Puerto Rico/Guajataka Downhill 2013
The FB Crew consisting of Rob Wheeler, Ricky Wheeler, Kardon Allard, Jesse Wipf, and Brian Fitch are back from an EPIC week of surfing the waves and the asphalt in Puerto Rico. There are video yet to come of this shred trip. The surf was excellent throughout the week, and plenty of awesome hills to shred! We even got in some great days of bodysurfing on the FB Handboards, and also some awesome footage. Jesse Wipf became Faceplant Boardriders' first sponsored handboarder simply beacause he is SICK at it. He dropped in and ripped up so many waves over the week. They competed in the slide and slalom and Rob Wheeler took 3rd place in the Slalom riding the Gremlin with the WheelRZ Magic 8-0s, but apparently, there was nothing for 3rd place this year. The slide jam got rained on, but the show went on and it was more chaotic than the downhill. Pretty wild event. It was an EPIC shred trip, and we can't wait for net year!!!

2012 Recap
2012 was a stellar year for FB! Along with building lots of new progressive longboard shapes, we also have introduced bodysurfing handboards and WheelRZ Longboard Wheels to our lineup. We plan to donate a percentage of our handboard sale profits in the upcoming year to Sandy Relief as we have seen and been a part of the devastation the Hurricane left behind, and we want to help be a part of the relief/rebuilding process. WheelRZ Wheels has had an amazing response amongst the longboard community, and we expect to come into 2013 with some awesome additions to our lineup. We had a blast skating and sponsoring a lot of jams this year, especially our first annual "Skate the Cape Shred Festival" which we will be having again in 2013 with plans of making it even bigger. We also are stoked on the addition of three new FB Riders this year: Kardon Allard and Austin Bouthillet with their hard charging freeride abilities and steeze along with Braxton Warrington who is progressing exponentially in his freeriding and downhill skills. FB is stoked for the upcoming 2013 year and will be introducing a few new progressive shapes as well as modifying some of our existing shapes. We will also be a sponsor to the Guajataka Downhill 2013 this coming January, and we will have a full FB Crew there representin'. The progression never ends at Faceplant Boardriders!

Kardon Allard awed the crowd with his super fast switch front and back checks. Braxton Warrington would snag 4th in the Slide Jam. It was a fun all day shred event with good vibes all around ending with a kick-ass BBQ.

Schuylkill Push Race
Rob Wheeler, Ricky Wheeler, and Braxton Warrington went up to Philadelphia on Sunday (August 5th) to take part in teh Push Race and the Slide Jam. It was a laid back event that was more about being there and having fun than anything else. Best part was we had some of our demo WheelRZ Wheels to test out and we were stoked with how awesome they were. The push race was on closed roads and paths, so pushing 8 miles without traffic was so nice! Just had to watch out for the cyclists. The slide jam was at Lemon Hill and Rob took first displaying his surf style slide runs that always stand out. Great people and a fun day of riding. Doesn't get much better.

International Skate Day
We had a blast shredding with some of the FB Crew along with many other at the Cape on International Skate Day. It was a hot one, but Liquid brought out a popup canopy tent for shade and we had plenty of water for everyone so nobody had heat exhaustion. There were some pretty gnarly spills, but that is Pain for Progression at it's best. Thanks to everyone who came out and had a great time skating the Cape.

Thrill Ride and Oreginal Gremlin Release
In case you haven't noticed, we have reeled our two latest boards (the Thrill Ride and the Oreginal Gremlin).

It is a symmetrical twin shape board with W Concave and big kicks. The Thrill Ride knows no limits. The Oreginal Gremlin is part of the Oreginal series. Basically is the Oreginal Fattail and the Mini Stick were to have a baby, it would be the Oreginal Gremlin. This board is super maneuverable with a nice kicktail to kick through those tight spots, tic tac, and pump up to speed. Get on one of these board now!

It was a fun event that had everyone walking away smiling at the end of it. The FB Crew consisted of Rob Wheeler, Ricky Wheeler, Brandon Harrison, Kardon Allard, Austin Bouthillet, Tino Romano, and Braxton Warrington.

Broad Street Bomb
The Faceplant Crew was at the Broad Street Bomb this past Saturday, and it was an awesome event. We loaded up some new clothing and longboards at Community Bikes and Boards in Philly and went straight to FDR Skate Park. We took the train to the start where we ran into hundreds of longboarders all stoked for the Bomb. Everyone bombed Broad Street over 8 miles back to FDR dodging traffic, bikes, pedestrians, and anything that got in the way. For those of you who don't know, FDR is an amazing concrete skate park that you can flow through so well, and it is so fun to shred. You know we took advantage of that before the Lemon Hill Slide Jam. The Slide Jam was just pure fun and everyone was throwing down some wild slides. Awesome day of shredding!

FB All Over
Faceplant Boardriders have been all over the place lately. Ricky and Rob Wheeler went down to Southern MD and did some longboarding and filming with new team rider Brandon Harrison and also Billy Daisycutter. It was an awesome day skating various places. Then they met up with artist Mike Hedrick who had some fresh decks finished up for completion. The next day they stopped in a few MD skate shops and FB will soon have their boards in East of Maui located in Annapolis, MD. FB Rider and Rep Brian Fitch was shredding the Allentown-Bethlehem area in PA and entered a contest in a local skatepark. He shredded it up with his surf style in the concrete park on the Street Surfer and got an awesome response. Friday was the BBQ and skate session with Ricky, Rob, Jesse Wipf and many others located at and around Switch Skate Shop in Newark, DE and the session was a blast! Today FB Rider Brandon Harrison showcased his tech sliding skills on the Kingspin and got his 3rd First Place WIN. This kid is absolutely killin' it in contests on the KINGSPIN!
