Slappy Happy Techslide Tuesday

Techslide Tuesday has been jammed with faces new and old all summer long. As the days have gotten shorter, and colder, we have been stoked to still see some strong numbers joining us. Just because the weather turns, we don’t stop. Wetter can be better, especially when trying to learn some technical slides. No friction!!

Nevertheless, we were out in force last week and out for fun. Find out why we’re so slappy happy below…. // read more

Sidewalk Skate Session: Chinatown DIY Kicker

Typically we only skate the closest and most obvious spots to our skateshop under the cover of darkness. Less pedestrians, cooler outside, and more time to generally lurk and skateboard versus hit it and quit it. Every now and then we get a little frisky on a Sunday night out front of the store. ChinatownYVR gets quiet after the daily hustle and Sunday nights shops tend to close a bit earlier. With some warm setting sunlight through the Downtown Vancouver high-rises, some of the Flatspot Longboard Shop team pulled out one of the DIY kickers onto the sidewalk and started a little impromptu skate session. // read more

Juke Jive Jam: Riki’s Bowl Jam Photos

Flatspot hosted our first ever, and hopefully not the last, Juke Jive Jam a few weeks back. We have so much appreciation and stoke for the artists that performed for the show and will be releasing more photos and video from the event soon! In the mean time, we wanted to keep the stoke alive with an album from the Jam side of things in the Wok and Riki Fandrakis had a bangin photo set to share with us.
