Welcome to the site

welcome to the site

I've been into this stuff for over 25 years now.. from skating and riding Bedford Square (gone...), all the spots, ghetto set-ups and ramps/parks we've had in Exeter... to parks and spots all over this country and others.. running contests, entering contests, doing photos & words for 'Ride' mag, and for the last 10 years, this, the Boarding House.

To me, running a local shop is the best combination of all, a real shop where you can check where the parks are, use the tools to fix your stuff, meet up..

This shop has been part of the Exeter scene since '84, here's to more! Thanks for your support.

###### Exe Games 2010 goes off, as ever!!! ######

Prize giving

Well, a good day was had by all at the comp Sunday, stayed dry all day and loads of prizes given out, and even a little cash!
Decided to go for a Mini-ramp comp this year for a change, was well worth it, some killer runs being done.
Plenty of highlights, but with a comp, pro demo's, a burger van, and the best park in Devon to hand, no surprise there . . . .!
We're so crazy efficient, the comp ran quicker than expected, so fitted in a high hop comp with cash, CASH prizes! A purple 'un for first, some brown for second and a bluey if you came in third. Nay bad.

###### Hot Weekend of BMX Action in Exeter !! ######

nice tat

A few of the Exeter riders got together this weekend to run a 'Ride To Glory' format comp, three teams were put together with a string of challenges as with the Ride Mag comp.
So many people told me how much fun they'd had with this one, and some of the stuff that went down was sick. . . . . and the security guards of Exeter have never been run so ragged!!!
NBD's going off all over. . . . . I'm biased cos he rides for the shop, and I was there when this went down, but Josh Kew's been stomping some of the biggest stuff done in ETown since F-P opened and before, but what he did at the Project N site, no-one saw that line, and who would fancy it, he is gnar! See it on the edit.

Teams were:
Team Bananas
Captain: Josh Kew Riders: Jazzy Gerald, Harry M-W, Joe Ross, Sam Drewe, Tom G

Team E-Unit
Captain: Jamie Skinner Riders: Dan Knuckles, Phil Preston, Jon Dawson, Simeon Clark, Dan Oakaby

Team The Martynators
Captain: Martyn Hastings Riders: Rob Miller, Harry Woolfenden, 540 Dan Priddle, Jason Hole, Jake Boatfield, James Kimberley, George Govier.

Good turnout down the Cavern

We had a lil premiere of each teams edit Monday night at The Cavern Club in Exeter, cheers to Dave & Pippa,
