Match Ups
12/19/2014
We're putting all the individual match ups for the later rounds in the industry game of SKATE we had here at The Boardr. We called it BINGO at The Boardr where letters worked opposite from SKATE, so the first old guy with BINGO wins.
The Boardr Live 2014 Stats: 4,000+ Skateboarder Profiles
12/19/2014
The Boardr Live is our live and instant scoring software that is used at most of the skateboarding events we run. Zumiez, Vans, adidas, Cowtown, and other friends in the industry also use it to make their events run smooth and integrate with live TV and web broadcasts. I dove into the numbers to get some end of the year stats on the 4,000+ skater profiles that were created and/or updated. We've got pros, ams, and "former pros" in our database which throws the pro/am percentage total off a bit, FYI.
BINGO at The Boardr, The Dekline Premiere, and Tampa's Big Weekend
12/13/2014
While much of the industry is in town, we had a few things of our own going on including an industry game of SKATE we called BINGO at The Boardr. We also showed the Dekline True Blue video and watched some of Tampa Am, too. I've got a few photos from all that and HiDefJoe has the video recap.

Ripping Skateboarding and Hip Hop at Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival
11/13/2014
The Boardr crew had the pleasure of working with Tyler the Creator and Vans Syndicate to run a skateboard shindig right alongside the Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival. We saw ripping skateboarding and equally shredding hip hop shows from Action Bronson who threw half a pound into the crowd to Rick Ross whose boys let us chill on stage behind him as he performed. Damn, what a Saturday.
Upcoming Events in Tampa with The Boardr
11/5/2014
We've got one more upcoming event this weekend outside of Tampa where Tyler and the Golf Wang crew have hired The Boardr to run an invite only skateboarding contest while the 3rd Annual Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival goes down right next to us. There's an open best trick portion to it, too, so bring your board if you have a ticket. Pharrell, Tyler, Ricky Rosay, Mr. Fisherman, Earl and more are performing. I'm a fan of the entire spectrum of hip hop from party rap to the intellectual tunes, so I'm especially excited on this one. After that, it's all Tampa. Here's the list of things coming soon with The Boardr. Thanks for being a part of what we're doing in skateboarding.

I've got a few photos and Joe has an episode of On The Boardr 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.

How Nyjah Huston Lost to Nassim Guammaz in South Africa
10/9/2014
Half way through the 3 minute jam, you could hear the crowd getting more and more live as it became apparent that Nassim had a chance of beating Nyjah in their first head to head bracket. Then the crowd started chanting for Nassim. After the last minute of the jam with both skaters getting in their bangers, it was Nassim on top by just 1.33 points to advance. When it was announced, the crowd went nuts. Nyjah smiled and congratulated Nassim for knocking him out of the brackets. In the end, Kelvin who didn't have to skate against Nyjah because of that, ended up winning the $100k. The tricks here are just a small sample of what went down. HiDefJoe is only one person filming these two rippers.
