Bacon Skateboards Goes On A Spicy Adventure

The latest graphic series from Bacon Skateboards is a Spicy Adventure. This series is inspired by dime store novels and printed on the best wood. 

Spicy Adventure comes in 4 sizes from 8.25 to 8.75 wide, plus the Bacon 8.5 with a 15 inch wheelbase. For the rider that wants the stability at high speeds and big airs, a 15 inch wheelbase makes a huge difference.

Andy Anderson Interviewed By Stacey Peralta

Vulcan Bolts team rider Andy Anderson, sat down with Powell Peralta for an interview. This Powell Story covers what drives Andy. 

How does he see skateboarding. Is it a game, a sport? His answer will surprise you. For such a young man, he has amazing insight into the activity of skateboarding.

He even gives Stacey Peralta a new answer to an old question.

Watch the video below to understand. 

Andy Anderson is one of a kind. One of the most interesting and open minded skaters that you could ever meet. From free style skateboarding to big rails, vert ramps, and bowls, Andy has something for it all.

Vulcan Bolts has been supporting Andy Anderson for a few years now. We think he is only starting to make his mark on the skateboard world. 

There will be much more to come.

See Andy set up a new board with Nigel K Alexander of NKA Vids in the video below. His take on gripping a 9 inch wide board will impress you!

Bacon Cares.

Bacon Skateboards has donated 20 custom decks for the physical therapy of Matt Hankey. 

Hankey was 16 years old when he suffered a stroke that had serious repercussions. Matt was an up and coming skateboarder in the Medford, OR area. 

With the help of Bacon Skateboards, Hankey is raising money to fund his hydrotherapy. With the hydrotherapy he has a real chance of leaving the wheelchair behind and regaining most of his physical mobility.

Jack's Board House is selling 'Hope For Hankey' decks as a way of helping thier own.

Vulcan Bolts Makes Griptape!

Griptape has always been an essential part of skateboarding. It has to be grippy enough to control your board, but slippery enough to toss it around.

It is a tough line to walk. Grip to Slip ratio.

Vulcan Bolts has sampled and tested until they came up with the right combination. Grippy enough to pop, slippy enough to flick. 

Vulcan Griptape has arrived at Platform Distribution.

The griptape was all worked out. Then they added the comic on the back. It calls back to the comic strip in 25 cent bubble gums. Just enough to make you smile!
