other incentives - and china banks

Hi everyone - 15 hours til the funding drive edition of the Derby! Kat and I are meeting this evening to align our ducks and tally up all the extra goodies we've gathered to encourage you to pledge.

There are a couple of recent developments (since the last post) that I'd like to share:
  • Our good friends at the Bike Root have donated a sweet, previously owned and lovingly restored bicycle, that they'd like us to add to our other "grand prizes" (see below). So for the second year in a row the Derby will be giving away a bike! Awesome? You bet it's friggin awesome!
  • I just got back from a visit with my pal Zev, who among other things works as the distributor for C1RCA shoes and stuff. Zev donated an awesome plaid jacket (in my part of the world we'd call it a "Zealand Tux" or a "Miramichi Dinner Jacket"), and a very rare print of a David Broach photgraph of one of the most iconic spots in skateboarding history - the China Banks. Here's Jake Phelps to break it down:




and here's some other hijinx:
