Here’s the Halloween Toy Machine Demo video for your viewing pleasure. Active San Dimas will never be the same after the Toy Machine team rolled through in all of their Halloween glory. FUEL tv was also there covering the event for The Weekly Update which should be airing a segment within a week or so. Enjoy the video!

There are many things out there that are intended to stop you from skateboarding. Things like fences, security guards, and knobs on rails, just to name a few. This video works well too.

If you’re a Mike Carroll fan and haven’t seen Transworld’s ‘Modus Operandi’, do so by playing the video we have so graciously provided you with. Also, if you’re in the So Cal, Temecula area, you can meet Mr. Mike Carroll and the entire Lakai Team at Active Temecula this coming Saturday Sept 27th. Enjoy!

Terry Kennedy and the Fly Society performed at Active San Diego’s new location over the past weekend. Check out the footage from the epic performance that will leave you amazed.

If you’ve already seen Danny Way’s crash from the X-Games 14 Big Air event last Thursday, you know that Danny Way is gnarly. Watch this video of what was going on behind the scenes and I think you’ll agree that Danny Way is on a level at which all things gnarly should be measured against. Rightfully so, Danny was named Best Athlete of X-Games 14. Thanks to DC for the footage.

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!!

Why skateboarders and fireworks don’t mix. Be safe this 4th of July.

Go Skateboarding Day in Ohio looked like a lot of fun. Riding in the back of pickup trucks and blowing up fireworks may be illegal here in California, but in good old Ohio they wouldn’t have it any other way. As you watch this video, you may be wondering what Norwegian Black Metal has to do with Go Skateboarding Day in Ohio. That’s good, cause so am I. Video courtesy of Erik Bragg.

Our buddies over at Skateboard.com have been hooking up all kinds of rad video lately, and here is another one. This one is a quick Q&A with Active’s own, Paul Rodriguez. Enjoy.

Active Family member and good friend Mike Vallely celebrates his 21st year as a professional skater!! To me, Mike is the meaning of professional! He gives 100% to his fans and is a breeze to work with. Look out for another Mike V / Active collaboration soon! If you missed the last one check out the highlight reel http://news.activerideshop.com/mike-vallely-demo-video/

Riverside Active was host to a massive Plan B demo Sat May 17th, 2008. Our family member and good friend Paul Rodriguez was in the house laying down the law. His teammates Jereme Rogers, Colin McKay, Ryan Sheckler, and the man the myth, the legend Danny Way all skated and sign tons of autographs. Check out the highlight reel!!
