Jeff Byrd update!

Since his knee injury during the session at Brook Run Skatepark, Jeff has been laying off the board. After talking to him yesterday though, he isn't far from ripping again. Some slight muscle weakness and a little tightness in the joint never keeps him away. He will be back in full action soon enough! Sometimes I wonder how he heals from these things. He is like the lost brother of Danny Way!

Shed Trip to Alabama!

Shed skateboards recently took a trip to Fort Payne, Al for a demo. The first stop was the new Brookrun Skatepark in Atlanta! We got into town friday night, and headed straight to the park (aw yeah!). Everyone was excited to skate some concrete and proceeded to tear it up, but in the end it tore Jeff Byrd up. A fall in the deep end of the pool forced him to hit his knee hard, and end his weekend! Saturday morning we hit the road in route to our destination, Alibi skateshop in Fort Payne, to meet up with the owner Johny and his crew. We got into town around 11 a.m. and check out his shop. Its a cool deal. He has a full-on print shop/skate shop with a mini-ramp upstairs! We warm up on that little gem for about an hour. Nicky Motto and Jeff Hall definitely held it down! And thanks to Byrd, we've got some footy to share. Time for the DEMO! The demo was at a town festival, that blocked off their entire main street. Johny did a great job organizing the building of the ramps and the lot where the demo was held. Thanks to all those who helped him! We appreciate you! Nicky skated really well, and the kids enjoyed his seeing him! Jeff Hall entertained the crowd with his freestyle stuff. After the demo, we hung with Johny for a bit back at the shop, before heading to the Ghetto Banks in Birmingham. JEFF HALL DESTROYED THIS PLACE, hands down! We can’t wait for all of you to see this footy! Next stop was the ever famous, crooked double set. Shed prospect David Gladkowski got a couple of tricks down the set, before snapping his board on a 360 flip, which he would have ridden away from if it didn't fold on him. We headed back to Atlanta for the night, with the Georgia game on the radio (you know it!). We woke up the next morning and decided the spot, Emory. Nicky, Hall, and David all get lines!! At this point, we were all done and it was time to go HOME! Shed would like to thank Johny at Alibi Skateshop for the good time. We hope to see his crew again, at the next festival and demo. HOLLA!!!

New Teamboards!
