Active Pro Team Rider Billy Marks‘ birthday was this past Monday, September 29th. Billy turned 26 and we were there to document some of the day’s events. Billy is now an avid hockey player so we watch him play a game and score a couple goals. Billy also played lots of his specialty, beer pong. Transworld was there as well to cover the event and are putting together a Billy Marks Day in the Life as I type. We will let you know when it’s online. For now, check out the photos! Also, if you want to meet Billy and the rest of the Toy Machine team make sure you head out to the  Toy Machine Demo at San Dimas Active on HALLOWEEN!
