2-13-06 A blizzard??? Well that sets us back a few days. Special thanks to all the team members who got involved in planning
the summer tour last week. If you have not checked it out yet we still have the Subscription listed on the home page....decks
for a year...for any months that have passed we'll just send you the extra decks in your first package. So what's new in
the Army you ask?.....We are getting ready to award the highest ranking members with a box each for their participation.
How'd they do it you ask....They earned it by getting new members to join, buying decks for their friends through their email
and taking credit for it....and doing the other missions. SIMPLE Congratulations everyone!
1-29-06 January came and went. The winter is cruising along and soon we'll be skating in t-shirts again. A very specail
new guest pro model is available in the PX.....If you don't know who Nolan is then you'll be stoked to know he reps worship.
He rides vert for us and can be seen riding at Red Bull demos and at Burnquists backyard ramp. Check his team profile for
more info. We now have skatepark size stickers in...if you need one for your park send jeff an email and let him know. The
black sweatshirts are almost gone so get yours quick! The revolution decks are painted and being scanned this week for production.
Look for them around March 2006. What's going on in your area? Drop us a line. Congratulations to all the army members
who got their FREE deck. Good work!
12-08-05 The Holiday season....man we're busy. As you might have seen there is a special item in the army store for a
short time. The Ideal Skate Shop had a premiere of their video featuring the skating of Chris Marciniak, Bobby Stevenson
and Jay Long as well as cameos by other Norwich skaters. The shop team will actually have a limited run of guest pro models
which will be available through the army store here online or at the actual store in Norwich, CT for a very limited time.
In other news team rider Jordan Maxham has just gotten accepted into this seasons Tampa Am contest. Good luck Jordan! Matteo
Forgione has his second pro model out now which features some Revolt inspired graphics. The new black sweatshirts are a hit
all over the country and are running out steadily. Congratulations to E-3 Scott Turchin for moving up the ranks. Job well
done! Everyone here at Worship Headquarters wishes you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
11-16-05 Worship Army Memo....Those of you stoked to be down should send an email to Jeff b and let him know what's up.
Some members are not keeping in touch or getting anything accomplished. For those of you who kick ass we salute you. please
keep up the good work. Email jeff with an update at the link below to let him know what you are up to. thanks.

10-28-05 Halloween is quickly approaching so get ready. We like to hold an annual Costume contest here at Worship. Send
us a picture of you in your costume and we'll pick the best dressed Army Member and mail them a Free T-shirt. In other cool
news there is a strange offer on the front page of this site....it's a christmas skateboard subscription. Spread the word
and let people know about it. Matteo has reported that the video is going well, but he is swamped with work and school projects.
The cold weather means Sweatshirts and we have a ton of new one's coming in this week. So keep an eye on the Army Store
(PX) for discounts on the latest cold weather gear. Don't forget...if you get someone to join the army you need to email
their name to us so we can give you credit. Do the missions and get the free stuff. peace
10-6-05 Well if you didn't get your limited edition Sticker pack yet....don't wait any longer. There are only small box
of them left. October is here and we're kickin off Sk8-toberfest at the Ideal skateshop in Norwich, CT. In case you didn't
know, this shop is the only factory store for Worship, Revolt, and 116 clothing. If you happen to be passing through the
casino area of CT then stop on by. The sale at the shop is for the entire month so you have time. We'd like to welcome new
member Michael Makowiecki to the squad! The new line of clothes for the season is about to drop and is quite cool. We are
almost out of the celebrated long sleeve Ferrel T. I saw Pete Ferrel out in Iowa the other day. He's doing great. The tattoo
shop is killing it and the new graphics which are out now prove it. Tell a friend. Happy Halloween!
9-1-05 Back to school.....Back to the drawing board. Think of it as a time to learn some new tricks both on and off of
the skateboard. Also back to school is a great way to finish a mission and get yourself a free deck. Here's what's new.....We
have been very busy keeping up with all of the growth that comes with Woodward exposure. Orders are coming in from all over
the country and the Army continues to grow weekly. The warehouse has been abuzz lately over a pretty sick new Guest Pro Model....who
will it be??? Think big airs and 5 feet tall. The new sticker packs are in and available in the PX. We started producing
some skate park size stickers for all of your backyard ramp and park needs. They'll be up soon enough. Wondering about the
video?......Matteo has begun some rough editting of the new opening montage and things are looking sweet. Belated Happy
Birthday goes out to the one and only Nick Vranos! He was our first Worship Army member and is now a part of our Flow Team.
In other birthdaynews... Worship Turns 2 years old!!!
7-29-05 Greetings to one and all. The Boston Fundraiser Deck is officially a hit! The gentlemen in charge of the 2 million
dollar skate park initiative in Beantown are stoked on your companies participation and active involvement for this cause.
As you can see the flow team is growing week by week do to our Team Managers summer outpost at Woodward skate camp. The
finest have been selected and offered an opportunity to shine. In the next few months we will be thinning the herd and bumping
a few people up to the A team. This will ensure that the video is sicker than ever. Be sure to check out the Latest from
Revolt wheels over at their site. Our own Rich Stewart aka Patches has seen fit to adorn his knuckles with his lifes motto.
Look for a dope new part coming your way from this Worship team veteran. Get your summer t-shirt pack in the army store
at your members discounted price before they are all gone. Enjoy the heat!
7-9-05 Here's a great story from one of our favorite customers....."hey, I just want to thank you for always hooking
it up with tons of stickers whenever you send me a new deck. Especially because this time your sticker saved me hundreds of
dollars and lots of time...I was hiking a 17 mile ridge in the middle of NH, and about 10 miles in my wallet fell out of my
pack. I tore apart my house looking for it, but I couldnt find it....then some guy calls me, telling me that he found my
wallet in the woods. I got it back from him with everything intact, BUT he said that if it wasnt for the white worship skateboards
sticker on my wallet, he wouldnt of seen it lying next to the tree....and I prolly dont have to tell you what important things
I keep in my wallet, and what a pain it is to loose those items....well just wanted to share that story with you, and say
thanks for the stickers and for trying to give back to the sport so much."
Greg Troutman
6-18-05 Ahhh...the wonderful world of Woodward! Worship is in full force once again at the world's largest skate camp.
Each week we donate tons of skateboards. If you happen to win a contest at camp during your stay you win one of our decks.
We like to help support up and comers like you by supporting the woodward contests. In other news... Matteo is killing
it...he just learned B/S Indy 360's on the 13ft vert ramp the other day. We have some new cool white t-shirts available to
army members only in the PX. Our flow team is growing do to the amount of videos we've received and our scouts at Woodward.
Sadly we have had to part ways with some of our pros in order to make room for the new Team riders...who are they you ask.....?
A teaser is going to be available shortly that will answer all of your questions. The new Gary Jacob's artist series decks
are here so be the first to have one in your area. Let's see some summertime action .... Send in some photos for the army
member gallery section......Sell some decks, get some people to join the army and finish some missions so you can move up....and
most importantly, get some free stuff.
5-16-05 The summer is almost here! The tour is about to begin and we are looking forward to seeing all of you as we make
our way along the East coast. In case you haven't heard The Ideal skate shop is up and running. The Polynesian theme is
relaxing and the arcade gallery in the back is a total hit for the VIP's. Check out the store link and feel free to order
whatever you need ..as Worship Army Members the shipping is always free. So get yours! The Jacobs series decks are ordered
and should arrive subsequently. Be sure to go to the link section and check out Gary Jacob's page...It's insane. Also the
Boston skate park fundraiser deck will be available shortly. As it turns out DVS shoe Co. is producing a limited edition
shoe to benefit the skate park as well. So look for both Worship and DVS in upcoming Transworld articles about the skate
park. Have you visited The Ideal Skate Shop? Check it out on the Main Army Page. Over and out.
4-20-05 In case you haven't heard Worship is featured on www.Volcom.com thanks to the good folks over at company headquarters.
They were stoked on the St. Stamnes series so much that they offered to help us promote it by putting it on their site.
INSANE! Our East coast tour is in the works and will no doubt be coming to a town near you fairly soon. The Ideal skate
shop is open for business! It features everything Worship with all the reasonable prices you have come to expect. The shop
deck will be available to Army Members through the PX for those looking for something unique. Otherwise come down and pick
one up yourself in person. New graphicsc are on the way and so are the limited edition golf balls. Get'em before there gone.
There is also a rumor going around about another upstart company called Revolt wheels which is slated to release its Premiere
wheel sometime before the summer. The urethane is top shelf and so are the t-shirts . Get yours at Revoltwheels.com today.
In case you were not aware today is the birthday of none other than Adolf Hitler. In world news there is a newly elected
pope who happens to be German. Draw your own conclusions please. Get out there and skate...the tour is on its way.....a
special Happy New year to all of our Hippie friends. Look out for Mayflowers.

3-17-05 Alright green beer for everyone! Except all of you under the legal age.... What's new in the world of Worship Skateboards
you ask...Well for one... The boys at PITCREW have stocked a few decks and are blowing up the the fair state of Maryland.
The "Ideal skate shop" is opening in April and looks awesome...Bamboo..tikis and old school arcade games are the
decor and the prices are the way they should be.....realistic. Decks are the same as on the site except that we are going
to have a shop deck for a little less. We will offer it to army members looking for something special in the PX only. We'd
like to welcome new army members E-2 Zach Hamilton and E-2 Tim Rummo. Welcome aboard! A video section is going up soon to
tease everyone with bits of the New Worship Video. We are still working very hard to make the best video we can. But a teaser
video should keep everyone drooling for a bit. Actually I think I'll drop a riders 1st edit full part for fun. Let's get
to work. The sun is out and cement is dry. Spread the word and get people to buy the decks online. Don't forget to email
your name and theirs to us once they have completed the purchase so we can give you credit. Or get people to join and send
their names in to complete the 2nd mission. Order sticker packs for all of the latest stickers. Spring is in the air.
3-5-05 It appears that winter won't go away?! Just in time for the thaw..is the new Xenophobia issue jam packed with worship.
From a product review, an interview with Matteo to a back cover ad. Every deck wil come with a free issue as a bonus until
they're gone. Don't miss out! The sweatshirt sale has been lengthened until March 31st. So save some money and grab one
for the low price of $38.00 with free shipping. The new St. Stamnes decks are here and everyone is stoked on the graphics.
Matteo Is about to drop the long awaited Revolt wheel Co. The wheels and apparel should be available by Cinco de Mayo.
So mark your calender. A new skate shop is opening in Norwich, Connecticut called "the Ideal skate shop" and will
feature worship decks and clothing, not to mention some vintage arcade games as well. Skate or die......
2-14-05 Spring is almost here...Thank god! We've been hard at work getting ready for the season. There are tons of new
graphics for both decks and t-shirts. The Artist Series is a project that we are extremely proud of as it showcases the best
and brightest. There is a cool review on Worship at www.harvestboards.com and a new link for us on the Boston skatepark website.
The newest Xenophobia is almost ready and will be included for free with all decks purchased in the month of March. A spring
and summer tour is in the works.... so be on the look out for Worship in a town near you. PITCREW has recently picked up
decks in the state of Maryland and with any luck we will be taking over that area as well. Thanks for repping Worship. Send
us an email with your thoughts and comments to :
1-16-05 Oh Shizzle! The west coast is blowin up! Your company has just gotten some major west coast recognition. Volcom
will be displaying the latest Scott Stamnes series decks in their stores as art. Not to mention the west coast orders are
coming in for the decks already and they won't be here until February. Everyone is back in school by now and the homework
is in full effect. Here's a little worship homework for you too: Spread the word! Get some photos for the worship army
member photo gallery. Sell some decks to complete your mission. Get a free deck, move up the ranks, start collecting parts
of the treasure map, go on a road trip and collect the goods. There is a lot of work to be done. The diagram above is of
the Charles river skate park project going down in Boston. Check out their page in our links section for more information
on how things are coming along. New stickers are on the way. Plus some new artist series t-shirts are slated for the Ides
of March....Send us an email explaining the significance of the Ides as well as what worship product coincides with it and
win a free longsleeve dagger t-shirt. Get your answer in before February 1st. New team member Hunter Legnos has been seen
destroying the new 7-ply skateshop video. His part actually won him a spot on the team. The man can Switch Heel anything.
He's got great style and an enormous bag of tricks. Our video is postponed do to too much great new footage and everyone's
super busy schedule. When it does come out later this year it will blow minds. Believe me when I say it will be worth the
wait! Check out the new St. Stamnes series decks available for pre-order in the worship army store. They still come with
free shipping and free grip. They cost is $52.00 on the normal part of the site but you can save money by getting yours in
the army store. A proceed from everyboard goes to the Scott Stamnes Fund. Reserve yours today!

1-02-05 Hello there.....2005 is finally here! It's a new beginning and a chance to get your skating moving in the right
direction. No more slackin off. Hammers! A lot is new for us here at Worship. The Banner is currently running on Transworlds
web site and creating a buzz all over the country. The best part is you've known all along. Our First major catalog is printed
and being shipped home as we speak. We are now offering exclusive dealer contracts in the bigger cities to make sure we are
represented correctly. The beanies are sick and an absolute necessity for some ice cold street skating. Matteo has left
for the motherland...Italy. He hopes to set up distribution there through his many contacts. Braden was home for the holidays
in the metropolis of Worcester where he broke his finger skating. Get well BWPS. New t-shirts and a spring line of golf
related goods are in the works and slated for a limited run. Talk to your local shop and let them know how insane Worship
skateboards has gotten. Also it appears that all of the facilities owned by Woodward will be carrying our decks this summer.
Let's make 2005 the best year ever...sell/buy your 4 decks get your free deck..complete the missons , earn some really cool
packages. Happy New Year!
12-10-04 So what did you buy Mom this year??? If you haven't done anything you'd better get to it....time is running out!
Our Spring 2005 catalog is in the works and looking quite nice. The feature series will be the St. Stamnes decks. You can
check them out in the Gallery and on the Artists page. The man pictured on these graphics is the son of Captn. Mike Stamnes,
who owned the Chicagof fishing boat now seen in all of the volcom ads. They also dedicated their last video to him as well
as named it after the boat. Volcom is actually releasing a limited edition artist series shirt using the same graphic as
seen in the center board graphic. Take a close look and you'll see the Chicagof in the distance. The boards will be available
on a pre-order basis and will ship as soon as they arrive. That way people can be assured to get one since they will be
highly desirable as a collectors piece. Since this was a salmon fishing boat that traveled to Alaska for its bounty we have
a very special limited edition deck to be announced later. St. Stamnes lives....go skate!
11-16-04 It's Turkey time again....mini ramp jams and hooded sweatshirts. Congrats to our Halloween costume contest winner,
E-5 Eric Gunther who pulled off the best Animal Chin ever. Classic! Enjoy the free deck Eric. The Thanksgiving sale is
a cool way to get your friends stoked on Worship...so let em know. As of December 1st.... the mission requirements will become
the same for every mission up to the officer's club. For every 4 decks bought at the $45.00 price you will receive a free
deck. It doesn't matter if you bought it or your friend did. Just remember to email us their name if they do so you can
get credit. Everytime you do this you move up a rank. Which means you get a free deck. Not bad! The other Objective Force
Missions are still available as an alternative to sales if you can not seem to sell decks. Those of you with a strong record
of sales will be compensated if you have extras on file equalling the sum of 4. That's all for now folks. Enjoy the turkey....especially
the turkey turantula.
10-21-04 If you read the Norwich Bulletin today you saw an article about worship skateboards and the presentation of the
Sam Huntington Deck to the Norwich Historical Society. Since almost none of you are from Norwich besides Private Kincade
here is a link to check it out. http://www.norwichbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20041021/NEWS01/41021002/1002
Just copy and paste. Congratulations are in order for our new Private First Class Devin Bolger who recently completed
the E-2 mission. Way to go D. B. I am totally psyched on the Revolt Industies wheel project. Look for a release sometime
before Christmas! Don't forget to email us your halloween costume photos if you want to be in the contest. Get someone you
know to shop online.
10-18-04 Well I am happy to report that the contest / fundraiser at Norwich went great! Red bull came out to support the
cause and kept everyone energized with free bull. While our own Raul Lopez did a fantastic job keeping the crowd hyped on
the mic. The team acted as judges and time keepers when they weren't shredding during the warm up sessions. Over 1000$
was raised to help the park and everyone had a good time. Then it was off to the worship warehouse for a mini ramp jam and
BBQ. Much went down but Matteo's near backside 540 on the 4 ft mini was insane! We have not received too many pics for the
Halloween contest so get to it. Just emails us a jpg of you in your costume to be entered. Some of the ones we received
are hiilarious. The riders have been getting their footage in and so should you if you wish to be on the army bonus section
of the dvd. Last but not least here is the new juno graphic in production. Go finish your missions and we'll send you your
packages full of free stuff. That is all.
10-10-04 October is cruising by and Halloween will be upon us sooner than you think! Did I hear someone say 'trick or treat?'....With
this in mind we are working on a few pet projects here at worship...one of which is the Black sale which is going on in the
Px / army store..so check it out. The holidays are a good time to get involved and finish your missions. Get your new members
and sell the few boards you need to. A lot of people are psyched on the new Sam Huntington deck that we just released to
honor him. Here's the card that comes with each deck. It explains his contribution to our great country. A proceed from
every one that we sell will go to benefit a run down park in the town of Norwich,CT. So support a good cause and tell people
to buy that deck so we can all help some skaters who got a raw deal. Happy Halloween!
10-1-04 Break out the scarecrows and candy corn because it's almost Halloween! Free candy and costumes are in order. If
you order a deck this month you are in for a haunted surprise. Or at least a ton of junk food! Any member wishing to enter
our costume contest should email us a JPG photo. Think of something hilarious and mail it in. We will be posting all of
the pictures on a special page as they come in. The winner will get a package way better than any candy bar! The Sam Huntington,
1st President, board will be available on Monday, October 4th. The response from the town of Norwich about this board has
been great. The folks at Elasco wheels have sent our samples so the Revolt wheels program is definately taking shape. Look
for a smooth 54mm wheel to be available sometime before Christmas. On the 16th of October Worship skateboards is sponsoring
a contest to help raise funds for the Norwich skatepark. It is really quite terrible to say the least. The town wasted
almost 70,000 of the 90,000 it had on landscaping and other less important items. It was truly a travesty and major set back
for the Norwich skaters who had worked so hard to raise funds. A portion from every Worship Norwich board sold will be donated
to the revitalizing effort. Do your part and help some unfortunate skaters get what they deserve. if you have any questions
about the contest or any comments about what's going on with worship drop us a line. A Happy Birthday goes out to Sean
Saxena.
9-9-04 Did you do your homework? I bet your sick of hearing that already. I love this time of year, the weather is perfect,
the days aren't too short, and Halloween is on the horizon. Patches just retured froma cross country jaunt where he made
contact with some folks in Seattle that new all about Worship skateboards. He ,the Red Baron, Braden And Matteo have returned
to their respective colleges to study ernestly and not party at all........yeah. Today a shipment of black dove 7.75 decks
arrived along with a few white dove vert models size 8.5. They look awesome! Now for the bad news...I have recently left
the skatepark formally known as skater paradise/msc to search out some greener pastures. We could not agree on how to run
the park being that we have different backgrounds. Instead of battling over control, I decided it was time to move on and
focus on Worship as well as the other brands we are about to release. The Revolt wheel company headed by our own Matteo Forgione
is a beautiful thing. His passion and brilliance really shine in all ways on this concept. The wheel construction and performance
are key and look to be equal with the best made wheels in the industry. The 116 clothing line is being modeled for production
over the winter season and you should expect a Springtime release. Each piece will be detailed with embroidery making you
the envy of your friends who are too lazy to order online. Support your company by getting people to shop at the website
for their boards. Skate or die
9-2-04 Back to school.......Although this may not seem exciting you just need to look at it differently. You'll see old
friends and meet new ones, plus the weather is just right for skating outside in your new Worship hoodie(coming soon). Take
the opportunity to hype Worship at your school...maybe you'll be able to finish your mission and get some free stuff. A new
line of clothing is in the works for the Christmas season so save your money and buy that special someone a piece of worship
apparel. The new Xenophobia will be chock full of the latest and greatest Worship riders, interviews, and product reviews.
Matteo is bringing back a company from his past in an effort to expand our horizons. The company will keep its name, Revolt
Industries and will consist of wheels and clothing. Be on the look out for more info over the next few months. We have
just restocked the Flamingo graphic as well as the white dove logo deck. Dr Schlachter is MIA in the Big city...NYC...We
keep forwarding your emails but he hasn't responded quite yet. I wonder what he's been up to??? Now go do your homework.
8-13-04 Get ready to light the candles because Worship Skateboards turns 1 in just ten days. It's hard to believe that 12
months ago this was just a concept. We've made it a full year and produced over 1200 decks! Our team is getting better
every week while our Army is growing stronger daily. A limited edition 1 year anniversary t-shirt will be available starting
on August 23rd. Dr. Schlachter is still waiting for someone to start the ball rolling. Ask him a question? Then answer
his! It's that simple. There will be a mini ramp contest at M.S.C. skatepark on August 22nd starting at 2pm. So get to
the park and practice.
8-2-04 It feels great to be back at the skatepark I have to admit. Even though its been very quiet as of late. In the news-
Braden
"bigdawg" Wheeler just returned from California where he put his skillz to the test by frontside boardsliding
the Hollywood High 16! He's crazy(but notice which deck he's riding). The rumors of a reunion with Dan Carreiero as a Worship
Rider were simply that. We wish Dan all the best over at his respective skateboard company. The new Xenophobia will be chock
full of interesting Worship photos and articles including a product review and interview with Matteo Forgione. So be on the
look out in about 2 months. Congratulations is in order for PFC Shane Fleming who recently was given an honorary promotion
in rank for his loyalty and commitment to our company. Feel free to talk to your local shops and spread the word among
your friends. Complete your Missions!!!!! Then we'll send you free skateboards. Isn't life grand?!
7-23-04
JUST A FEW SAFETY TIPS FROM HUFFY
back when they made 25x6 inch decks
~Ride only where legal and safe. Avoid steep inclines where high speed could develop.
~NEVER skateboard at night.
~Be sure the road surface is smooth, clean and always dry. Always avoid rocks, sand, cracks and debris.
~Always check your equiptment. Trucks should be adjusted correctly, with all mounting screws tightly secured to the board.
Wheel nuts should be properly tightened.
~Inexperienced riders should use a railing (or a wall or another person) for support while attempting unfamiliar maneuvers.
Beginners should place one foot over the front wheels and slowly push away with the other foot to develop proper balance.
~Always wear tennis shoes, long trousers, and long-sleeved shirts.
7-21-04 Well here we are once again. The new decks have arrived and been dispersed to all of our vendors. The Sam Huntington
1st president deck is in production as we speak and should be here in no time. In other news, Dangerous Dan Carreiro has
come home to the worship camp. We are very glad to have him. A model is being designed to his exact specifications as we
speak. Braden Wheeler has been killing himself in order to get just the right photo for our upcoming ad in one very national
skateboard magazine. Which one do you think it will be??? The Doctor has been in NYC lately recruiting a certain metropolitan
skater by the name of Boogie. Be very afraid! Although on hiatus, the Doctor still can answer your questions.....so send
him one and maybe you will be the next to win a free deck or t-shirt like Tom Harrington did. Here you see a new sticker
featuring Art by PCT's Davis. Can you figure out where else this face is located on the web site. That might be worth
something to the first person who emails the answer in. Be on the look out for another old school deck coming soon as well.
Spread the word about your company and we'll see you at M.S.C. real soon. Over & Out.
