  The Salt Lake Demo ended with the best product give away situation I’ve seen to date. First up a push up contest, last one going gets the board.
• 

  Even Rickk and Eldy wanted in on the action! Casey would make a very effective cult leader.
• 

  Backwards race up the bank. Pure comedy.
• 

  These parents were stoked!
• 

  These guys are such demo machines they had to keep it going by the van. Elijah reenacts his greatest hits for the kids.
• 

  Human Hippie Jumps!
• 

  You ok big dawg?
• 

  Koston ended it with a free swing clinic for all the golf fans in attendance.
• 

  Then it was on to the SLC nightlife. It started out mellow.
• 

  Then Rickk took it up a notch.
• 

  Koston tried to kick it into high gear.
• 

  And before you know it…
• 

  “This happens every time you try to hang with the kids, Rickk.”
• 

  The next morning it was time to drive to Denver. First we had to film a quick “where’s my ID rap video”.
• 

  Then Cory and Elijah tried to get in on Carroll’s exercise regimen.
• 

  It’s a great team building exercise as well.
• 

  On the way to Denver the Coalatree guys invited us over to their ranch for a BBQ. Paradise.
• 

  MJ was born for this shit.
• 

  Locals.
• 

  The mini-ramp session was firing! Serendipitous doubles with Mike and Elijah. The ramp was rad enough to bring Carroll out of retirement!
• 

  Raven blasts while Mo eats.
• 

  “Enough with the surprise photo shoots!”
• 

  Cory is going to be in the next X-Games vert contest. Watch.
• 

  Still got it! MC.
• 

  Sick place to stand, Cory.
• 

  Meanwhile Eldy was filling out an application to move in.
• 

  Then as the sun went down and it started to get cold, Cory decided it was a perfect time to take on the rapids.
• 

  On ramp.
• 

  See you in Denver, Cory.
• 

  Ended the day with some solid country living.
• 

  “You sure you know what you’re doing Mike?”
• 

  Rick and Beebs by the fire.
• 

  Time to get back in the van. Thanks for an epic day Coalatree! Next stop, Denver….

• 

  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…

Puerto Rico was way too fun for just one video. Here’s a much lower quality one for your time-wasting pleasure.

• 

  A couple of weeks ago we had a meeting at Cory and Elijah’s house to talk about a top secret video project. When we got there Cory was already filming. That has to be a good sign.
• 

  Aside from the Trunks we had a heavy managerial presence on hand. (Making high powered phone deals no doubt.)
• 

  Vinnie is off the wheeling machine and walking around! He’s gonna be killing it in no time. Snake was there for creative input too.
• 

  Stevie always finds the most comfortable seat in the house.
• 

  Eli thinking deep thoughts while Vinnie, Stevie and a Bear take in the footy.
• 

  These guys had some pretty funny shit on tape.
• 

  Before we adjourned Carroll had to handle the social media duties. You’ve probably already seen this on Vine, Instagram and Snapchat.
• 

  You can’t have a skate video meeting without some skating. We broke out the ramps and Elijah and Guy went to work.
• 

  The guys started out mellow.
• 

  Then Elijah started pulling out the big guns. Serious Judo.
• 

  This is a make.
• 

  Guy took it personal and decided to show the kids how they used to do it. 360 Saran Wrap! (that’s probably not even labeled right.)
• 

  Rick even got involved in the action. Elijah went Evel Kinevil over him.
• 

  Then Guy shut it down. If this was a jump ramp video we’d be done already.
