I Skate, You Skate, SAVANNAH SKATES! St. Patrick’s Day Parade Skate Sesh!

You read it right! Woody’s and our friends at SavannahSkates.com will be at the St.Patrick’s Day Parade and we need you to come on down and skate the Parade with us!

We will be skating the whole Parade route and no one will be able to say anything about it! We have a permit!

This is an “all hands on deck” call-out to the skate community in Savannah and surrounding areas… Tell your friends, tell your family and neighbors… All you have to do to skate the Parade with us is sign-up and show up!

WHEN?
This year’s Parade will take place on Wednesday, March 17th at 10:15 am.
If you plan to be on the Parade with us, you will have to show up for the parade line-up on or before 8 AM!
Latecomers may join our group as we skate down the Parade route… just make sure you have your skateboard handy!

WHY?
We are skating the Parade to promote this sport by showing the city that we are here! We want to give this community a face and let Savannah see that we are NOT and do NOT look like criminals. That our community is huge and this sport should be recognized as such…. oh, and to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day…

HOW?
For now, all you have to do is sign up! We will contact you with further information via email and updates to this site.
We will be making t-shirts for everyone that signs-up… so, make sure to get your size right on the registration form and  expect to spend a few bucks on it.

ANYTHING ELSE?
Yes indeed! As you may already know, our skatepark operates on a very small budget… So, if you or someone you know has experience raising funds (quickly) or would like to sponsor or help us with the costs of this gigantic undertaking, let us know. WE CAN USE ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET! Don’t be shy and email us at skate@woodys.skatethatshit.com

Enough talking! Now it is time for action!

>> SIGN-UP NOW!!

SHUT UP AND SKATE – Event Update!

Awesome turnout at our first big event this year! We had almost 50 people at the park this past Saturday and raised $612 bucks to finish our new/adopted ramp! A very big thanks to everyone that helped out!

Of note was the huge support we got from the Savannah Skates crew, Underground Clothing and the many parents/friends (old and new!) that helped make this event a real success.

Lastly, hats of to Boe for coming up with this event and his mom for a nice donation… We will be posting more pictures and videos of the day as they become available… Don’t forget to check the progress on the ramp!

Woody’s Time Lapse

I (Erik) set up my camera to take one picture every two seconds over the course of a few hours and assembled all the 2,500 pictures into a movie sort of time lapse of us skating one section of the park.  I hope you enjoy.

Cold and Crazy day at Woody’s!

Crazy skate goodness went down at Woody’s yesterday! Almost 40 people showed up at the park… not only that, but it was by far the coldest day in Savannah… Go figure!

It was so cold that our fridge felt warm! But it didn’t matter, we had a huge fire going, an endless supply of coffee, hot chocolate and hot dogs to boot.

Check back for some pics of the day…
