75% of the way to the board giveaway
Posted by tj in Uncategorized on April 24th, 2009
Hey guys,
Jut thought I would post an update for those of you that subscribes to the RSS. We are currently 75% full for the skateboard deck drawing/giveaway. I know skateboards are always a nice thing to get for free but is there anything else that you guys would rather have? We could do shirts, trucks, wheels, bearings, stickers, or anything else you might want. skateboards make for a good giveaway because they always seem to break.
So, let me know what you guys need in terms of skateboarding gear. Leave a post.
Thanks,
TJ
Top Five Ways to get Free Skateboarding Products
5. Get Sponsored
This is last on the list because it really is one of the hardest ways to get free stuff. Granted once you get to this stage the free stuff keeps on coming but don’t plan on getting sponsored over night. Some people can pick up a shop sponsor pretty quickly, say a few years after they start riding but the majority of riders don’t make it this far. I was riding for four years before I was riding for the local shop and that sponsorship translated into one free board a month.
4. Know Someone that is Sponsored
Chances are if you ride a lot you know someone in town who is on flow with at least one company. Any friendship needs to be sincere but if you do happen to have a friend that rides for someone sooner or later he/she will pass something along to you. The group of guys I ride with are always giving stuff to their friends.
3. Get to Know a Rep
A rep is an individual who travels a given territory and represents a company or brand. They are a traveling sales man who visits shops and tries to promote the company they work for. Part of this means giving away free stuff. I worked for a shop who had reps come in all the time that put on free mini demos of what every they were trying to push and they always gave something away when they did it. You see they are allowed a certain amount of stuff to give away at their discretion.
2. Demos
If you have ever gone to a demo you know what I am talking about. The point to a demo is to advertise a company by having all of its riders put on a show. Usually at the end of the demo they will have a product toss and if you are in the right place you could end up with some cool swag. Any good demo would be hard to leave without at least getting s few stickers.
1. Giveaways
You are reading this from a site that is giving away free stuff so I don’t think I need to explain. There are tons of places that offer similar deals. After book-marking this site, do a Google search to see what else is out there that people are giving away. Remember you can’t win if you don’t enter.
40% Full for the second free board

Hey guys I just wanted to let you know that the 40th spot was just filled so we are almost half way there. Thanks to everyone who is helping us along, your comments are much appreciated.
Giveaway Rules
It is free to enter.
There is only one giveaway at a time.
Each giveaway has a predetermined number of spots available.
The winner is determined when all the available spots are filled.
You can only enter once per giveaway.
You can not win two consecutive giveaways.
Pop-Shuvit, aka Shuvit, aka Shuv
I received a request form Logan to add a tip on doing nollie back side shuvits and regular front side shuvits so her it goes. Rather then breaking down each trick separately I will address shuvits in general. There are two ways to do the trick, with pop, and with out pop. If you are looking to take these tricks down stairs, off of a drop, or into other tricks you need to learn them with pop. That said it may be easier to learn them with out popping.
Shuvits are all in the scooping action of the back foot. Every one feels comfortable with a different stance but if you start by setting up like you were going to do an ollie that would be a good start. The trick is to not have you front foot interfere with the rotation. The Front foot shouldn’t do any of the work on the take off; its purpose is in the landing by stopping the rotation. Do not use your front foot to rotate the board.
If you are having trouble getting the board to rotate correctly try standing stationary with your board in front of you and work on scooping the board with one foot. This may seem like a dumb exercise but it will help you to become familiar with how to scoop the board with one foot. Hope this helps,
TJ
