Boerne Public Skatepark Grand Opening

Here's some pictures from this past Saturday's Grand Opening at the Boerne Public Skatepark (courtesy of Matthew Trevino). Thanks again to H20 Urbanwear and GSA for helping make this event a success. If you haven't been out to the Boerne Park yet, you should definitely make the trek out there for a good day of shredding.

Out the way, here comes a tre bomb!

Grant McConnell showed up and placed first in his division in the contest portion of the day.

Rye Beres is probably my new favorite skateboarder. Just watching him push was enjoyable (along with the sick boneless and backside grabs). Rye took first in his division.

Old Soles for Young Souls

Matthew Trevino has setup a "fund" raising element that will greatly benefit children of all ages with the necessities we often take for granted. Instead of actual "funds" or currency, Matt is collecting shoes (used or new) for those in need. To support Matt's cause, Evolution Skateboards has setup a donation box at our Bandera location to collect any welcomed donations. For more information, take a gander at the flyer.

U|SK8 Camp

U|SK8 is hosting a rad, little summer skate camp in a few weeks. Adrian Williams of Think fame and Richard Jefferson of I&I Skateboards will be in attendance for some instructional portions of the event (and probably some shredding too). You can peep their blog here for additional information or just some cool stuff that supports the local scene.

Boerne Public Skatepark Shredding

With the ribbon cutting opening the doors for people to come shred the new Boerne Skatepark on Monday, USK8 took some locals up there after our Go Skateboarding Day at Springtime. Grant McConnell with friends, and new Evolution team dude Eric Garcia, sessioned up the new park. Eric threw down some buttery tricks on and over the handrail, which you'll be able to see some more of this Saturday at the grand opening.

Go Skateboarding Day 2010

On June 21st, Evolution Skateboards was proud to host the National Go Skateboarding Day at Springtime Skatepark yesterday evening. Well, I really wouldn't call it the evening with the heat index reaching near 100. With the heat of Texas laying down upon us, it didn't stop the crowd of skateboarders from attending the event. Here's some pics from the event courtesy of Matthew Trevino.

Eric threw out a ton of tricks on his home court, nailing a kickflip back smith for second place in the best trick on the larger ledge.

Roddie Frederik pulled out a backside noseblunt on the big ledge to take top seat in that division. Whoop, Whoop! Congrats, Roddie.

Tommy Wilkinson came out and killed the rail and small ledge with an onslaught of difficult tricks, helping him take 1st in both sections.

Quite a bit of product was thrown out, thanks to our sponsors and the skateboarders of San Antonio.

A huge thank you to all of our sponsors for helping put on this event and supporting the local skateboard scene. Thanks for Brent and Dan from Vans for making the trip out and unleashing a large amount of product to all who attended. This event would not have been possible without the skateboarders of San Antonio. Thank you.

Even though the Boerne Skatepark had its ribbon cutting/opening yesterday, SPA is putting on an official Grand Opening sponsored in part by Evolution Skateboards, Goodtimes Skateshop, and H20 Urban Wear. We're really stoked cause that park looks pretty sweeticle and we want to shred it along with everyone else.

Just in Time for Summer

Emerica Reynolds Cruisers in a very limited run, with just a few sizes in stock. All white to either keep clean this Summer or see just how dirty you can get them before school starts up again.

New Decks in Stock for the Weekend!

New decks in stock for shredding this weekend. Matt Miller has been boosted to a new and well deserved professional spot on Expedition's roster. We've got his pro model on the wall along with some new Baker and Death Wish boards.

Restocked our case with some Thunder 145mm high trucks too.

Vans Era Pro

The Era Pro is a major step in tweaking and upgrading the skate performance of one Vans' best selling classic shoes. With a reinforced suede top and more durable sole, this shoe has been rebuilt for street skating.

John Cardiel picked his favorite Vans model, the Era Pro, as part of the signature series issued by Vans in collaboration with fellow skate company icon, Spitfire. The Era Pro Spitfire features suede uppers and Vans classic waffle rubber soles.

Sick collaboration between two of the raddest companies in the skate industry.

Go Skateboarding Day - June 21st

Restock and Some New Stock

For $39 and some change, you can't go wrong with the Vans Era. This is a long lasting shoe for walks in the park and all that mumbo jumbo or some mellow skating on that parking block out front or your favorite ditch. This is a classic skate shoe with decades underneath its laces.

Also restocked on a black slip-on for the summer.

Just in at both shops, some very comfortable short sleeve button-ups from the Volcom Stone. Exclusive to core shops. Sorry Mall Walkers, but you'll have to jump in your car and cruise over here if you want to pick one of these up.

More $10 hats at both locations.
Matix and DC hats originally priced at $40.

Etnies Taylor LS

We just received a full size run of some delicious and comfortable Taylor LS shoes for a sweet deal at $49.95. If you want a shoe with some good board feel to it, this one's for you. Pick these puppies up for a mellow day of shredding or to chill in on those hot summer days.
