John Rattray is the 3rd of 4 new pros on Sun Diego. Rattray is pretty much unmatched when it comes to all-terrain shredability. And he happens to be one of the more sensible fellows out there, living by the mantra “If you can make it through the night all the way to daybreak without committing suicide, you’re okay.†That pretty much sums it up, don’t it? Very stoked to have John Rattray riding for Sun Diego.
John joins Dan Drehobl, Anthony Van Engelen, Clint Peterson, and Greg Lutzka as the first 5 pros with 1 more name to be announced next week. STAY TUNED..

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:-)
