First car post of the new year...

Most of you probably watched Travis Pastrana jump his Subaru on New Years Eve so sticking with that theme check out another crazy Ken Block Subaru vid. -SPK

Scoobies for Boobies

Our friend Sarah is walking in the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. Sarah is also into Subarus so her and her friends started a team for the walk. Scoobies for Boobies. I love both scoobies and boobies so I'll be donating to this great cause. If your interested in giving a few dollars click the link below for more info. She also has Scoobies for Boobies t-shirts for sale. They cost $15 all the money goes to the cancer society. You can get them here at the shop. Thanks -SPK

JB Vs. Armorlight

If you have been checking out the Worcester shop blog recently, you might have noticed the poll that we had on here for guessing how many decks EB Worcester team rider Jared Bratko would break in the month of May (NOTE: I think that it turned out to be like 7 or 8). JB is kind of a big dude, and always skates all out, so he ends up snapping decks quite a bit. (VIEW IT)

I kept on telling him to try out one of the Armorlight decks from Darkstar, that is reinforced with a layer of carbon composite material to make it stronger, but he wanted nothing to do with it... and of course he kept on snapping decks. Finally I gave a call to Ken from Darkstar, explained the situation, and he agreed to hook JB up with an Armorlight deck to try out & as a good test of the durability of these boards. JB was skeptical at first, but after the first few days of skating it, he was pretty impressed with how it was holding up. He said that it was able to withstand a few hard landings that he knew would have blown some other decks apart, and seemed to hold its' pop. All in all, he ended up getting like 2 or 3 weeks out of the board... far longer than he had been getting from most of the other ones he had been riding. A pretty good showing for the Armorlight!

Time for an up-grade?

So I tried to drive over a rock with my Subaru the other day...it didn't go over so well. I decided I need a burlier car. Rocks, curbs, or small farm animals shouldn't be a problem with this Subie -SPK

The Aqua-mobile.

The once reliable Aqua mobile recently bit the dust out in the parking lot, which ended up causing a rather unusual course of events (see blog posts regarding spikes windshield) including a nice thrashing before she was hauled off. Enjoy. -Jnix

Stafford Rally Cross Jan 26th-27th

I been entering this race for the past three years. The first year I got second to last place, last year I got fifth place ,and this year I got second place. So do I get to win next year? -SPK

2008 STI

Since there is a STI on the cover of this months Snowboarder I guess this is relevant information. Anyone who has been down to the Worcester shop knows that the parking lot on an average day could be mistaken for a Subaru dealership. So hear is a sneak peak at the new STI debuting at the 2007 Tokyo Auto Show on October 24. -SPK




If you want to check some video of Ken's jump here you go. One of NZ's funniest comps.. The Chop Washed Up Cup. To enter you have to be over 30 and Washed Up in the snowboard scene. Free beers, free BBQ and Ken Block and a Subaru WRX rally car jumping a 60ft'er doubles with DC pro Eddie Wall. Sounds like a party to me. -SPK
