Saturday, November 17th, 2007

So it’s been officially two weeks here so far in lovely Candyland – aka Barcelona.
Nothing but good times so far.
Ive been super blessed and have been taken in by some ripping locals whove been showing me nothing but love. Been skating some rad, random stuff, and been going to some epic nightlife events.
Hopefully I’ll be able to post some photos and footage soon.
I wish I could bring all the homies out to join me in paradise! Come out soon and visit, y’heard?

On a side note – I just finished up the website for the Shine On 90 Tour from over the summer. It’s got the entire video ready for download, and all the photos plus extras that didnt make into the Focus mag article.

hugs and kisses,
-Armin

Sick Mural at Clifton Park Store

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

In case you havent seen the amazing mural done in Clifton Park here are some photos. The Shelter would like to thank Sean McKenna of Vangogh finishes for contributing his talents to the growth of the shop. His work speaks for itself. Be sure to visit his website and contact him with any comments.

Any way, the shop looks great and you should go see for yourself. The Product inside isnt that bad either.

Design A Deck Contest!

Monday, November 5th, 2007

Coming up on Sunday November 18th from 10am – 12noon were having our first design-a-deck contest.
Here’s how it works:

The contest is limited to 20 people, so sign up early!
We supply you with all the art materials and a blank deck as your canvas.
You design what you want as a Shelter graphic.
All the boards are then put on display in the skatepark for the next few weeks where anyone that comes to skate can vote on their favorite graphic.
On December 3rd we tally up all the votes, and the winner is announced!
The winning design will then be reproduced with our next order of Shelter decks!
Everyone that enters gets to keep their boards that they designed!
The winner gets to keep 2 of the boards that we will get screened with our next order!

This contest will definitely fill up quick, so sign up soon!

Any questions, add a comment here, call the park @ 438-2228 or send an email to armin@skateshelter.com
