Pop, Pop, and more POP!

What up world,
Well, it's good to be back here for another week of Ollie Pop's "Grind Some" news!
First off, we have some sweet team updates for you guys.
In the silver state, it was Ollie Poppers DM/AM skating 1-2 at the Retaks Expressions latest tour stop. David Mackay took top-spot on the mini-ramp with Antonio Moya as the 1st runner-up. So give it up for the mega-vegas shredderz! Speaking of desert rides.. Spencer Lau took the course at the PHX AM with some new choppers - "new" because well you can see here... look for S-Lau at the 4:40 mark in his striped top and well you can see that Spring Fling in Kona kind of flopped :( And um speaking of "oops", he did it again - Ryan Conners took 1st place, making it his third consecutive 1st place win in a row! If you ask me, homie's on fire! This time, it was at the Monster series in Grover Beach. Make sure you give these guys a shout out for all their hard work. Ryan isn't only doing work at all the comps he's in, he is also making it happen cause to save the ocean. To learn more about what Ryan is doing check out the latest issue of Novus Swell. There is a whole article about Ryan's cause and what you can do to help. Speaking of causes we'll be front some Ollie Pop to the FMX world in support of our lost friend, Jeremy Lusk, RIP with the Lusk Legacy Charity Poker Tournament next Wednesday April 15 at Pechanga Resort in Temecula. And what up with the POP and Poker --- crazy in that our friends at Full Tilt are bootlegging OP to their events and 2 time WSOP bracelet winner Jennifer Harman is all about the Watermelon. No worries JH - we gots some fresh POP coming out to you for your Charity Poker Tournament that benefits the Nevada SPCA.
For all of you rippers that want a chance to show what you got and get some sponsorship chances, Central Valley AM JAM has just posted up the dates for their upcoming comps. Check it out and if you are there don't be square - get out and skate!
So that’s about it. if you’re dying for some Ollie Pop and the homies at your shop say "no way".. you know the drill – dial 1-800-446-1787 and tell us where you be so we can rally the pop-ulation to get that shop some pop! Thanks guys, now GO GRIND SOME!!!
