Hey Everyone,

How awesome is this weather? It’s really encouraging to see so many different people of all different ages out enjoying the sunshine and working on their skating.

I found this article online that I thought you all would enjoy: http://dvice.com/archives/2011/05/a-house-perfect.php#5

According to the article, what you see in the pictures is supposed to represent ocean waves. But, since we all have the skateboarder mentality, those things look like giant quarter pipes and half pipes!

Anyway, that’s all I have to report this afternoon. We’ve got a few things we’re wrapping up here at our shop before the bulk of the crew takes off for the Memorial Day holiday.

Stay Classy.

Hey All,

With Earth Day upon us, I wanted to take a few moments to blog about our commitment to the environment. A description of our commitment is on our website (Giving Back), and I know I’ve written about it before, but it bears repeating.

We are proud members of an organization called 1% For The Planet. Companies that are a part of this agree to donate at least 1% of their annual revenue to an approved charity. The notion behind this is that 1% isn’t enough to cripple a company’s financial holding, so really, why wouldn’t you do it?

During the planning stages of Liberty Skate, we kept stressing that we wanted to do something for the planet as well. This organization allows us to contribute financially, but we also try our best to purchase materials and services from other, like-minded companies.

Because our primary product lines are wood half pipes, wood quarter pipes and wood grind boxes, it was obvious that we should donate money to the National Forests. Every $1 plants one tree. Based on even the most conservative revenue projects, we’re planting trees that more than replace what we used for our ramps.

Don’t worry – revenue from our other lines also gets donated. A part of every penny you spend with us on clothing, paint, skateboards, pads – whatever – will be donated.

So what are you waiting for? Buy yourself a new board, some new shirts and a couple ramps. It’ll be your good deed for Earth Day!

They say time is the best teacher.. it also kills all it’s students,

Hey Everyone,

I’ve missed you all. We’ve been working on so many different things here at headquarters that I seem to have neglected the blog entries. I hope you can all find it in your hearts to forgive me.

I wanted to take some time today to blog about a new offering from Liberty Skate that I believe will excite you. It’s something I’ve been hinting at for months. It’s…

PROTECTIVE PAINT!

It took much longer than any of us originally thought, but we think the end result is pretty great. It’s a single coat, water-based clear gloss protective coating. Once the surface dries, your all-wood skate ramp will be better protected from the weather, without jeopardizing the overall skateability of the surface. We were also able to do this at a great low price:

1 Gallon: $85
1 Quart: $30

Free shipping.

The quart will handle every size grind box and most of the quarter pipes. The gallon can handle every quarter pipe and the 8′ half pipe. 2 gallons will take care of the 16′ half pipe.

We have the paint on hand right now. I’m working with my web team to get the new section of the site up and running. I’m hoping to have this available online in the next week or two. Naturally, I’ll keep you updated!

Other than that we’ve been busy getting ourselves ready for the big spring rush. We’ve also been really enjoying the new Stuff section and all that’s been offering – shirts, hoodies, women’s clothing, youth clothing, completes and safety gear.

I’ll be in touch with you all again soon.

How come birds aren’t tickled by feathers?

Hey Folks,

It’s been a little while since I posted. If you follow us on Facebook or Twitter, you know that my lack of blogging has been due to frantically working on getting the new Stuff section live.

We’re still ironing out a few things here and there, but the good news is that the new section is live!
We now offer a number of different popular brands in the following categories: Completes, Helmets, Pads, Men’s Tshirts, Men’s Sweatshirts, Hats, Women’s Apparel and Youth Apparel.

It took quite a bit of searching, but we eventually settled on a wholesale provider that we are supremely confident in to provide us with all the latest and greatest for all our categories. In fact, they happen to have a very slick way of managing our inventory. Every single day we tap into their server to check for new stuff. If there are new products available, they automatically will get downloaded to our website. So what does that mean for you, the customer? If you look through our shirts online, then check back the next day, we’ll probably have an even better selection!

This was huge for us. We want to make sure that we’re making Liberty Skate the best possible website for you. So please, go to the new section and check out all the new Stuff we’re offering. We’re really proud and excited, and we hope you enjoy it too.
We have a bunch of other things still in the works. I’ll be sure to keep you all updated! Trust me, you’re all going to really love what we have in store for this spring season!

You know that little indestructible black box that is used on planes, why can’t they make the whole plane out of the same substance?

Hey Folks,

I hope your weeks are going well. If you’ve been keeping up with the blogs, Twitter and Facebook you know that we’ve been working like mad to enhance the Liberty Skate website. We’ve got loads of stuff still in the works – namely, a new apparel section, skateboard completes, safety equipment as well as a brand new protective paint for the all wood products! Everyone here at Liberty Skate is really excited about all of those, and I’m excited to tell you all about them as they become available (all of which should happen this month).

I’m writing today about yet another new feature. This happens to be in our Blog. If you’re currently reading this, then chances are you’ve already seen it.

It’s a new toolbar to help you consume, share and interact with all the content. You can connect to the toolbar through a number of different social media platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter, to name two. You can also share the content that’s printed on the pages via sharing services like Digg or just plain old email. You’ll also notice we have a “ticker tape” of sorts. Here you’ll see the latest posts from our Twitter pages.

On the right side of the toolbar, you can check out some of the Liberty Skate social media. You can look through some photos (submitted by us and others), videos, Facebook pages and Twitter pages.

Lastly, just for kicks, we opted to add in a Games section. Grant it, these aren’t fancy or graphic rich, but be careful, they’re more addicting than you think!

Anyway, that’s all I have to report now. As I said, there are still plenty of other things in the works, so please stayed tuned!
