On May 5th Elephant Brand Skateboards celebrated the launch of the brand and my 25th year as a professional skateboarder on Catalina Island with a demo / ramp jam on the Wrigley Plaza Stage in Avalon and a party at the Chi Chi Club with special musical guest Ben Harper. Big thanks and MUCH LOVE to everyone who came out and supported the event especially Airwalk, Iron Fist, The Skateboard Mag and Freshpark. Here are some pics from the weekend:

At the end of the demo I gave my complete set-up to a cool little kid in the front row... That's what it's all about... Pass it on!

Little man is stoked on his one of a kind Street Axe with Dimbag graphic board.

Talk about being there entire time... This is my good friend Bill Tomesch who I've known since '86 and who is standing in the background of my shot on the August '86 cover of Thrasher. This sign is a gift he had made for me by traditional sign maker / painter Ken Johnson.
