BlankDecks.com Announces New Team for 2010

BlankDecks.com is planning to announce a new skate team for the year 2010 with Amatuer skateboarder Jared Rich as the new team manager. Jared had this to say in an email to last years team:

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jared Rich, I skate for Vile Skateboards, Softrucks, and Blankdecks.com.

BlankDecks
Vile Skateboards
Softrucks

I'm getting forward to learning more about the way things work around here and helping to manage the team. I'm also looking forward to becoming better aquainted with each of you as far as that is possible.

Let me tell you just a little bit about myself. I grew up in Lindon, Utah. I've been skateboarding since I was about 13 or so. I've been sponsored for years. I think around 5 or 6. I've skated for Geertsen, NiNjA Bearings, a few different deck companies, Littleman Shockpads, Softrucks, and on and on. I can't remember all of them. There were a few that I skated for that were a little odd. Flux Risers, the ones with LED lights in them... I even tried those Lozin sliders at one point. Those were very interesting.
I spend 2 years in New York as a missionary. It was a very enjoyable experience. Thanks to Softrucks I was able to keep my skills up with how busy I was and actually learn a few new tricks while I was at it. I love skateboarding. That's why I'm here with BlankDecks right now."

It has also been decided that he should be the one to update the current BlankDecks.com Blog. As he is doing at this very moment... Okay so I'm talking about myself. But hey, I'm excited for this new team!

If you haven't submited a video yet, please get around to it as we are forming the new skate team for 2010.
