The RVCA Team came out in all their glory to Active Escondido, this past Sunday April 27th, for a hundred-degree demo. Aside from the heat, the guys skated it up (uphill) and did their best without getting heatstroke midway through the demo. Leo Romero killed it as usual. If you have the chance to check out any demos that Leo is skating in you should make sure to attend, he is great. Josh Harmony, Ethan Fowler, Raymond Molinar, and Kevin Long were also in attendance skating for the crowd. This was Kevin’s first demo in over a year and Active was happy we got to have his comeback performance, he too killed it. Austin Stephens also showed up to the demo but he couldn’t skate due to a hurt foot, but he did sign it up for everyone. For now check out the photos. We will have a video from the demo posted later this week.
Check out RVCA’s photos from the event. Look out for coverage of the demo on FUEL tv soon as well! Thanks to Jimmy for being the best dude ever.

The Altamont Team came out to the Grand Opening of our newest Active location at the Irvine Spectrum. They signed and took photos with over a hundred Altamont fans and broke ground on the new location. Andrew Reynolds, Bryan Herman, Theotis Beasley and Justin Figueroa were all in the house representing Altamont and Active, in all cases except our friend Bryan Herman.
Thanks to all the guys who came out to sign, all the Sole Tech and Altamont friends who made this possible and to the Active Irvine Spectrum Staff for holding it down for the day.

Elwood and Active teamed up to bring our one of the best skateboarding teams in the world and some great promotions to Southern California for Earth Day, April 22nd. The entire Elwood Team including Dan Drehobl, Kenny Anderson, Anthony Pappalardo, Vincent Alvarez, Marquis Henry, and Silas Baxter Neal were all in the house.
The day was long and successful. It started out with meeting up at Kenny Anderson’s house where the team skated Kenny’s pool. From Kenny’s the posse took the WVO powered Mercedes and two Toyota Prius’ to Channel Street Skatepark in San Pedro. From the skatepark the Elwood team and crew headed over to Long Beach Active for a signing and a check in to see how the promotions were going. If you brought in an old pair of jeans, you’d get a discount on a new pair of Elwoods. If you brought in an old pair of Elwood jeans, you’d get a NEW pair of Elwood jeans, free of cost. Elwood also brought out a ton of stuff for give-a-ways and hooked up a ton of people who came out for Earth Day celebrations.
Altamont Apparel has picked up Justin Figueroa and Brian “Slash” Hansen as their newest ams, both of whom ride for Active Ride Shop.

Here’s something to help hold you off until next fall. It’s the trailer for next year’s video from Forum Snowboards is called “Forum or Against ‘Em.”
Brigada Eyewear has arrived here at Active, and it looks awesome. In case you aren’t familiar with what these sunglasses are all about, read this brief description that was sent to us by none other than Erik Ellington himself.
“Brigada eyewear was first conceived in early 2006 by Jim Greco, Andrew Reynolds, Terry Kennedy and myself. Since there were no skateboarder owned and operated sunglass companies we all got together and thought, “we all wear sunglasses, why not start our own company?” Together we came up with the name Brigada (meaning brigade or crew), sketched up our logo a local diner down the street and gathered up all of our ideas of the stuff we wanted to see made. Before we knew it we had something real and people were starting to take notice to it. It seems like forever since we received the first samples over a year ago but we’ve come a long way and we’re all really proud of what we’ve created and made a reality. So check out a pair of brigadas and see for yourself what im talkin about…”
