The Board of Arts

Recently, The Board of Arts put a spotlight on their page about Protest Skateboards and Hippie Mike. The page is managed by Don Pollock, an Old School Skater/Artist and is all about promoting the lost arts that live in the skateboard world. Promoting local and small companies, highlighting new and unique board graphics, and bringing back memories with lots of photos from the 80’s, The Board of Arts is a great place to hang out. Check out this recent compilation and support local businesses.

16 year old Dominic DeVries entered a video into Ride Channel’s “Shredit Cards” to win Credit at Tampa Skate Park and totally came through. Congratulations Buddy!!

Anyone around here knows Dominic, and understands fully why I refer to him as The Dominator. Flip Tricks, Rail Tricks and huge Gaps, put ’em all together and it’s worth big bucks… Now he just needs a ride to Florida.

Check the vid.

Protest Decks are Built Tough

Dec 22,2012 / By Protest Skateboards / No Comment

Protest Skateboards has been around for over a decade and there’s one thing they were always proud of – having strong decks that don’t break easy. Over the years Protest has dealt with a few different manufacturers and always liked to keep it Local. They have now found the best of the best to produce their decks, they’re strong, durable, solid and tough to break.

Thanks Folk Skateboards!!

Check out the owner Hippie Mike trying to break a Protest Deck on the ramp (it had been cracked for 3 weeks prior to this)

Travis Emerson is really good

Dec 14,2012 / By Protest Skateboards / No Comment

Here’s a quick video filmed by Dominic DeVries of Travis Emerson shredding up Chuck Bailey for a half an hour. Travis puts down a couple tricks in this little edit that are effortless for him but practically impossible for most other people. This kid is very unrecognized for how talented he actually is and I hope someone blows him up huge soon. Chance Skateboards is hookin’ him up at least.

Super tech, super chill, super awesome – Travis Emerson
