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!!!

Hey all,
Welcome back for some fresh vital Grind Some news!
As you all should know if you really skate, the Tampa Pro was this past weekend and boy oh boy was it off the hook! If you were geographically restrained (like us) to some anti-SPoTampa location without access to FUEL.tv and missed out on this event, then don't cry just yet, because you can see the whole thing at FUEL.TV online. Some killer skating going on there and thanks out to Jungle Jim who made the trip and dropped some Ollie Pop to the lucky ones in the crowd. Surely they will splice a made for tv version on cable as well. Consider that our little tidbit of gift to you for this week. See... we here at Ollie Pop like to share the sites and take care of our peops.
While we are on the subject of comps. our young riders rip! Ryan Connors is rolling like the proverbial king of the heap eh #1 This time it was at CC Monster Series. So make sure you stop by his Myspace page and leave him some love. Additionally, we'll be rolling the Ollie Pop Van out to meet our groms AM/DM (Antonio Moya and David Mackay) at the Extreme Thing happening at Desert Breeze park in Vegas for the VegasAMJAM. Good luck guys! Oh and a finally - did we tell you about our little SoFLA ripper - Alx Sorgente? - well shame on us cause a couple weeks back the super steazy italion stallion won the overall GROM division at the Florida Bowlriders Cup with a second in Kona and top spots in New Smyrna and Cocoa Beach. Check out the details from our friend DD - Dave Duncan at World Cup Skateboarding. Oh and grand finale - props out to Reuben who trekked with his little bro all the way from El Centro to check out the Ollie Pop WHQ. You rock and we appreciate all your support. Stayed tuned as we gots some ideas brewing for you with K1.
Anyways, check this out! We've been telling you about the Patty Skate Jam at Underwood Skatepark for the past month or so and believe it or not, it's almost here! Sarge and the homies over in PA, are hosting the contest on March 28th. It is called the Paddy Skate Jam and they will be putting on a 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. Speaking of Freshly Stocked EXODUS - "Freedom for the skaters" (thanks Mr. Marley) has re-upped and received some fresh good stuff.

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!

How you doin'? Welcome back for another shredtastical rev of “Grind Some” news!

Before we get rolling, a compelling quote from an anonymous genius for all of you. So the quote goes “Does your nose run? Do your feet smell?If so, you're upside down.” Sorry, I saw that this week end and just gotta kick out of it.

Anyways, a lot of exciting things going on the haps from the home office in C-Bad. Be on the look out for a new flavor to our Ollie Pop menu we aim to have it up and running by end of summer.

It is all tricked out with the latest and greatest! Go read up and educate yourselves in the world of Pop! Find out news about the team, watch videos, and show your love! We will have the shop locator up soon, that way, at anytime you can find a Pop dealership near you! In the mean time, check out Ollie Pop at Raw Skin Surf Shop in Carlsbad, CA. The place is dope! So make sure you stop by and check out the shop and get yourself some Pop while your at it. Also, oh thank Heaven for 7-Eleven(s) like D-Street at PCH in Encinitas they got POP and the 7-Eleven on Oak St in Carlsbad! – both of them them and our good neighbors at West Mart off Cannon in C-bad!

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!

On a more Environmental Activist note, our very own Ryan Connors is being featured in a few different places for his great, environmental cause.

You can learn more about his cause at Freestyle.com. Go show him some love and help support his cause!
