MASKSSSSSSSSSSS

Dylan here, just smashed my thumb with a skateboard and I'm pretty upset about it. It 's MASKS season ladies and gentlemen. The MICHIGAN AMATEUR SKATE KONTEST SERIES going down right here at Modern GR. It all starts tonight with the BMX, skateboards on Saturday, and inline on Sunday.

BMX contest is at 6:30 Thursday. Skateboard and inline contests are at 2:30 Saturday and Sunday. All three contests are qualifiers for the finals at Modern Royal Oak. Top 12 skaters that sign up for the advanced mini division qualify to ride the VANS Warped Tour mini ramp contest July 31. 10 dollar entry fee for every division you want to enter.

In addition, we also got quite the rad batch of decks in. PLAN B Prolites are on the wall now, along with the limited edition WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE series by GIRL. Come in and get yours while we still have them!

YOU DID WHAT?

Yep. YOU BLEW IT. You missed the June skate camp. Sigh...

It's all good though, there will be two more opportunities this summer to get your camp on.

Highlights from the camp instructors and students coming soon! A very big thank you to the Lake Eastbrook SUBWAY (in the Lasik Plus plaza) for keeping us fed! Eat fresh!

More to come...sorry it's raining, keep skating. Late.

Wake Wars?...what the?

What exactly does wakeboarding mean to you? Day at the lake with some friends...tossing back some colas and getting sun burnt to death? Competitions maybe? Landing that front flip on your new Bonifay pro set up? How about gettin gnarly 4 feet from the deck on a surfer? Or maybe gettin' mad pop on a new two tiered wake skate? Well, we've got something for everyone...and so does the BOB!

That's right...WAKE WARS in downtown Grand Rapids!

Remember that cold weekend we all hung out at the B.O.B. parking lot for the Rail Jam? Well, we're making up for it now, mid summer heat styles, with a wake competition the likes of which I've only ever seen in Florida at Surf Expo. July 25th and 26th catch us downtown for some swag and coupons to the park and shop...as well as volleyball courts, a party pool, video premiers, food, drink and live entertainment...stay tuned for more info on the event!

DON'T FORGET SKATE CAMP!
It's like summer reading class, you can't leave school for the whole summer and expect to remember everything right? Keep on your toes with skate camp this summer. The first one starts next week Monday, 15-16-17th of June. 900-1200 instruction for three days, lunch awesomely provided by SUBWAY! and then skating until 630 for free! Reserve your spot today, only $120 for non-members and $100 for members. Our very own Matt Bueche and Andy Brost will be heading up camp, as well as your favorite team members.
