Randozzi Tee Shirts and Jerry Fowler Hopps boards

[Al Bania]

Sorry to spam with ads, but I think some of yall might be stoked to know that we just launched the online shop for Orchard skateshop in Boston.

http://www.orchardshop.com/store/
 
We tried to fill the void of finding stuff from some smaller or hard to find companies online.  And we've got a bunch of new shop tee shirts - Randozzi did a shirt with us, and the Lowcard collaboration is pretty fucking radical. 

Orchard rider Jerry Fowler is back in business and has a pro board out with Hopps!  There should be some rad new footage and an interview floating around the interweb in the next week or two, and a part in the Orchard video this september.  The dude has never stopped skating on a professional level, and I'm stoked that he has a board again.

EDIT:  I forgot to mention that all slap pals get a 10% discount! 
just type SLAPPAL in the coupon/promotion box when you checkout!


here's a little blog/blurb/intro of what the shop is all about:

As a 100% skateboarder owned and operated shop we have always taken pride in giving an authentic and personal experience for anyone that comes into the Orchard. We treat all of our customers as family, and recognize that these people choose to support us because of these values.
As the family grows all over the globe, we have made ourselves available to all those that share these ideals of supporting something you believe in.

We have tried to recreate a unique, personal shopping experience in the anonymous, impersonal mega-mall of online shopping. We try to give as many details about the product, and explain why we choose to support the companies that we do.

If there is something special that you are looking for, give us a call and we can ship anything straight from the shop.

Jerry Folwer comeback isnt skate talk enough?

[Randozzi]

stoked on his come back but it is more "classifieds" related.

looking forward to seeing new footage. is he still working as an EMT?

i'll put it back in Useless and if people have a problem with it i can move it back.

i was gonna put it in classifieds at first, but I appreciate you moving it back here.

yeah jerry's finishing up school and working at the hospital, but he's still been out skating a bunch. 
never lost that signature style, too.

Nope, not stoked at all.

It sucks that a great skater like Jerry Fowler has to ride for a piece of shit wannabe Zoo York/5boro company like "Hopps". I can't support any idiot that thinks these are worth $100:

worst shit I've heard all day...I'm sure if hopps wasn't around jerry would have no interest in riding for any board company....and comparing hopps to zoo york? I can see the 5 boro comparison, even though its funny you think hopps is biting their style, but comparing hopps to the element of the east coast is just so bad...

"Element of the East Coast"? You don't know shit about pre-Echo Zoo York, what it was about, or what it represented. Fuck "Hopps".

[Gest]

biggums lives in ny and is older than you, so how would you know?

anyways, id be psyched as all hell to see a new jerry part, seriously. id freak out over that shit, i know for certain dude still has that sick original style he always had, he had a trick in one of those boston youtube edits that are rad as heck. i watched toy machine live today actually, he was way too ahead then, i bet he could do the same now

the element of the east coast is a way closer comparison than saying Hopps is a wannabe Zoo or 5Boro.  Or even comparing 5Boro to Zoo is a far stretch.

And those $100 jeans are a bit expensive for most skate rats, but they are of a different quality than those $15 american eagle jeans you get from the clearance rack at TJ Maxx.
I couldnt afford them myself, but I do know and appreciate the difference in quality between Selvage denim and most other jeans.  And then, even $100 for selvage denim is on the cheaper scale for that quality.

That Randozzi guy is a creep and Jerry has one of the best styles ever.

[kamltoe]

sick. i'm into the fowler board and hopps in general is just rad. i'll support.

Missed the Elwood thing, I'm from Worcester.

Those Hopps jeans are sick, I'm down to support Jahmal and Gall. Those jeans could easily be priced at $175 if they were from a fashion type of brand.
