Ramblin' Scramblin' Adam Hopkins

After getting the news that he would be getting a pro model on Bacon skateboards. He went straight to work on this video part to promote it!

24 years deep on the stuntwood, Adam Hopkins continues to keep the flames of stoke and aggression burning with this latest video part. Never satisfied with taking the easy route, Hopkins knows that sleeping on concrete, driving for days through unfamiliar landscapes, and making unexpected connections with the most colorful of characters are all part of the search for that perfect session. A paycheck or a podium are always secondary to the glory of unlocking a new spot or trick, and a cold beer with the homies always tastes better after the rollaway. When the road isn’t calling, Hopkins makes his home the destination itself, hauling lumber and driving screws in the endless quest for vertical – it’s a passion that has persisted for the Northwestern Ontario native since building his first vert ramp in a barn on the frigid shores of Lake Superior. If you cross paths with Adam, expect the airs to be blasted higher, the ramps built steeper, and the outlaw country cranked a little louder than if you hadn’t. This video part is a celebration of Hopkins’ guest pro model on Bacon Skateboards, and of the drive, determination, and desire that it takes to keep Ramblin’ and Scramblin’ no matter what stands in his way. - Stepan Soroka

Adam Hopkins' Guest Pro Model On Bacon Skateboards

This summer, Adam Hopkins was given a guest pro model skateboard on Bacon Skateboards.

After working with Pamela Prostarr MacCallum for a few weeks, they came up with a graphic that captures Adam’s Ramblin’ Scramblin’ skateboarding lifestyle.

Close Up!

From the top to the bottom, tons of details stick out. From the soaring eagle to the soaring scooter coming out of the skatepark bowl, there is so much going on. The rays of the sun behind the van, coming over the mountains, are actually strips of bacon. The multiple sheets of plywood and brooms on top of the van show that Adam is ready to make any spot work. Inside his smile shines through the windshield of his travelling home. He has put many miles traveling in the US and Canada in search of the next spot, DIY, or skatepark. A Ramptime Productions sticker made the cooler!

How did this model come about? Once Adam Hopkins started riding Bacon skateboards, the idea struck both Adam and Bacon Skateboards that a guest model would be appropriate. Adam is a well recognized skateboarder across Canada and the US. After the design was finished, they went into production.

Platform received its first delivery of his pro model in 2 sizes just before July 1st. We packed up some 8.25 and his preferred size of 8.6 and set out to surprise him at the Seylynn Skatepark. That day is the kick off to The Bowl Series. A contest celebrating all of the old style skateparks in Vancouver and surrounding areas. Seylynn, Griffin, White Rock and finishing in Whistler. The best skaters of the series is crowned the King Of The Bowls. Adam had already won that years ago. Taking first place at every stop when he earned the crown.

This day was different though. It was surprise time. How do you surprise someone who already know he is getting a model? Get 10 kids to deliver a board each while he is talking with friends between contest events.

Surprising Adam With A Delivery Of His Pro Model!

Along with the pro model skateboard, we have stickers in two versions. One sticker of the entire graphic and the other is a close up on the van. Perfect for van lifers, or those that will travel to any spot, no matter how far it is!

Their idea was to bring some top quality decks to skateshops for a skateshop deck price.

This supports the skate industry from top to bottom.

• Customer gets a pro quality deck at a great price

• The shop gets to sell pro quality decks and collaborate with Bacon skateboards

Everybody wins. Especially the skater.
