In it’s sixth year, the Hessians Tour has claimed more lives and capture the hearts of so many! Won’t you feast on this delicious footage of torment and fierce ripping from all of the unsuspecting souls who fell into our trap. By merely giving out tons of free gear and food, it was enough to lour them in. Once there, they fell into a dark hole and meet on the other side, Neurotoxin. Heads bang and boards broke at their feet! It was glorious and all thanks to our fellows at Thrasher, deluxe, Ogio, Stereo, Mystery, and DC! See you next year!!

 Nothing says summer like a good ‘ol fashion church skate jam! Bring a helmet and good spirits! We’ll have a BBQ, Active riders from Temecula and Escondido store will be their ripping it up for the kids and judging contests.
