Once again we partnered with Vans to clean up our local skate park. This time we were at Ives Park and everyone in attendance got a free Vans hat, water bottle, hot dogs and water. Thanks to all the skaters who came out, it was fun as usual!

As stated in an earlier post,  the Holler family has been doing a lot to get the Tonawanda Skate Park going.  Well since they have entered the Pepsi Refresh Contest they have gone no where but up in the voting.

While voting ends tomorrow (July 31st) the Top 10 ideas for the project get awarded $50,000 for their idea.

Tonawanda Skate Park is ranked 10th as of today, July 30th at 2:30pm.

How awesome would it be to have a park 5 mins away!

A new flyer for those of you who don’t know, the skate jam is this Saturday, July 24th at Noon! If you’re under 18 make sure to bring a helmet and your legal guardian to sign a waiver.

We will also have info on Friday about an Ives Skatepark Jam in Tonawanda around early August.

The third jam at the Sheridan store will be this Saturday, June 26th. Like the last jam, we will have a bunch of ramps to pull out and skate along with $1 hot dogs, water, Red Bull, and pop. We will also be raffling off another deck and possibly a pair of shoes from Etnies.

Remember if you’re under 18, bring your legal guardian to sign a waiver.

The Parade starts at 5:30 with a skate to X-Wheels at 6:30 where there is free admission to the park. Here are the directions the parade will be taking.
