> QLD FLOODS ANNOUNCEMENT
As mentioned an updated flyer will be out tomorrow, just quick mentions to the list....
Azar came through with Volcom, thanks heaps mate!
Altamont are sending product with the SoleTech package thanks guys!
ShakeJunt has product coming from PD with Baker / Deathwish.
DC Shoes emailed me and are on board, thanks guys!
And last but not least for this update, Steele has committed HUF & Deuce for product for Toowoomba.
This is going to be a great day, the convoy details for the crew heading up will start circulating at the start of next week.
Unfortunately I just found out that I'm un available that day now due to other legal commitments, would just like to say as a person effected by the floods that this Is great to see, props to everyone & anyone who is involved!
Flier and event of massive proportions - rad to see everyone get on board for this.
You might almost have more individual brands on that list than numbers of local skaters at the event, but I am sure there will be lots coming in from everywhere for it too.
So I believe this is Ben from 4128 getting this happening here in our little corner of the world, but there are other areas which have been hit by similar big issues of late.
Anyone think of taking it on the road and going to other areas, eg north Qld for one - go see imgne in Maryborough and take it up to Rockhampton, then down to Victoria once the water subsides or finally gets out of the river and flood plains.
Goodna got the double gut punch as not only did their suburb get a big dose of flood stain, but they have one of the only wood skatepark setups I know of in this fine land and it all went underwater...
One local guy said he went down there the day after the water went down and it was all wrecked, but that remains to be seen.
At least with concrete, you can just hose and scrub it off like they did for fairfield park area and it is good to go again. (I just wouldn't want to fall over on it and get an infected graze any time soon though!)
Considering both of rockys parks are close to the river that would be a pretty thoughtful idea, anyone know the current state of the parks, cause they may possibly need a new one
Cheers for the mention also mark!
But I managed to get out of said duties an will hopefully be making it down for the weekend!
Ok so the convoy heading up is growing by the minute!
Jeese Noonan
Nathan Jackson
Josh Dunmore
Woody Butwilowsky
Daz Durrant
I have another 10 or so to add to the list soon...
I think Rome Torti may be there with his camera phone. There's a bunch of us coming up.
Anyone from Brisbane going up, we are meeting at Coops to leave by 11am. I will keep this updated through out the week. If you are heading up and have spare seats if you could email me as I have a few younger shredders who need a lift up.
How are u lads gonna make sure the majority of the proddy is going to those who need it? It would suck for greedy uneffected kids taking all the good stuff..just a thought
P.s it's so good to see everyone getting on board! Such a positive thing to see the skate community coming together for a good cause!
