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!
Platform Distribution is the wholesale distributor for Vulcan Bolts hardware, bearings, and griptape. Contact your sales rep to bring Vulcan into your shop.
