Kick’n it on the Patio

College and NFL football is upon us. Since we live in Stillwater, home of Kicker and Oklahoma State University, and the game was at home this week vs. Georgia there were cookouts and party’s everywhere. Last week before the game I was planning on having people over for a kickoff party. I hooked up a home stereo receiver in the garage and ran a set of wires to my patio where I hooked up a pair of Kicker KB6000’s. They sounded great. When we went outside to cook on the grill we had the game on the radio so we never missed a second of it.

2nd annual Celebrity Skins Classic

Hi everyone,

I was back in Los Angeles this week for a very cool event. KICKER sponsored athlete, Ryan Sheckler, hosted his 2nd annual Celebrity Skins Classic. This golf tournament helps raise money for the Sheckler Foundation. Ryan created this charity to give back to an industry that has given him so much.

Malooooooooof- Alex Davis

This past weekend I had the pleasure of working the KICKER booth at the Orange County Super Fair, which contained within it the biggest skateboard competition in the world, the second annual Maloof Money Cup. With a prize pool of around $500,000, it guarantees to bring out the biggest names and the sickest tricks around. KICKER sponsored skaters Ryan Sheckler, Pierre-Luc Gagnon(PLG), and Greg Lutzka were amongst the talent that would grace us with their presence in beautiful Costa Mesa, CA.

Freestone Outdoor National

We just returned from the Freestone Outdoor National Motocross. What a killer time. We picked up an RV in OKC and headed south. As the KICKER XRV rolled into TX, you would have thought we were Rockstars. Tons of people mobbed us as we rolled the streets, signing autographs for the crazy fans. Ok so that is not how it happened! We can dream right? The weekend was hot and so was the racing. We had front row seats to all the action and festivities. The racing was intense. After the dust settled, the amateurs got to see just how good the pros really are. That track kicked our butts.

Tim Smith, checking in from the install bay

Hello all you folks out there surfing the interweb. Happy Tuesday! Just checking in from the Install Bay and letting you know what we’re up to down here. For the last couple of weeks we’ve been working on a project that is very near and dear to our hearts as past and present Minitruckers. We’ve been building an 85 S-10 complete with air ride suspension and stock floor bodydrop. We will be debuting this truck at Scrapin’ the Coast in Biloxi, Mississippi on June 20th – 22nd.

Another Genius Idea

I was walking down the street the other day and saw this dude with his huge dog. It was a pitbull decked out with the super cool spiked collar and huge chain. The dude was rocking out to his iPod and was acting really cool but I felt the effect he was going for could have been greatly enhanced if anyone looking at this spectacle could have heard what he was rocking out to. So it hit me... KICKERized dog collar!

Jason Jones: Sports Marketing Manager

I received an email the other day from our new marketing intern about writing a blog about my job here at Kicker. I have never “blogged” before so bear with me as I give this a try. My name is Jason Jones and I’m the Sports Marketing Manager for Kicker and have been here for 10 years. When I started with Kicker I built demo vehicles and performed technical trainings for our dealers in the United States as well as Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand. I did that for a few years and then transferred over to marketing.

Special Ops. Kicker Brand Marketing Tim Gertz

My name is Tim Gertz and I have been around Kicker since 1989. I realize this is before most of you reading this were even born. I bought my first pair of 12 inch Kicker Competition woofers back in 1989 and built a box myself in my Dad’s garage. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, but I did know I had a passion for building systems with tons of BASS. It was a miracle it even worked. It was cool then to have a lot of bass in your car. Back then people had absolutely no idea what was happening.
