The guys at Sector 9 have been asking us for a long time to come down and tour their facilities. After a day of being cooped up in the office while it was pouring down rain, we decided to take them up on the offer. We got a full walk through of how Sector 9 transforms lumber into skateboards, and then we got to take full advantage of the highlight of the factory: the bowl. And by “we” I mean “the boys.” The only thing I took advantage of was the beer fridge.

Thanks Sector 9!

Hair farmers Josh Hunter and Sector 9’s EG Fratantaro.

Better known for his skills on the snow, Rob Campbell spent some time in the “staging area” before dropping into the bowl. By the by, when he finally did drop in, he made it on his first try. Props.

Our pesky skate editor always has to upstage everyone.

Shaka bra. Josh Hunter and Transworld sales rep Matt Sims. Stay tuned for hilarious video of Sims getting up close and personal with the bottom of the bowl. He ate it a few times before actually making the drop in.
