A bunch of new product has been arriving, the weather is warming a little, and spring is almost here. We have got a bunch of pro wood in at the moment (Creature, Black Label, Santa Cruz, Krooked, Skate Mafia, Flip, Baker, Think, so on and so on). The hardgoods case is finally getting FAT again with new wheels from bones, and Spitfire, Trucks from INDY, and VENTURE. The latest news we're waiting on is when VANS is going to finally open us up and start shipping us shoes. The long wait is almost over, so what is another month gonna hurt right? Stay up and support the only shop that supports skateboarding in the flathead valley.

What up homies. As most of you have already heard I have sold Spirit to Clay Taylor. It was obviously hard for me to let go of the shop, but my life is headed in a different direction and so the decision was made. The important thing is that Spirit is still going to have a strong presence in the Montana skate scene, and as we all know it is the skate scene in the Flatehead Valley. Spirit was never a 1 man show. It was a combination of many talented people that came together and skated together, conspired together, created art, video productions, party's, demos, and so much more. I would like to personally thank the following people: Steve Sanchez, Chris Bacon, James Reeves, Justin Westermyer, Adam DeLorme, Matt Sadler, Jason Robinson, Wade Byrd, Sierra Fellers, Nich Kunz, Tyler Panza, Casey Bruff, Cale Brown, Cameran Barge, Logan Tripplete, Zach Doe, Conner Briney, Nico Hietert, Darrel Kolb, Jerimiah Martin, Chase Campell Jennifer Reese, JD from serious ju ju (for creating a safe/dry place for kids to skate in Kalispell)... I'll end with saying the new owner Clay Taylor is one of the most passionate people when it comes to skateboarding. His focus and desire to live his american dream in the form of running his own skate shop is only going to make the skate scene stronger in Kalispell. Not to mention he knows what's up, he's an OG from back in the day, and he's got Spirit. Love, Live, Skate, SPIRIT....

WHATS UP HEMMMIES. Alot has happened since this summer and hopefully you didnt miss out. Im working on my annual FALL EDIT of homies, so stay tuned for some footy real soon. HOPEFULLY everyone got to experience the Beauty and the Beast demo in Missoula earlier this summer. Having that many legends in one place at one time will most likely never happen again in Montana. Big ups to 52 SKATEPARK for keeping it real all summer long with reduced prices for you lil hood rats. I know it's hard to get to missoula for alot of you, so hit up the shop for carpools that will be leaving all winter long on a weekly basis. Come stop in and see us.

ATTENTION: THE HELMET LAW WILL REMAIN ENFORCED AT KALISPELL SKATEPARK... In an attempt to create more unity and internal fluidity, last October a Kalispell skate park committee was formed to help implement rules and regulations into the very dysfunctional Woodland Skateboard Facility... One of the biggest issues we faced was the HELMET LAW... A law that fewer than 25% of the skateboard population follows, and that the police inconsistently enforce... The committee thought changing the wording from REQUIRED, to STRONGLY RECOMMENDED would create a self governed environment that works in a high percentage of skateparks in the country... Not only would it help run the park more smoothly but would also lower police visits, citations, rebellion behavior, and negative community attention... The very actions that required an emergency community city council meeting last summer... So... What did the city council accomplish by shooting down all the hard work of committee in the last six months? Absoluty nothing, we are back at square one... We have a bunch of pissed of skaters, a city council that worries about probability, and a exhausted committee that has just wasted the last six months trying to make the city of Kalispell Less Liable, and the skaters more responsible... Little did they realize that the city is more liable if someone gets hurt while the helmet law is implemented with lack of supervision, than if they just strongly recommended it... IN SHORT, NOTHING WAS ACCOMPLISHED, ANOTHER SUMMER OF DEALING WITH PISSED OF KPD, PISSED OFF SKATERS, AND A CLUELESS LOCAL GOVERNMENT... CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!

With Spring brings new product, a new skate season, new events, and a bunch of stuff to look forward to... First, the Kalispell skate park is now dry thanks to a few hours of shoveling by a local crew of homies... Whitefish is still under a bit of snow, so if your feeling motivated and live up there, get to work... We have a grip of new product in the shop as of late... Pro Wood, Shop Wood, New Shop Denim and Tees, Trucks, and a good variety of KICKS... If you can't find a pair of shoes at SPIRIT (56 models in all right now) then you are a picky girl and should probably shop at malls... I know a lot of people are frustrated we don't have VANS. Yeah well so are we, and until VANS starts supporting shops that built there brand, there is not a-lot we can do except bitch about it... WORD
