What Happened to Foundry Skateboarding?

Seriously what happened? I know your asking ;)

Just kidding. Well FsB is still operational, but at the moment we are not going to focus on skating. We are going to work out some issues that we have as a brand and come back with a vengeance!

Thank you for everything. We will let you know when we plan to recoup ourselves.

Skateboarding Blues

Have you ever been skating and asked yourself... why am I doing this right now? Lately I've been really fed up with skating. It might be that the skate park is getting old, or it could be that I really need to learn something new. What ever it is it sucks massively.

I think that the worse thing about skating is that you can never do something for the first time again. You have to progress in order to get that feeling again. Its like an addiction it really pulls you through the crap when you can't get anything else down.

That being said. I have to ask, is winter getting on anyone else or is it just me?

Some Old School Video and Some New


Ok as you have probably figured out by now, I love documentaries. Here is an old British documentary about the Z boys. Its pretty awesome, kinda. Its about an hour long so if you wanna watch it, get yourself situated.

Check us out on facebook http://www.facebook.com/foundryskateboarding

For those of you that don't really want to spend an hour watching some old documentary I've got something here for you too. It's called Canvas. This is a modern documentary that lasts about 20 minutes, (there is more but I didn't want to post it) This Doc. is more about modern skating subculture. It's pretty cool, kind of talks about what non skate culture thinks about skate culture and how skaters reactions to that judgmental attitude has made the skate culture into the unstoppable tornado that it is today.




If you enjoy Foundry Skateboarding get a hold of me and order a deck. I made them inexpensive and most of the time they last for a month or two. Unless you throw them and snap them for fun.... why people do that I have no idea.
