Blvd Skateshop

Tomorrow is the big day. The guys came in late last night. Sadly two of the Birdhouse guys were denied at the border (Jaws and Clint Walker). What happened to Free Trade??

Big thanks to everyone that entered the “MEET TONY HAWK” contest!  The winners have all been contacted and the contest is now closed.  Should be fun!

As far as the demo goes, everything gets started at 2pm at the Hastings Bowl.  Capacity is limited, so get there early if you want a good view.  We recommend you take transit. If you drive, there is public parking available at the PNE at Gate 6. (beside coliseum)

We ask that everybody please respect that this is a closed DEMO for Tony and the Birdhouse team.  Please dont bring your board, scooter, bike or pogo stick thinking that you are going to jump in the bowl and skate with Tony…….not happening.

Weather wise we’re expecting sunshine, so lets all have a fun day and show these guys why Vancouver is such a great city!!

That’s right, 100 lucky people are going to win a chance to meet Tony at an exclusive meet and greet @ Blvd Skateshop before the Hastings demo on Saturday July 28th.

Starting on Monday July 23 we’re going to give you clues on Facebook and Instagram on how to win a chance to meet Tony Hawk!

All you have to do is: ’like’ our FB page (here) and/or follow us on Instagram @blvdskateshop - then stay tuned for clues….

Blvd Skateshop is extremely pleased to announce the arrival of Tony Hawk and the rest of the Birdhouse team on Saturday July the 28th 2012!

Yes indeed – the final leg of Tony’s “Left Coast Tour” brings them to our beautiful city for one day and one day only.

Tony Hawk is without a doubt the biggest name ever in skateboarding and will be holding a demo at Vancouver’s infamous Hastings Bowl located at the PNE.

This free event kicks off at 2pm and will be fun for all ages. Viewing space will be limited so make sure you show up early and get a spot.

The Kensington Contest is back again for 2012!  We moved things up a little earlier this year as you may have noticed. We’ve got a really good reason though…..

This year’s event is brought to you once again by some of the oldest and best names in skateboarding with Vans and Powell Peralta leading the way. Followed by Thrasher, Bones Wheels, Ace Trucks, Skull Skates, Bones Bearings, 187 Killer Pads and us Blvd Skateshop.

We’ve got $1000 cash to give away and a ton of sick prizes. As always this event is open to all levels. There’s 3 categories to choose from: BAD/GOOD/MASTERS (40+) Entry Fee will be $10. All participants must sign a waiver or have a parent/guardian sign for them. Helmets are mandatory to all those under 16 and strongly recommended for everyone else.

**Special Guest Appearance by legendary Bones Brigade member Mike McGill**

We’ve got a late start (2pm) to allow for those who want to check out the Bowl Series event at Griffen Bowl the same day. Wee has offered to run the bbq again as well!

After an amazing day of shredding at one of Vancouver gnarliest parks we’re all going to head down to The Rio Theatre for a special showing of the much hyped Bones Brigade Documentary !!! This evening of awesome is brought to you by the fine folks over at Ultimate Skateboard Distribution.

That’s right, a full day of skateboard madness a little over a week away!
