JULY 2011 UPDATE

I am stoked to announce my 1st Place win at ACTIVE Huntington Beach, Ca. They had a huge Game Of Skate contest on June 19th. The last time I had entered an ACTIVE contest was 4 or 5 years ago and I got 2nd in that Game of skate. It was nice to give it another go after some flat ground training and take top honors!

I also got featured recently in The Street Team Magazine!

On a side random note I found my old pro signature POWERBAR "Triple Threat" bar boxes on sale on Ebay! Never thought I would see the day. Pretty cool in a weird way seeing them up for auction and seeing people have bid wars over them.

As far as NEW signature product goes for me I am proud to announce I have a NEW POWERBAR box back cover in stores as we speak! Its 10 times better than the last one! Bigger box better flavors and more detail to the packaging image. I will post a picture to them very soon! In the meantime my new clothing sponsor 6 STARZ and I have been working on a Pro Signature T-shirt for the new line. Check it out below it drops in about a month. Demand it at your local skateshop! We will announce some release party's soon and everyone on this earth is invited. Shout out to 6 STARZ! Everyone add them on Facebook and Twitter Check my links to the right to be directed to them.

And last but not least my newest STRUGGLE skateboards Pro deck has been released for the public to see! Its an awesome photo of my actual dog "NOLLIE". Can't wait for them to be out. These decks should be out by early August of 2011. In the meantime check out the new STRUGGLE "Snapback" caps that we came out with! CLICK HERE

DRISCOLLS "BEAUTIFUL DISASTER" SHOP

APRIL 2011 UPDATE

I have a full length part in the first ever DRISCOLLS shop team video entitled "BEAUTIFUL DISASTER" . Footage from within the last 4 years of my skateboarding can be seen in this video. I put a lot of hard work into it and it is finally done and due to hit shelves Friday May 13th. I will be present at the premier at Driscolls as well as at the 2011 Imperial Valley Film Festival in which "BEAUTIFUL DISASTER" made the final cut and has been confirmed for screening to an entire theater filled with thousands of viewers May 7th in the Imperial Valley mall.

Also I recently finished my 2nd EPIC cameras video part. This time with the EPIC HD camera. Check out the footage below. I really feel it gives skateboarding a new perspective and fresh look. I think these cameras would be fantastic for trick tip videos as well. Seeing as how you can actually see foot placement.

And lastly the amazing people over at STREET SURFING who make "THE WAVE" casterboards hooked me up with one to try out and I got the following footage in 1 day. I had the board for 3 days but pretty much landed the tricks on the actual day we filmed this footage. This board has immensely helped my balance and manuals on my regular skateboard. Seeing as how the casterboard only has two wheels in total I have had to really learn to balance on only one wheel. Also just to kickflip on it is like putting the same amount of pressure as a double kickflip on my regular skateboard. Not only is this board a great training tool for me but it is actually really fun to use and I don't even have to pedal to get around. I definitely recommend you try one out for yourself. It will seem tough at first but when you get the hang of it you will absolutely dig it and wonder why you didn't ride one sooner!

Oh and R.I.P. Nate Dogg! When we made this edit it was actually a day before his death. Later when I found out he had passed away I could not believe it. I grew up listening to Nate Dogg and the soundtrack to "Above the Rim" was the first CD I ever had which included this song "Regulate" and introduced me to the G funk era of hip hop. Nate Dogg holds a big piece of my childhood growing up learning to skate blasting hip hop in my ears. Much respect to him and all others that have passed. I will always be a fan!

GAME ON

I will be at GAME ON next weekend. SATURDAY APRIL 23rd. I will be there with my Struggle comrades ready to be challenged at some rad video games! Everything from Black Ops to Skate 3 ! Be one of the first few to show up and mention "SWORN" to me and I will hook you up with something FREE ! After the game session we will do a skate demo at Ladera Ranch skatepark and then we will be going back to GAME ON for some more gaming. From there we will get our street skating on! You are all welcome to continue the session with us!

MARCH 2011 UPDATE

Stoked to announce that I will be featured on the cover of the new POWERBAR Triple Threat bar boxes for the year 2011. The shots were done in color and look super crisp and epic! My current POWERBAR box cover can be found at Ralphs, Wal Mart, Rite Aid, Target, and Select CVS stores throughout the United States. Check out the video below to get a preview of the cover shot and a behind the scenes look into the photo shoot that took place.

Also I got a two page spread in the new issue of the PETER GRIMM 2011 catalogue. The spread features my two signature hats "The Elect" and "The Liner". The images on the hats were photographed by me in my hometown of El Centro,Ca on the east side of town where I grew up skateboarding.

Also I recently moved up to Orange County to be closer to my sponsors and crank the skating into overtime. Struggle Skateboards HQ has relocated up here as well and we just got a full office with warehouse to house all operations of my skateboard company. I would like to thank all of my sponsors that have backed me and stuck by me 100% for these past years. Thank You!

I am also proud to announce my new clothing sponsor CLUTCH clothing. I have a signature T-shirt due for release within the next few months.

And lastly I have a full length part in the upcoming DRISCOLLS shop video "BEAUTIFUL DISASTER". The video is due out by April of this year. Its going to be awesome!
