Karma Skateboards

OK I know this is supposed to be a news section which has been way out of date. We are in the middle of changing stuff on the site so it’s easier to update (cheers mat). So here is a bit of news from the last six months.

Adam Aulaqi had a sick pic in Document mag doing a no-comply FS wallride… kingy did yer proud. Jake Anderson got his 1st 540, well done mate (link).

We have some new decks out; Tubelight, Impression & Wavbe. Go buy one now… then grip and rip it.

Channon had a sequence in the contents page of Sidewlak mag - FS blunt f***ing sick one Channon. Photo by Ollie Whitehead / Sidewalk mag.

New Rider
Bristol local Owen Hopkins joins the karma team. Check out some of his footage here. He has been killing it of late, check the Road Gap BS Heel below.

Also watch out for owen’s guest part in the Harmonys big push edit!

Sidewalk mag should be out any day, look out for the Karma article about the trip to Bahrian, with riders Pete King, Joe Nobes, Adam Aulaqi, Channon Wallace with TM Adam Mondon. Here is a little bit of footage and Mondons words…

In April a few of the Karma Team were invited to Bahrain for a Festival promoting the Grand Prix. The riders that went were - Pete King, Adam Aulaqi, Joe Nobes & Channon Wallace.

Also on the trip were Sidewalk’s Andy Horsely and I-Five TM Adam Mondon on filming duties.
Bahrain Trip

We had five days to make the most of the trip that included skating at the festival and shooting an article for Sidewalk. The whole time we were there was blazing sunshine and most of that was above 30 degrees. It never went below 20 degrees, even in the night.

After our two or so days sting at the festival skating some dodgy home made ramps we set about doing the article. We had guides in the form of the local skateboarders in Bahrain.

They were stoked to have us over and made us feel very welcome, so hats off to them. For a place that we made up from alot of desert, there were a good selection of spots for us.

All the lads did there best and we got enough for an article as well as the web edit. The fruits of their labour will be shown in the August Sidewalk Mag.

Thanks to Sidewalk, I-Five and the skateboarders of Bahrain for everything.

I know its been a while on the update side but here goes… hopefully you all saw the document article from our trip down south coast with kingy. Tanner had a 1st light in sidewalk check out the sequence from his photo on his MySpace. John is also out skating hard for his part in savoir faire.

Channon had an omens in document. Pete King has recently been to Russia for a mad quick visit demo (words and pics up next week!). Meanwhile Kev has just been to san diego with the gippo army (kev that was some BBQ you had).

We have a new flow rider Troy Wilding from Milton Keynes - pics and footy up next week. For now check some on YouTube.

We have a new range of decks called the evolution in stock now, and out soon the new life balance decks. We also have karma wheels with new graphics. Check them both out in the product pages. Mick is working hard on the new range out soon (expect something totally different!).

John Tanner has just had his first Karma Ad in Document with a sick tre flip over a a secret rail.

Meanwhile kev has been a busy boy going to pretty much any event going and rock fakie-ing over vert bowls for a laugh. On our recent short trip with Document magazine Kev took some of the most cringe worthy slams and just got up and carried on - trooper!

A short edit from that trip will be up here any time now, so keep checking back.

Our flow rider Channon Wallace from Kendall has been shredding hard - watch out for some coverage in Document any time now.

Check out Aulaqi in the new Document teaching you all how to heel flip properly - the boy has a good one on him.

Pete has been shooting a profile for extreme TV so keep watching to find out what music Pete wants at his funeral and what his favourite invention is! Oh and there will be plenty of skating with that.
And finally….the Karma DVD teaser is on its way. Keep you posted on that one.
