bitter sweet bitter cold showdown

The 2008 Bitter Cold Showdown was an amazing event. There were several hundred skaters from all over the United States at the event shredding it up at the skatepark. We met some amazing people all day that came to visit us at the Rat Tail booth. Thanks to all the kids who came out to support us and bought product at our booth.
The whole event was success for us until right before the finals, when we realized someone had stolen two boxes from the Rat Tail booth that included Nimh Skates, 4×4 wheels, vicious bearings and t-shirts. Brian Shima had to skate the finals knowing in his head that someone in out tight knit community had just stolen from him. If you have any information about this incident, please contact usĀ here.
