Happy Day

First off, I would like to wish everyone a happy Go Skateboarding Day and a happy Father's Day. How appropriate is it that Go Skateboarding Day is on the longest day of the year, as well as the first official day of summer! Yay, June 21st is just a great day.

On a less happy note; after a horrible incident at the Ranney Skate Park, we (all the Modern employees in Lansing) would really like to continue strongly promoting helmets. If you do not have a helmet, please please please come in a buy one. They are only $39.95, and your brain is definitely worth way more than forty bucks. We carry Triple Eight helmets in multiple colors and sizes. Please, come in and purchase one.

Koston's on SB

Well here's some news in the skateboarding world; if you didn't know Eric Koston left the Lakai team about a month ago, (we all remember the flying shoe). Anyway, after all the hype and anticipation he finally landed with Nike.

Today, two of us spent a couple hours building a mini ramp out of cardboard to display in the shop window. Well funny thing is...I measured wrong, and it doesn't fit, awesome...not.

We got a new skate order in. New Deathwish and Real decks, Independent and Royal trucks, longboard wheels and trucks, and the Powell FUN! DVD.
After long nine years, Powell Skateboards steps up with a new roster of skaters and delivers FUN!, the latest video title. The current roster includes Jordan Hoffart, John White, Josh Hawkins, Dallas Rockvam, Derek Elmendorf, Ben Hatchell and Aldrin Garcia.

Purple Is Now In Style!

You want to know why purple is cool, nothing rhymes with it! It's unique!

If you don't want to be a square (yep, bringing back the old school lingo), you're in luck! We have tons of purple products! Just in this picture alone there are Royal and Venture trucks, a Habitat deck, Alien Workshop and Plan B wheels, an Element t-shirt, and DVS shoes...all PURPLE!

Today, we got in a new skate order containing Venture, Royal, Krux and Independent trucks, Powell completes, Spitfire and Hubba wheels. We also got in Baker Has A Death Wish summer tour video.

Just to let everyone know, on Go Skateboarding Day (June 21st) there is free skateboarding at all of our Modern Skate Parks. For hours at the skate parks on June 21st, click here.
