Post #SWAP6...Post

Another Swap Meet has come and gone, and we would like to thank everyone who came out and helped to make this the best one yet!

We witnessed some pretty amazing swaps go down, and it seems as though most people walked away happy with a bunch of new gear for the season ahead.

Also, a BIG 'thank you' goes out to all the sponsors, organizers and volunteers who helped make this event run smoothly and for spreading the stoke as only our community knows how.  

Here's a few photos from the event we are happy to share with you:

Oasis Orientation 2013

This past Thursday (Feb.14th), the Roarockit Skateboard Company hosted the new and returning students from the Oasis Skateboard Factory at our 131 Sunrise Ave. location for the first time.  We had a great time meeting the new students, and it is always a pleasure to share our history and work space with these creative individuals.  

Together, Oasis and Roarockit have some big plans for this years intake. We look forward to collaborating on some great events, custom 'Dream Board' builds, and most importantly - helping these students graduate...Stay tuned!!

Here are a few pics from their visit:

2012 Year In Review

We want to thank all of our schools, independent builders and fans of Roarockit Technology around the world, for the massive amount of stoke created by our shared passion for building skateboards! Our small team at Roarockit (and our extended Roarockit family) have worked really hard this past year to help bring the community some new innovation and quality to DIY board building.  

Looking back at this past year reminds us of all the new faces we've met, and the continued growth of our flagship programs.  We are proud of what we have accomplished, and are equally proud of what our customers have shared with us during the year as well.  

Here's a few highlights and examples of what have done together:

Setting up the new RockitLabs HQ was a HUGE task!

Marcel and Chris learned how to work together as a team... a well oiled/badass shipping duo!

Welcomed FooARage and Australian Skateboard Kits as regional distributors of Roarockit Tech.

This is just a small sample of the events and projects we have been a part of this year.  It's truly been a blast!

On behalf of the Roarockit Team, we hope that everyone has a safe and happy holidays... and don't worry, we still have some tricks up our sleeve for 2013!!
