Boards for Bros 2010: Distributing the Boards

After the assembly line put together over 200 skateboards last week, we piled them into Clem's truck and headed over to St. Pete to give them out. Colin Clark filmed and I shot photos. Thanks to everyone that contributed to Boards for Bros during the year that made this all possible. I hope every one of these kids experiences the same things that skateboarding has done to all of us. Merry Christmas.
We started with a truckload of about 200 boards. It's amazing how this all came together from collecting used parts all year. We also got plenty of help from art shows that benefit Boards for Bros and our annual Free Day.
The SPoT Ghetto Christmas Party is over so I'm not sure why Schaefer still has his tech head going, but we did run into a kid who matched him.
There were about three people on this street corner when we pulled up. Five minutes later, this is the crowd.
Like "The People of Wal Mart," someone should start a blog called "Whips of the Hood." You always see the most amazing things. I missed this dude laying down on the dropped down bed gate while they were driving down the street.
I wish we could find him in a decade to see what happens. Is he going to fall in love and change his life like us? I hope.
Our last stop was Fossil. Merry Christmas, everyone. If you contributed to Boards for Bros in any way over the years, we can't thank you enough. Get more information on how to contribute at BoardsForBros.com.
