RAE! Thursday, April 2, 2009 at 2:03PM The real spectacle to admire at Thrasher's Bordertown Benefit was the rippers on the vert ramp. There was some impressive skating going on from the moment I reached the spectator area. Here is a virtual board "SMACK" from me to all that killed it that day! Skate on everyone! Peace.

RAE! Sunday, March 29, 2009 at 5:37PM So this past Saturday Thrasher heald a benefit supporting the construction of Bordertown Skatepark a new spot in the works, out in West Oakland, California. It's been a long process but things are coming together over there and all of us skaters will get to reap the benefits soon!
I had the pleasure of attending Thrasher's benefit at their old warehouse in Hunter's Point. A minimum of $10 got you in where you could enjoy 5 live bands, $2 beers and shots, and good company. In addition you could either spectate or partake in the vert ramp session which was pretty dope. I personally don't ride vert so mad respect to all the guys who were ripping and riding!
I donated $20 (which is all I had) and Freddie was nice enough to really hook me up for my contribution (see pics below). Here are a couple of photos more pics of the event coming this week so be sure to check back! See you soon. Huah!
My $20 donation got me a Think deck, Lucky Bearings, Basset Hubba Wheels and Thrasher's "Beers Bowls & Barneys" skate dvd. Lindsay if you could think then you would've gotten some cool gear too.
