WeActive! event this Saturday May 17th 2-4pm. The rest of the WESC crew will be there signing autographs. Click more for all the details!! Jason Lee’s gonna be there representing for the WESC. Jason is the co-owner of Stereo/rider and in currently starring in the hit TV series “My name is Earl”. Yes, he still gets down on the stunt wood, while being crazy busy with his other ventures. Lee is someone I’ve always looked up to. He’s a skater that has been creatively successful, instead of just burning out on drugs like most. At 15 me and my skate posse attacked LA skate spots and tried to grow mutten chops after watching this part in Video Days. Check it out and do the same!

Ray Barbee! One of the nicest guys I know! The same guy who almost single handedly help the skate scene transition from neon crap/spandex to wearing jeans and ball caps! At least in my little scene. At the time the runs Ray was doing and all the no complys was out of this world. I’ve attached a little You Tube video of his 1989 part in Powell’s “Ban This”. Come check out Ray grooving with his new band at the Santa Monica Active’s WeActive! event this Saturday May 17th 2-4pm. The rest of the WESC crew will be there signing autographs.

Check out all the action from the RVCA demo that took place at Active Ride Shop Escondido. Leo Romero and Kevin “Spanky” Long got down it. Spanky, in top form after suffering some injuries this past year. The guy is a straight up biker now, so I don’t know if “Spanky” still applies, but whatever, he’s rad. Let’s change it to “Snake”! Our own Anthony Pshebelski (pronounce She Bell Ski! The P is silent!!) threw down like the hungry Am he is. Look out for him to rule the skate planet. Oh, he’s the young man cranking out the switch front side big heels and wearing the killer head band. I know… I’m a brown noser! Watch the video sucka!!

P.S. Leo is the gnarliest!
