NEWPORT SKATEPARK FUNDRAISER

This saturday, if you re anywhere near Cincinnati, you should come out to our fundraiser for the Newport Skatepark..We teamed up with our woodshop (Generator Distribution), Galaxie Skateshop, The Southgate House Revival, the city of Newport, 10 Great local bands, and thirty local Artists to throw a fundraiser to get the ball rolling on Construction of the New Newport Skatepark. Along with sets by ten of the areas best bands, there will also be a silent auction of 30 hand painted cruiser decks. All for 12 dollars which 100 percent of goes to towards construction. This area has supported Instrument since we started, and we re proud to be spear heading the greater Cincinnati skateboard movement. Come out, have a drink, listen to some great music, and bid on a one of a kind cruiser deck you can hang, rip or do whatever you want with. Things happen when evryone chips in...See you Saturday.

JORDAN WEST RESTART

With all the different cameras being used these days its hard to match em all up.. Seems like they all look a lil different. Either way, Jordan wanted to start over using one camera so we get a li taste of what he's been up to lately. Dont worry he'll still have a full part in Instrument video this year but until then you get this. Now go skateboarding!
