Back in June the whole crew went on a good old fashioned demo tour across the US to hype up the Pretty Sweet video. You can read a real article about it in the new Thrasher that’s out now, and there’s gonna be a bunch of video episodes on their site. Here’s a bunch of photos that weren’t in the article. This is our posse when we set sail. Not too shabby.
Professional survival kit. Ready to go.
Our first stop was at Active out in Rancho Cucamonga. The dudes killed the demo but the best trick was Cory stealing the giant skateable shark head and ripping around with it.
The kids loved it.
After the demo we had our first of many 4 hour signings. Here’s Eric with the first Elijah defacing of the tour.
Beebs is down for the fans. Shotgun at the signing? Why not!
Another satisfied customer.
When you have a couple hour demo, followed by a four hour signing that ends around midnight, the van ride ends up feeling kind of like this. For full effect stare at this photo for 5 hours and play Chief Keef on repeat as loud as possible. “I can’t stay sober.”
Before our signing in Vegas we got a couple hours of street skating in. Human knee bone at the spot? No biggie.
Malto has a very eclectic fan base.
Seriously. Everybody loves this guy.
The guys aren’t scared to fan out on each other. Raven got his baby Carroll shirt signed by middle aged Carroll.
Elijah’s having a show at New Image gallery this December. Look out Tempster!
Then it was on to Salt Lake City for more action. Try and figure out who’s wearing this Batman mask.
Cory showing off some pre-signing stretch techniques in Salt Lake. Gotta stay limber for these things.
Pre-signing fishbowl. Mandatory.
The non-smoking guy pretending to smoke thing never gets old. Meza hitting that shit.
I’ll never understand this one.
Demo time. Everybody killed it again. The demos on this trip were really good. Raven blasting.
Malto, small kickflip.
A real life SLC Punk! This jacket rips. More to come next week…
