Keep On Poppin'

Hey guys,

Hope you all had a great weekend filled with plenty of skating! I know we did! But now it's back to the grinder and Ollie Pop is making moves!

We had a great time out at the Clash at Clairemont this weekend and if you didn't get a chance to make it out, let me be the first to tell you, you definitely missed out. But don't be sad, because lucky for you our good ol' pals over at Transworld were there to cover the whole thing. That way you don't have to miss a beat! Go check out the video at Transworld.com to catch up on what you missed. Plus, you can see some of the photos on our Myspace and Facebook.
We also want to take this time to send out a huge apology to
Mt. Baldy on account that we were M.I.A. on sat. Johnny injured his back trying to tre-flip Hollywood high over the rail, so he couldn't make it. We apologize and hope we can do something together again in the future. Seriously, we had a back give out and could access the contact numbers - our bad.

Little Ryan Connors had a pretty good weekend. He is only 9, but get this... he dropped in and jumped over the groms in the 12 and under sponsored division at the CASL competition this weekend and took home 1st place, way to go RY!!! Be sure to give him some props for that!

Check out our friends at SPoTLIGHT throwing on the Tampa Pro, and look out for Jungle Jim if you are at the park because he's got a secret stash of Ollie Pop for his discretionary use.

As for upcoming events, Sarge and his peops up at Underwood Skatepark in PA, are hosting a contest on March 28th. It is called the Paddy Skate Jam and they’ll put on an Ollie Pop Sponsored High Ollie contest with 50 bucks getting shelled out to whoever wins!!! So start practicing your pop! Underwood is also freshly stocked with Ollie Pop, so make sure you pick some up while your there, that way you can get that extra pop that you're going to need for the comp.

We have a couple more shops that have just ordered some Ollie Pop, so now it's our job to let you know who they are. The first is Pulse Boardshop in Tyler, TX. So if you live in Tyler, or anywhere around Tyler, now you know where you can get your pop! Also, our friends over at P.B. Boys Club in Palm Beach, FL bought a couple cases. Check out their website, they have some sweet T-shirts on there that you can buy. But make sure if you live in the area you stop by the store and say hi and buy some Ollie Pop while you are there. Speaking of websites, you should go check out the new Ollie Pop website when you get a chance. It's fully loaded with all the Ollie Pop info that you need!

Oh, and if you are a chick into snowboarding or into snowboarding girls check out http://www.gurlryder.com/ for the wassup in shredding gals! You can follow it on twitter as well at gurlryder. Oh and get this.. we are tweeting now.. Follow GRINDSOME on twitter.

Thanks for stopping by for this week's Grind Some news! Let us know if your local skate shop doesn't carry Ollie Pop, just give us their name and a basic location and we will give them a call. And as a side note, we have been calling some of the skate shops that you guys have suggested and some of them think that they are too cool or too "hard core". So, if that is the case, just tell us where you live and we will call the nearest 7-11 and try to get it in there for you.

We will do our very best to make sure that you have complete access to buy your Ollie Pop. Thanks guys, now GO SKATE, RIDE and SHRED!!!

-Ollie Pop
