au revoir Nacho




Its a little late for the update, but we have been busy...c'mon! Our beloved Nacho has left the Proskates nest and is now in the big smoke known as Toronto, hangin' with more Newfie skaters than are in Newfoundland itself. Enjoy a brief Nacho photo retrospective. Good luck buddy...reach for the stars!

No mo Collabos

Yeah I know collaborations have been the hot shit for a while, but when the dollar store is hip to the game it might be time to think of another term for co-branding products. Dropping collabos with every "you" that buys a juice from them?

More Frogskins

These things have been moving like wild fire. Better get those neon ones before someone cooler does. Wait? But you are the coolest, right? Well not if you don't have Oakley Frogskin sunglasses.

Sparrow/Megadestroyer

I was pretty nervous when my new Sparrow/Megadestroyer guitar showed up like this. A huge gash right beside the FRAGILE sticker.


Luckily it was fine, so I hooked up the Ken Diamond strap for a pose shot. I haven't splashed out on myself for awhile so I'm stoked on this new purchase, can't wait to fire it up and blow my eardrums.

We got some tees and hoodys in too, I'l post those up soon. Sick little brand out of the west, come check it out at Uptown.

Analog Trouble Hoody




See this? Do you remember the 2008 Burton 7? This is the matching Hoody from Analog. Jon and Trevor go way back, so obviously he is going to be the one to rock it. There is some serious Proskates repage going on here...proval patches?...ride a skateboard and Overlord stickers?? Shit is tight. Cop one and rep hard for yourself, Proskates, Nova Scotia, The Maritimes, or Atlantic Canada...whatever the hell you want. Just get this hoody.

RedBull/Nixon/Element/Nacho/ProSkates Game of SKATE

Not sure it's annual, but the first RBNENPSGoS went down on Thursday night after we closed.
What you're looking at right there, is a fist fulla fives. Well, it's more of a fan, in two hands, but you get the idea. Red Bull put up 500 billos for the winners.

Simon was a contender, but in the end was edged out. Pop shuvits, yeah, ok, but the others wouldn't allow these dance moves.

This guy was sent from the head office of RBNENPSGoS to "get some sick shots for the promotions department". Such a kook.

Here's Nacho trying to figure out prizes. "Ummmm...."

And the winner is, Nate Dog. I think he won a Nixon watch, Element deck, and $250.
