Salih's StairJam 2010 - PawnShop Mobile

Salih is getting older, wiser and definitely better all before our eyes. On his 12th birthday he held a stair party contest at the HQ to the tune of some 60+ entrants and spectators. Beckley,Huntington,Parkersburg, and Charleston once again represented and came to hold it down at the HQ. Zack Debrular to no suprise took the crown, Jake Washburn 2nd, and Chris Leadingham in 3rd. A lot went down on the stairs that day. Archie, Adam, Brennan, Blair and Booth ripped it up. Take a look at the clip below shot by Zack from Crab Orchard,WV.


We be rollin. In a 1981 Ice cream style p30 step van. That's right PawnShop is going mobile with our own shop on wheels. We will be taking this beast on the road with us on demos, cigarette, beer runs, picking up Trace from prom etc. We will be stocking it with PawnShop merch (decks,shirts,hats) along with some extras and coming to a park in a town near you! We havent had the logo put on the side yet but here's an idea of what it will look like in a month or so.

That new steeze!

As some of you may already know, the pawnshop is making a comeback. New boards, new ramps, additions to old ramps, new shirts, sick events, trips, and much more are on the way. We at the headquarters are planning big things, and hopefully, putting Charleston skating back the way it should be: Bros, boards, good times. That's it. I'm going to be keeping this updated from now on with the daily happenings of the park as well as other goodness which you are going to want to check out often.

I want to make the headquarters a destination for all the homies in WV and beyond to get together, forget the bullshit, and put Charleston on the map. I'll be at the park often filming the happenings and posting clips of the day to day life so make sure you get to the park to be down with what's going on. Go ahead and bookmark this blog now. I am currently capturing footage like a robot so be expecting footy within the next week. Other than that I just want to take the time to shout out two people who are helping keep the pawnshop alive: Cary and Brian. Cary has been working diligently for weeks keeping shit lined up, clean, and making renovations on the ramps. Today he did a lot of work resurfacing the mini ramp, which I think we all know needed some work. Brian has been staying motivated working on getting boards in, designs made, and other company duties. You should give these people the respect they deserve and thank them for all that they are doing for the scene that you take for granted.

Skateboarders, get involved! Send me all footage, photos, and other to be included in the blog or clips that I create. My email is ryan@ryanmckowen.com. Send me a shout and I will be glad to get back to you. I'm tired as hell so I will keep this short and sweet and leave you with a few photos of the day.


A trooper workin on that ramp. A hardass with a heart of gold. I once saw him rescue a possum taken from his mother. True story.
Salih was poppin and lockin on some Darryl's dance groove type shit today.


Big things to come!
