Character Skateboards

	CONGRATULATIONS COREY! Corey Hendricks takes 3rd place in the 'es Game of Skate in Chesterfield, Mo. Hosted by Plan Nine Character Skateboard Celebrates it's 6th Anniversary!! Written by Soma Posted May 28th, 2008 Mom always told me the most important thing to have in this world is Character. It took me a long time to realize what she meant, until I was old enough to appreciate and value characteristics like integrity, honesty and hard work... Okay, blah, blah, blah, I know this ain't no sermon but that was a hell of a way to pull your self centered, social loathing, skate centric thoughts away from landing that next trick for a second. After all, you are on a skateboard magazine website, right? More than likely, only because you can't skate right now due to weather, school, work, injured, cashed out from an earlier session or you just suck and are lazy. Skaters are some of the most enigmatic yet charismatic people on this planet. Some are upstanding citizens with great characteristics and would never ollie in front of old ladies downtown while others are straight trash, gutter mouthed, un-bathed, bearded and dreaded bums...most a mix of both, none the less, they're all Characters in one way or another. Character Skateboards is a lot like the world of skating itself. A company built on the premise of honesty, integrity, hard work, strong boards and of course strong ass riders, but still real enough to get it's hands dirty every once in awhile. Next month Character makes 6 years old and is finally potty trained. Thanks to skater owned shops, supporters and fans, they continue to spread the word and the wood throughout the Midwest and East Coast communities. Riders include Kyle Terbush, Dan Little, Bill Wiora, Andy Patterson, Corey Hendricks, Mike Owen, Joseph Linzemann, Jackson Hennessey, Ward Cramer and owner Alan Butella. These guys are a lot of fun and some of the most creative skaters around. While you're surfing in your seat and checking stuff out, give www.myspace.com/characterskateboards a look, show em some love and blow em a birthday kiss!! please add a link to our character myspace site -SOMA Posted March 7th, 2008 The Mill Skatepark in Granite City, IL held a "Welcome Back Jam" for me, Corey Hendricks. First of all, big thanks goes out to everyone that helped sponsor the event. (Character Skateboards, Plan-Nine Skateshop, Adio Footwear, Promise Clothing, Antidote Skateboards, Sucka Free Crew, MATW Clothing, Shane from Earthly Delights, Skatemidwest. com, and Redbull) THANK YOU ALL! Anyway, the turnout was pretty awesome. I believe it was inbetween 110-120. The skating was super good, and so, the contests were full of shredders. It felt really good to be out there skating again with a bunch of my friends. So, thanks once again to all the sponsors and to everyone that showed up. p.s. Lee Larkins, I'm sorry you drove all that way to film and shred and then had your death lens broken off. I'm working on getting that info for you now. Thanks for supporting though, buddy. ntent

Mom always told me the most important thing to have in
this world is Character. It took me a long time to
realize what she meant, until I was old enough to
appreciate and value characteristics like integrity,
honesty and hard work...

Okay, blah, blah, blah, I know this ain't no sermon
but that was a hell of a way to pull your self
centered, social loathing, skate centric thoughts away
from landing that next trick for a second. After all,

than likely, only because you can't skate right now
due to weather, school, work, injured, cashed out from
an earlier session or you just suck and are lazy.

with great characteristics and would never ollie in
