GRAVITY TOUR’S GIVE BACK BASH

Saturday, October 7, 2023 | 11:00am - 5:00pm | Sacramento, CA

Mather Skatepark | 3755 Schriever Ave, Mather, CA 95655

Bones Love Milk hosted its debut event in Northern California this year, with an incredible day in Sacramento for NorCal Gravity Tour's Give Back Bash at Mather SkatePark.  It was as if summer never left us, but the 95 degree day still couldn't stop the community from coming together and supporting our partners like PLA Skateboarding and Lines Skate Shop, sponsors, and of course the reason we do all of this: the kids.

Bones Love Milk was also excited to support the community in NorCal through its $5,000 donation to SkateMD: a non-profit organization that aims to heal hearts by spreading kindness and skateboarding to children with physical and developmental disabilities. They serve children who may not otherwise be able to pursue skateboarding, don't have easy access to skateboard equipment or facilities, and/or those who just need some extra kindness in their lives.

A GREAT DAY IN THE STOKE

Huntington Beach Pier | Pacific Coast Hwy & Main St, Huntington Beach, CA

We had so much fun at the largest gathering of Black surfers in history! In our goal to share the benefits of milk to promote healthy bones for athletes of action sports, we hosted games and gave away milk and merch on the beach. We definitely caught some major waves at the 2nd annual A Great Day in the Stoke!

“A Great Day in the Stoke is intended to inspire the Black community to feel welcome in the water and to experience and share the joy of surfing the waves safely as well as paying homage to veteran Black surfers who have been surfing since the 1950’s. A Great Day ini the Stoke welcomes all BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) communities and allies to surf in unity.”

September 1st - September 4th, 2023 | Malibu, CA

Skaters from all age groups got on the Bones Love Milk ramp during Labor Day weekend, from a small 3 year old girl who was a first-time natural, to a 65 year old woman who hadn't been on a board in 30 years and couldn't wait to try it again. The Bones Love Milk skate coaches were the true heroes of the weekend, they worked tirelessly to make sure every kid and adult who wanted to skate was able to, instilling confidence and determination to try something new.

The presence of most of the Bones Love Milk skate team in the 4th annual Johnny Strange Legacy Skate contest was so amazing to see! The skate competition was out of this world and had to be split into multiple heats due to so many people who registered. This was truly a magnetic experience, and the team was honored to be a part of this event and support the Boys & Girls Club.

Saturday, April 1st, 2023 | Fresno, CA

Bones Love Milk hosted the Give Back Bash in Fresno in April 2023 to bring milk, skating, and family-friendly fun to Lions Skatepark.

A $10,000 donation was granted to the Fresno non-profit, Skateboard Salvage, helping to build a new skatepark in Calwa and to provide gear for local under-resourced youth.

November 5th, 2022 | Encinitas, CA

Bones Love Milk hosted its own Vert competition event at the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA in Encinitas, CA. This event featured skateboard pros, legends and Bones Love Milk team members in the ultimate Vert competition, accompanied by food vendors, music, merch, activities and games for spectators to enjoy. With the help of pro team skaters including legendary Hall of Famer Christian Hosoi and Olympic athlete Bryce Wettstein, skaters of all levels will show their skills on the 14-foot vert ramp and recharge with the ultimate real protein drink, milk. Vendors will include Punk Rock and Paintbrushes, B Project, Uppercut Deluxe, Tech Deck, 91X, and more. Bands will include Urethane, Free Love Project, and Stalag 13. 

The Ecke YMCA is the perfect partner for Bones Love Milk, having built its first skatepark in 1999. The YMCA was one of the first in the state to amplify the growing sport by bringing Vert athletes from all over the state to Encinitas.  Top pros such as Tony Hawk, Bob Burnquist, Bucky Lasek, Andy MacDonald, Shaun White and many more all trained at the Ecke YMCA. Over the years, the YMCA has continued to change, from tearing down the Vert ramps that so many legends had trained on, to rebuilding a concrete skate park that is used to this day. Although the Vert ramp was gone, the YMCA Vert community did not waver. In 2021,  Bones Love Milk team member and Olympian, Bryce Wettstein, donated her Vert ramp, which she used to train for the Olympics, in a community gesture designed to bring skaters together once again. Bones Love Milk is happy to bring its full-sized Vert back to the YMCA and honor the Vert community in full force!

As a brand, Bones Love Milk has been close to the CA skate community, and have supported events, our riders, and recently were very proud to help bring the documentary film “Skate SD: Building Skateboarding’s Future” to life. To celebrate this achievement, we brought together skate legends and those who worked so hard on this important film together for a launch party.

If you’re a fan of skate, you were cheering for the sport’s inaugural representation in the world’s biggest sporting event - the Olympics. Our very own Bryce Wettstein was there - and we sent her off in style, with our limited edition Bones Love Milk olympic torch board that we collaborated with Stereo on! Then we cheered her on together at the Berrics as she shredded it all the way to the finals.
