Anyone who has has participated in extreme board sports for any length of time has most likely experienced a sport stopping injury. I mean let’s face it if you’re really pushing the boundaries then you are always one turn away from a catastrophe. Most of us work on a calculated risk theory involving weighing personal our skill against the challenges we choose - factoring in our willingness to deal with the potential repercussions. It’s rare that someone will truly understand the price we pay to play until they’ve experienced an injury that puts their lifestyle on hold. I’ve experienced it, and I’m about to take another run at it.

Nov 7th: 2nd time, same knee - ACL replacement, MCL repair & partial meniscus removal. It’s the reality of a small misstep when you’re driven by adrenaline and progression in a BOARD lifestyle. I’m not looking forward to the large dose of pain that im about to take but, the outcome is worth it. This is like a test to see if I can keep focused on the outcome and not let the mental aspects get to me. The doubts and fears of loosing hard earned skills, the reality that I’m getting older … blah blah blah The truth is, I am willing to pay and I’m dreaming of the minute I can step on my board and get back to MY life! Thanks for all the support! Skate, Surf, Snowboard, Wakesurf, Skim, Wake and Mountain BOARD with ya in 6 months - Brian

Youth extreme sport (skate/snow/wake/surf/skim) clothing is tough to find. Most smaller clothing companies don’t see value in the youth market since it’s by far the minority of the extreme sport clothing markets. As an extreme sport retailer, CBL has recognized the need for a better selection and concentrated on bringing in the best selection of youth extreme sport clothing found in Sacramento. Independent, Santa Cruz, Spitfire, World Industries, LB2B and more - Stop by to check out the collection and stock up for the holidays.

Snowboarding in Folsom… When it comes to the CBL’s Snowboarders almost anything is possible. From backside tail slides, to lip-to-tail 180’s if you happen to pass by CBL this Sunday you probably caught a glimpse of our crew mashing one of the snowboard obstacles (rail, flat box, down box) in front of the store. Even the lack of snow didn’t stop this 4 hour impromptu rail session from happening check the Pics! Thanks to all the cool people who participated.  Check some of the cool pics.

Those crazy dudes at CBL have caught the bug….BAD. Yesterday Brian and Dan were in front of the store sliding a rail on their snowboards - in shorts! And now Dan’s committed to trucking in some snow this weekend in an attempt to curb the symptoms and ease the pain of this terrible bug. Stop by this weekend if you want to see whet they come up with. You should also check out some more pictures in our photo gallery.
