Foskco Super Secret Black Market Art Sale.

Dear Skateboard Consumers,
Foundation Skateboards recently hosted "The Retirement Party" art show at BLENDS in San Diego, California. The show celebrated Mike's new pro status and his creative side as well as giving his friends a chance to share the spotlight. The project consisted of 150 painted boards done by Mike Rusczyk and friends in a two-month period. It was a huge success and we are excited to share the experience with everyone that couldn¹t be there in person. Mike has built a unique website to showcase the art pieces and to sell them off for a good cause. The boards will be sold for $50.00 each plus shipping and proceeds will go to the Lift Foundation. Thanks to everyone who came to the show and anyone who takes the time to check out or buy one of the limited edition painted boards. Check it out!
Sincerely,
Foundation Skateboards Ministry of Propaganda

Mike Rusczyk's "Retirement Party" art show opening
On January 20th 2006, Foundation hosted "The Retirement Party" art show at BLENDS in San Diego. The show featured 150 hand painted boards by Mike and a few of his friends to celebrate Mike's "retirement" from AM status. The project took about 2 months to complete. It took a lot of long hours and work but the end result was amazing. The show turn out was great as well. Check out the slideshow HERE. There are still boards avaiable for purchase, proceeds will go to the
Lift The Children foundation.
Stay tuned for a way to get your hands on one online or contact your sales rep for more info.
Special thanks to everyone involved: Swank, Barker, Nathan, Damon, Josh, Chris, Eddie, Meghan, Lilia, Matt, Josh S., Ryan, Louis, Issac, Keith and everyone at BLENDS and of course Mike Rusczyk.
