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!

“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

Get to the Staples Center before Noon tomorrow to watch Active battle it out against 3 other So Cal skate shops in hopes of bringing home the second consecutive Gold Medal for Active! See you there!

A month or so ago Andrew Reynolds decided that he wanted to shoot his Ad at his house with a minimalist view of it and of himself. Atiba Jefferson and Andrew met up and Andrew’s house has numerous great settings where they could have shot the Ad, but Andrew decided to shoot it in front of his vintage piano with one of his acoustic guitars in hand. The ad is featured in TheSkateboardMag as well as Transworld. If you live under a rock and haven’t yet checked out Andrew’s band, The Goat, you should. Altamont makes The Goat gear as well so make sure you stock up.
