Ramblin' Scramblin' Adam Hopkins

Dennis Regan

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

Bacon Skateboard x Shop Collab Decks

Dennis Regan

This spring we were able to connect Bacon Skateboards with multiple skateshops across Canada.

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

Bacon Skateboards and Canadian skateshop retail collaboration deck images

Eclectic Skateshop, 808 and Bench, Local 124 and Influence Boardshop all received shop decks with custom graphics for their customers

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

  • Bacon skateboards builds decks for each shop with their logos

Everybody wins. Especially the skater.

We are the Canadian Distributor for Bacon Skateboards in Canada.

Bacon Skateboards Back In Stock

Dennis Regan

The latest from Bacon Skateboards has hit the warehouse.

Amazing graphics and the Bacon quality wood that we have all come to know and love.

Never afraid to push the graphic envelope, this season pushes it again.

Everything from the Rat skull to the Trucker Corpse, the Bacon graphics never fail to surprise and delight.

This season, Bacon has been expanding on their clothing.

Bacon Skateboards In King Mag

Dennis Regan

We were super stoked when we got this picture of Chuck Pontone to run in our latest ad.

Bacon Skateboards came through with the sick shot of him pulling a frontside Invert in the deep.

The photographer, Coburn Huff caught the shot at exactly the right time; Hand on coping, feet shifted for re-entry, eyes on the landing.

Thank You For 5 Years!

Dennis Regan

We are grateful for the ongoing support of our Canadian retailers.

So grateful that we ran an ad in SBC Skateboard magazine to thank them!

5 years of support! Thank you all!

5 years of support! Thank you all!

We started bringing core skateboard companies to Canada 5 years ago. We had the plan to offer Canadian skateboarders access to smaller skater owned companies that they couldn’t get.

We reached out to many small brands and over the years we have built great relationships with them. Some have folded along the way. As it goes in business. Nothing is guaranteed.

Some brands like Jetty clothing have exploded in to the Canadian retail space. Shops that are willing to try something less corporate are singing its praises.

After receiving their first delivery of Jetty clothing in the Fall of 2018, Mick from HTO in Victoria sent us this email.

Do you have any stock in Canada?? This stuff is selling like crazy!

Many of our first time retailers have done in season orders after seeing the high quality products from Jetty.

The story is great. It started 14 years ago with 5 guys putting $200 in a hat. Now it is selling across North America. 3 of the first 5 founders still work day in and day out in the business. When is the last time you heard that?

They have always focused on using eco friendly inks in their own screen printing factory. All of their cut and sew is made using best practices.

All of our hardgood brands are skater owned and operated.

Focused on making great product and supporting great skateboarders to get the next trick.

Bacon Skateboards are making the best concaves and crushing the underground. Moonshine Skateboards are supporting the outsiders of the outsiders; freestyle and vert. Speedlab Wheels are making the best Made In USA wheels that money can buy. Blood Wizard is supporting the activities of brave skateboarders pushing what is possible in the concrete playground. Send Help Skateboards are taking the art of Todd Bratrud and making it into perfect skateboarding tools. Vagrant Skates is supporting the underserved. PS Stix pressed and graphics by the best. Dieta skateboards is the true work hard, play hard brand. Proper Footwear is designed to last and skate right out of the box. Vulcan Bolts are forged by the hand of the gods in the forge. The Portland Wheel company is making creative urethanes right there in the USA. Skate Balm is making the world skateable, one ledge at a time; Maintain That Flow. Jivaro Wheels are on the darker wave, with made in the USA urethane and a darker look at the world we all live in.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Bacon x Brin Levinson In Stock

Dennis Regan

Bacon Skateboards has collaborated with artist Brin Levinson to create some amazing deck graphics.

Brin has been creating ‘cityscapes that are being recaptured by nature’ for years now. The amazing detail and impact of the imagery can be seen. Just look on the bottom of the latest batch of Bacon Skateboards.

We received a shipment of the series into the warehouse and everything stopped.

The detail is something to behold.

Find out more about Brin Levinson on his website. He has prints available for purchase. In case you don’t want to put a board up on your wall.
