Just in case you missed the Grand Opening festivities then you missed your chance to get on The Berrics.
Thanks to Jeff Pang and DC Shoes, Duarte from The Berrics was able to fly out and cover the Grand Opening as a follow up to the original Homebase Field Ops.
He’s going to be so bummed I [...]

the power of the berrics= free chocolate

I don’t think anyone can really question how HUGE of a website The Berrics is.
Remember the Pepsi Refresh Project and all those people from all over the world that heard about the Bethlehem Skateplaza from our Field Ops? We had supporters from Germany, Australia, from skaters like Steve Berra, Eric Koston, Kerry Getz and so [...]

Thanks for not dressing in Ed Hardy, thanks for not abandoning my brothers and sisters for C-List celebrity fame.

the whole story: manny mania & homebase’s 8th anniversary benefit party

If a picture is worth a thousand words then you’re really going to get the gist of what you may have missed if you went to the Jersey Shore on Memorial Day Weekend after watching this video of the Red Bull Manny Mania contest and our 8th Anniversary celebration.
We hadn’t thrown a big anniversary celebration [...]
playing catch up: mayfair 2010

Now that our 8th Anniversary party is done ( yes, I’m sad too) I can turn my attention to some other events that also happened this past weekend- Mayfair for example. . .

I don’t think we could have asked for a better way to celebrate Homebase’s 8th Year Anniversary: Good weather, good friends and supporting a good cause- The Bethlehem Skateplaza.
manny mania starts in under 12 hours.

No, I don’t suffer from insomnia.
I did try and go to bed early tonight to get ready for tomorrow but
why yes, we are having an 8th anniversary sale this weekend.

And just in case you don’t know what’s going on this weekend yet. . . keep reading.

Save your dollars and help benefit the Bethlehem Skateplaza and yourself at both of our anniversary events [...]
