WI. That’s the only place in town that carries Ollie Pop
and custom boards!”
Look for Wil Waldon tossing out pouches of Ollie Pop at demos across the country and check out his blog at www.wilwaldon.com. for a limited time, when you buy one of his boards, you get a free pouch of Ollie Pop!
Ollie Pop is all about supporting skating and is stoked to announce that the Mentality Team is on board. These guys rip. Just check out mentalityskateboards.com and see for yourself. Look for their stickers in the next run!
Check out the team page for some new skaters. Without these guys we would be nothing.

Ollie Pop is stoked to announce some new team members added to the line up! Dave Nelson and Anthony Johnson. Both new Ollie Pop Team Skaters will be traveling around promoting Ollie Pop while busting out sick moves on theirs skates. Look for them near you.
Also, Pro skater Doug Brown has been out there promoting like no other. Ollie Pop gets more emails about him than any other team member. Doug has been skating for about twenty years and has an original style. He is constantly doing demo's and spreading the word all across the country. He definitely brings a positive aspect to skateboarding and Ollie Pop is glad he is on. Check out www.dougbrownskate.com for more info on Doug.
Next, Ollie Pop has long known about the pool legend, Buddy Carr and decided it was time to ask him to ride for us. Buddy has been in the industry and a hardcore skater since the early 80's. His pro model is selling like crazy and his new web store www.tailtap.com is growing just as fast. Buddy has been the General Manager over at Climax for years, which houses companies like Tracker, Orion, Rockit and Torch.
Kevin Staab has ridden for Ollie Pop for some time and it recently came to our attention that we never added him to the site, even though he was the inspiration for one of our characters, Syd on sour apple! Kevin is one of the coolest people in skateboarding and has long been respected by the industry. Kevin is out there skating contests and demos all over the world all of the time. His model on punk rock skateboards is doing great.
Ollie Pop would also like to apologize to Taylor Smith. Somehow he was removed from the team list on the site. Taylor is one of the most ripping kids out there. next time you are at a park in San Diego and see a little guy doing airs higher than some pros, you've found Taylor!
Noteworthy: Spencer Lau has been ripping. It seems he doesn't like to lose, so he doesn't! In the last few months, Ollie Pop is stoked that Spencer has had many first place finishes and one second. Look out for this guy, he will be the man for a while! Check out the team page for his profile. Ollie Pop wants to thank everyone out there that supports us and the positive side of skateboarding.
