That's right, Character Skateboards is off to Minnesota for the weekend. We'll be at Zombie Boardshop on Friday at 7pm for their video premiere. Then we will be downtown shooting for our upcoming Chicago Skateboarding video.
It's hard to believe that one year ago on June 6th, 2012 Ward Cramer past away. Ward was a lifetime best friend to myself and Character Skateboards family. Ward could pretty much skate whatever terrain he wanted. Anything from downhill to bowls, full-pipes, half-pipes, ditches, pools, street, stairs and even freestyle. You name it he could skate it. Skateboarding & music were a huge part of his life, he was dedicated.
Krush Skatepark closed its doors for good on Friday, May 31st. Here at Character Skateboards, we are extremely sad. Krush has been there for us in the coldest of Chicago days. Even kind enough for us to have product in their skateshop, and throw a few demo's along the way. Chicago Skateboarding will miss you so much..
Just in case Chicago Skateboarding didn't know, Shawn Turner just arrived back in Chicago from Zumiez Best Foot Forward 2013 Tour. He told us all his stories and how much fun he had skating around the country with Patrick Melcher, and a bunch of other notables. View his videos here
Corey Henderson, Character Skateboards very own filmer, switches roles at a recent demo and get's himself a tasty line. Presented by Chicago Skateboarding's finest, Character Skateboards.

We are extremely excited to announce that Eastern Skateboard Supply now carries Character Skateboards. We couldn't be more happy with this opportunity, and are thankful for the Chicago Skateboarding Community for making it happen. We wouldn't be anywhere without the local Chicago skate scene & skateshops supporting us over all these years...
