Working it. Just some interested fans...

Wednesday morning we drove through Oregon into Washington where we stopped off to visit out friends at Mervin Manufacturing. This was a nice treat to see Jeannine James and Trevor Phillips. They gave us the grand tour of Mervin, which was a nice treat for Freddy and I since we’ve never been there before. It was really cool to see how they make all their tooling as well as all their boards. I guess we can call ourselves lucky since not too many people get a chance to see a little bit of Snowboarding culture. Anyways, after our little tour we decided to go skate the Ballard bowl.

This was one of Freddy’s favorite boards. Love at first sight.

We hooked up with the Mervin crew that night for their annual premiere of Standard films at the Premiere club in Seattle. It was an all age show so it made it easy for Freddy and Eric to attend. After E-Jack and Freddy got busy in the van with some fans, we charged up to Vancouver and luckily made it through the boarder without any hassles. Check back soon for more updates!Peace for now…West-sy-eeed!

Here are some of the OG board graphics and paintings.

The great wall of Mervin’s history. Some classic boards were posted on this wall.
