It’s been hard to find the right words knowing this post would be coming but as we come out of the Christmas and Holiday season all I can come up with is, thankful. As we head into 2025 I’m thankful for all the late nights, smiles, laughs, falls, ups, downs, friends, road trips, special celebrations, competitions, edits, festivals, and… family.
Backroom Boardshop & Skatepark started with this crazy vision Cody Stricklin and I had and evolved into something we could’ve never even imagined. I’ll be forever grateful for the memories made and the experiences that we’d always dreamed of somehow turning into reality. Countless hours of dedication to our dream led to one of the coolest spots Downtown Poplar Bluff has ever seen. It’s truly been an honor to take this ride with one of my best friends and the backbone of the PB skate scene. Cody, thank you for everything. I can’t put into words how much you carried this thing and made it the most enjoyable experience for me ever. Truly a dream come true thanks to you. I love you brother and I’ll forever be grateful for your friendship.
Unfortunately, due to multiple unforeseen circumstances out of our control and many discussions we have decided it is time to shut our doors. Our last day open will be January 3rd and we hope to see you everyday that we’re open till then. Cody and I could’ve never made any of this possible without all of your support over the years so, again, beyond thankful.
Although we may not have an address we will still be around and always be the old heads at the park hyping everyone up. We’ll see you around friends, don’t be strangers. SKATE OR DIE!!
