Poppin' On Down The Road.

Welcome back to what we know as the only blog in the world wide web that talks about rippers, riders, shredders and ships with POP! So things have been pretty hectic out on the event front… local shop comps, urban sessions and stateside activities…

Leading off with the shopside events, things went pretty well over at Underwood Skatepark in the PA this weekend.
Matt Ruane was the lucky winner of the Ollie Pop High Ollie Contest, so he took home 50 big ones for that! Nice Pop Matt.
We also want to thank Underwood for including us in that event – they move more than their fair share of Ollie Pop and we are happy to give their event something to get up for… Also on the sponsor side of things Ollie Pop fronted some product out to Jennifer Harmon’s Charity Poker event in Lake Tahoe – the 2 time WSOP champ powered through her allocation of Watermelon and started raiding the other player’s gift bags! Now we’ve created a monster as Full Tilt Poker TM Rich Bitar is bootlegging the good stuff to tournament all over the world.

With respect to some state oriented comps – Chase Barney was kickin' it old school style in Venice Beach, CA this weekend and got some sweet shots with him and his homies. Chase also took 2nd place in the street course at CASL at the Skatelab this weekend. He was also in the top five for the Mini Ramp. Good job Chase, keep poppin'! Bouncing east coast Jacksonville based Spencer Lau was busy. We say “based” not because he is grounded but cuz this kid has more miles logged than our own sales guys! well until this little kiss of pavement at the 4:40 mark on this youtube. The slendeezy 13 year-old did snag 11^th at Florida Bowlriders OPEN AM division earlier in march. Anyhoots, he’ll be rockin a new grill when he jets to AZ for the Phx AM where you’ll see the BROTHERS SHORT. Good luck guys and thanks for all your support! wish we good be there… Speaking of being there, OP made a little trek across the Mojave desert to check out the AM/DM action – that’s for Antonio Moya and David Mackay - at the 107.5 Extreme Thing. Despite the nation’s automaker challenges and are DOA alternator – the POP-mania machine got er done as did Vegas AM JAM 1^st placer Antonio Moya. AM took 1st in the skate intermediate 13 and unders, and podiumed with DM who took the top spot in the Mini Ramp 15 and unders. DM kept it rolling into the open comp with the big boys and placed 4^th. So be sure you stop by their myspace pages and show them some love. You can also see an overload of photos from Vegas and AM/DM on Flickr. Bookmark it with Digg or Delicious or whatever so you can get direct access to Ollie Pop photos.

So that’s about it. if you’re dying for some Ollie Pop and the homies at your shop say no mas.. you know the drill – dial 1-800-446-1787 and tell us where u b so we can rally the pop-ulation to get that shop some pop! Thanks guys, now GO GRIND SOME!!!
