The Emerica Demo 2007 took place this past weekend in the heat and windy Valley of Simi. Active Simi Valley was flooded with skate fans and enthusiasts from all over the map. People came from far and wide to witness Simi Valley skate demolition courteousy of the Emerica professional and amateur team. The only person who was missing was our boy Braydon Szafranski, and he was dearly missed.

Check out the photos and the video from the day’s event.
