RE-PRINTS & NEW COLORWAYS!

FINALLY…
You asked for them, you waited for them, we finally made them:

To celebrate springtime, please discover these very limited re-editions of some of our most desired graphics.
These particular pieces are fresh, brand new colorways, and we hope they will motivate our beloved sun to come out more often.

More good news with our very own line of wallets, now available in 3 new color combinations (now this alone should brighten up your day, don’t you think?).

Check it all out by clicking here, and remember, we are open 24/7, so don’t be a stranger!

hat test drive

jak — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 13:50:08 +0000

Just got a couple of shots from our own testing grounds in Siberia, on the shores of lake Baikal. There we submit each hat model to extensive tests, on and off snow, with and without penguins.

The powturn is part of the on snow program, and a very important one I’m sure you all agree.

Notice the photos come with a bonus: not only do you get to see our chief hat-magician himself perform one of his signature tests, you also get a glimpse of the brand new Circle boards released by …the Circle.

So if you happen to be close to Whistler, pay them a visit and get your hands on both hOme hats and Circle boards before it’s too late!

cheers

ahem

…of course as soon as we post something about spring you can expect winter to make a come back! At least you’ll be freezing your ass off with a smile this time!

cheers to that

reprint anyone?

Love it or hate it, but these days you don’t need a calendar to feel that dear old spring is not far away.

To celebrate the soft landings and late afternoon, sunset-lit sessions, we’ll be bringing back some of your favourite tees and a couple other items.

Here’s a hint, keep your eyes open.

Merry Santa and Happy New Reindeers!

Here are a couple of photos from this year’s Christmas Sale. Thanks to everyone who came, it’s always a pleasure to get to see you all. Thanks to all the ones who came to help over the week-end, you know we really appreciate it. May all of you have a sweet Rutsch into 2010. See you next year!

Oh Tannenbaum

1| CHRISTMAS MARKET
December 12-13, 14h-20h00
Café de l’Ancienne Gare à Fribourg, “expo” wing

With fond memories of last year’s first edition, we are happy to come back this year in good company: RONDECHUTE, LOWRIDER, MAI STYLE, MARIE GUYOT, GRAPHEIN, FERNANDO, VALENTINE MATTER, SAÏKO et PAN. Come on over to discover new brands and check out our complete new collection in a calm and cozy atmosphere!

2| THE LAST X-MAS SALE

December 18, 16h-19h / December 19, 9h30-16h
3B Skatepark, rte des Arsenaux 12, 1700 Fribourg

As with old friends, introductions are not necessary: That much choice at these prices, the X-Mas Sale remains, for a couple of hours a year, the best bargain destination in town. GOODIES ONLINE will be our special guest this year, along with regulars LOWRIDER & SAPIENT Snowboards.

We say “last” on the poster because the 3B skatepark will have to close down in September 2010 - when the building is going to be taken down. No one knows what will happen next, but it won’t keep us from greeting you with a cup of tea, a slice of cake and a smile!

Finally, if you feel like having those details in a bilingual format, you can improve your french/english skills by reading it all again in our latest newsletter.

See you there and then!

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SKATEPARK

jak — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 10:37:33 +0000

You don’t know it yet, but the clock is ticking for our dear 3B skatepark.

As usual, it was built inside an almost deserted warehouse and now the whole neighbourhood is being rebuilt, which means that the whole thing will be torn down come september next year.

The whole crew behind the park is now looking for a place to move and rebuild the setup so we all have a place to skate when the town is rainy-cold-or-covered-in-snow.

Any kind of help is welcome of course, so in an effort to draw as much attention as possible to the issue, they’re organising a contest at the park. Some of you already know the location, it’s where our annual X-Mas Sale has been held over the last few years.

If you skate, enter the contest and have a go at winning some of the prizes hOme, Lowrider, Enjoi, Element and DVS have provided. If you don’t skate, come and have a look, there’s a Game of skate and a Best trick, so crazy tricks will be on the menu.

…and if you happen to be the owner of a 2000 square meter warehouse… email Public Domain!

Cheers

Love it when someone sends photos of their trip away from hOme where they managed to bring a bit of us with them, makes us feel like we are part of the experience!

This time Corinne and Jan turned their newly acquired van into their down under hOme.

Cheers to that, have a great trip.
