“So this past summer Nike decide to take a few of us on a full blown Euro trip. The trip consisted of myself, ‘’stunt wizard man” Justin Brock, good looking David Clark, and “the child” Grant Taylor. We skated quite a few places out there. We started our journey in Colonge, Germany, where I freshly got off the plane and went straight to skating… Talk about jetlag. I also forgot to mention, within the first few hours of skating, I decide to fall on my shoulder which caused it to get a minor separation. So being that I messed up my shoulder the first day, I was pretty bummed out. Luckily it healed up pretty quickly. I was back on the board in no time. I must also mention we rented a BMW and drove it on the Autobahn. Basically these are a few photos from my Euro Vacation. I’ll get some more up soon.” - Daryl Angel

Incase: a better experience through good design. Their motto couldn’t be more true. Incase is one of my favorite companies out there. They do accessories and cases better than anyone. I personally own the Nylon Slim Backpack,  the Protective Cover For IPhone, and the Guitar Dub bag. Their attention to detail in their designs are what make them the best. It’s like that old saying, There’s a place for everything, and everything in it’s place, I’m surprised their isn’t an Iphone holder in my Iphone holder. Later this year Incase will be launching their Paul Rodriguez signature line of bags, they look legit, and you know you’ll be able to get them right here at Active Ride Shop.
