Check out a teaser video Steve Berra wanted us to share with the world about the Berrics.
If you don’t already know, the Berrics is a secret warehouse skate park that is owned by our team riders Steve Berra and Eric Koston. The Berrics has the world’s best skateboarders skating there on a daily basis. There’s a ton of top secret stuff going down there and this is a small taste of things to come from the Berrics.
Check out theberrics.com it should be up and running soon!
Our friend and pro team rider Steve Berra dropped by Active yesterday to say hello and pick up supplies for his and Eric Koston's skatepark, The Berrics.
Steve has been taking welding classes all week so that he can now build any rail his heart desires. Steve is now a master welder after sitting through a rigorous training course all week long, quite commendable.
Steve is also busy filming for his Alien Workshop video part and has been skating a ton and putting his new facility to use. Some of The Berrics regulars are Eric Koston, Steve Berra, Erik Ellington, and Andrew Reynolds. A lot of Active love in those walls.
The Active Team was killing it at GVR this weekend. Billy Marks, Andrew Reynolds, Tyler Hendley, Terell Robinson, Danilo Cerezini and David Loy all went home with at least a grand and some went home with over 10K! Congrats to all of the day's winners and the Regular Team!

I just got the June issue of Transworld Skateboarding at my desk today. On page 29 there is an interesting advertisement from none other than your friends here at Active. As you can see, it is a very cool ad that features a lot of our team members in a collage of other ads we ran throughout the last year or so. Cruise into your nearest Active location to get yourself a copy today.
You may also notice the text at the top of the ad. It reads, “THE BEST TEAM IN SKATEBOARDING IS ABOUT TO GET BETTER…”
