It has taken them 15 years to get to this point and they are more excited now than ever before. This skateboard video embodies the hunger and passion that is running through all of our veins. They can’t say it’s been easy getting here but it’s been a great journey. They have weathered countless hours in airports, rental vans and hotel rooms, and ripped through a ridiculous amount of boards, trucks, wheels and shoes. The generator and lights have been running hot, non-stop, spending countless hours behind the lens, shooting and logging footage. Tested their boundaries and endured the pain. But the best part about it is, they have done this all together as team, as a family. This project embodies all of that and what element is all about. This is their Element. Starring: Darrell Stanton, Chad Muska, Chad Tim Tim, Tony Tave, Brent Atchley, Mike Vallely, Tosh Townend, Bam Margera and Nyjah Huston. Co-starring: Mike Barker, Jimmy Lannon, Levi Brown, Dallas Rockvam, and Collin Provost, with special appearances by Josh Rio, Michael Mackrodt, Soichiro Nakajima, Bas Janssen, Bucky Lasek, Chris Senn, Jeremy Wray, Ray Barbee, Vanessa Torres, Kevin Terpening and Lacey Baker.

Today I drove out to the Element Skateboards Demo at Active Mail Order in Chino, California. When I arrived I found a fun ass mini ramp that the Dagger Crew built for the demo and I am looking forward to many good sessions on this in the future. The crowd was huge and couldn’t wait to meet Bam Margera. When the Element Van pulled up it got mobbed! Bam had to be lead through the crowd so he could make it to the ramp in one piece it was pretty crazy. Some of the best news of the day was the addition of new team rider Chris Senn. Lots of good mini ramp skating went down by the likes of Bam Margera, Jeremy Wray, Mike V, Chris Senn and the am team was killing it as well particularly Colin Provost who was blasting huge airs. Vanessa Tores was holding it down for the ladies and was ripping as well. Mike V was busting out every imaginable mini ramp trick and it was a true pleasure watching him skate. All in all the day was a huge success and Active pulled it off again another great demo and this one had no rain:-)
