5th Annual DB Skim Comp (preview)



So the event was really good this year. Really good. That is why there will be an extensive blog post and write up as well as a Foreverskim article on the event. However this is just a preview!

We are headed on a road trip with Northwest Riders to the White rock/Vancouver area this week (sunday-thursday). We will be skimming eastbeach, spanish banks, and a bunch of spots around the area. Come skim this week if you are in the area and hopefully we will see you there!

Anyway...we'll have a great blog post when we return.

Pro Results:

1st: Isaac Thomas

2nd: John Minns

3rd: Richard Docter

4th: Yuri Chofour

Congrats to all the competitors, Ams really raised the bar, Pros through down some unbelievable tricks. But we'll get into that on Thursday with the full post on the event!

DB Skimboards Urban Skim Jam

As promised, here is the teaser from our urban skim jam with northwest riders and grizzly sports. Keep your eyes peeled for some of the tech variations and one foot combos. The team killed it and took some hard hits on the concreted bed of the skim pool. Props to Tony Saddler for the sick riding and Sick Edit!

Enjoy.

Bellingham Premiere Packs Out!





Skimmers in Bellingham Love DB! Sorry if you didn't get a seat, hopefully you got some pizza or a t-shirt or maybe even a board to make up for it! Anyway. The premiere turned out great, thanks to the outdoor center for helping set the whole deal up, lakeside skim crew for the local flavor, South American Snowboard Sessions, WesJ clothing, and everyone who showed us support!

The crew had a nice session in bellingham bay the next morning but we failed to get any shots! Sorry! Anyway, super fun sesh, Isaac landed 360 shuv to one foot big spin out, damn! that shizz is hot son! Doin Work! We also did some gnarly log grinds and pole jams. Played a bit of skim which included lots of gnarly knot grinds and crazy variations. Very fun.

COMP IS IN TWO WEEKS. We are building up a storm. BE THERE!

Later!
