Hey everyone, thanks for sending us your entries for the T Shirt Design Contest! The contest is now closed and we will begin sorting through all the designs to pick a winner. We had some really rad designs submitted so its going to be a tough call. Thanks again for the great response to this contest and keep checking back to our blog during the next few weeks to see who won.
Welcome to the first episode of “What’s That Smell” right here at the FUN Bakery. In the lazy dog days of Typical Mountain Town Springtime, a few friends and a camera can be the perfect ingredients for a refreshing recipe for FUN! Today, our good friends Floyd, The Reverend and photographer Chad Schmidt will be sharing with us one of their delicious recipes. Hi guys. Tell us what you have in store for us today. Floyd: Well, the ingredients came together pretty well, I think. The Rev: Yeah, the sun, the slush, the junkyard…It all came together for a nice heaping pile of fun. Chad: So, here’s how it happened…..Floyd and The Rev went out a few weeks ago and were eyeing up some old junk to hit. They built up this pole jam/jib that shot you up in the air to a nice flat landing. The problem was that the town workers were all over the scene like flies on…..potato salad. Floyd: Yeah, we were rolling this 500 pound tube up the hill when some workers came by. We hid behind this thing like 12 year old kids, trying not to breath too loud. Turns out, we got it built and decided to comeback on the weekend when the bust factor was low. The Rev: Mmm hmm…we also called up chad, who shoots some pretty rad photos and when we came back to get our session on, the snow had melted pretty bad and we had to piece together a run in about two footballfields long. It worked out in the end, though. Chad: Yep. Sure did. Floyd: My back hurts from all those flat landings, but it was a ton of fun for a late season session. The Rev: So, for all you shreds suffering from the “Man, I love skating but I’m a little bummed the season is over” BLUES, here are the ingredients you’ll need toget back on the fun track before all that snow is gone. (1) old gnarled piece of junk (preferably in season for best taste) (2) or (3) guys to switch on and off shredding and shooting (1 or 2) shovels or shoveling devices (snowboard tips work okay) (1) camera (video or still or painter to capture the fun in action) (1) sunny, slushy day (1) or even (1/2) of a hill to get speed on (snow isoptional - you can always patch together to get speed) and last but never least (1) good vibe and as many smiles as you can bring. Thanks guys. It’s smelling good in here already. I can wait to go and try this one myself. For all of you tuning in, this has been an episode of:

We are stoked to present the DRIP T SHIRT. This is our first product in our new ROOT COLLECTION. The ROOT COLLECTION is dedicated to using environmentally friendly and sustainable fabrics such as Bamboo or Organic Cotton.
For the DRIP T SHIRT we have chosen to go with Bamboo. This T Shirt is made from 70% Bamboo Fibre and 30% Cotton. It is a natural and environmentally sustainable fabric. Bamboo is grown pesticide free. A chemical free process distills the bamboo into cellulose fibre which is then manufactured to rigid ISO world standards. Bamboo has natural anti-bacterial properties and is extremely breathable. Bamboo T Shirts have a really nice soft feel to them. You should get stoked on Bamboo - We are!
