Such a good turnout in Bluffton for our demo yesterday. Here’s our video sampling of the chaos.

Birdhouse demo Savannah, GA from Birdhouse on Vimeo.

Tonight and last night the people of Bluffton, SC have treated us really well. We made it to Bluffton Family Seafood House and to Pour Richards. Some of the best food we’ve had all trip. The people who run those establishments are top notch. The demo today was on par with the food and service too. It seemed like all of Bluffton was at the park. Check the photos for proof. In the mean time we are becoming good friends with the Weather Channel.

On August 22nd the Birdhouse team skated SPoT and despite some rain had a good time in the indoor park and killed the vert ramp.

Finally made it to Kona! After a day of skating a ton of spots and heading over to the University of Jacksonville we made it to Kona and the guys skated a good demo. Riley’s got a good frontside flip and Clint’s back nose blunts are notable as well. Tony Staab and a slew of locals along with Buck Smith skated the vert ramp for a demo and Tony even asked if anyone had any old school requests. Awesome times and I got to skate the snake run.

Check our freshly uploaded video from the first stop of our tour in Miami. Everyone had a great time.

Decided to get some sleep after getting in late last night from our drive through Alligator Alley from Miami. Once everyone was up we packed up and headed over to The Bricks in Ybor City for some food. The Bricks is run by the Skatepark of Tampa crew and they do a great job at hosting a ton of events. After lunch we decided to get over to the skatepark early so the guys could warm up and skate around with the kids before the demo started. It was raining all through lunch so it was looking unlikely that Tony and Staab would get to skate the vert ramp. Luckily the sun came out about 45 minutes before the demo started and dried up the huge puddles. Tony took to the vert ramp along with Kevin Staab and a group of locals and some of the Birdhouse skate team. Afterwards we had a quick product toss and decided to get on the road. A huge thanks goes out to Clements and the guys at Skatepark of Tampa for their hospitality. Nobody does it like them.

Woke up this morning and went straight to some spots after food. Almost everyone got a line at the first spot so we went straight to the demo after that. The demo was packed with kids and the heat didn’t bother them. After the demo, Jaws got swarmed by the kids for landing a sizable melon back 360, we headed to Olliewood, Alan Gelfand’s private bowl. Tony, Staab, Jaws, Riley, Hale and Gregoire all got some good runs in before we jumped on the road for our drive to Tampa.

Just got off the airplane and headed straight to the hotel to check in. After taking in the sights of the Mondrian here in South Beach, we skated down the street to David’s Cafe. A diner specializing in Cuban cuisine. It didn’t take long for Jaws to find a spot after dinner and get to work. Here’s a quick few photos of our brief afternoon.
