Ryan Townley Welcomed to Liberty Boardshop

Liberty Boardshop Introduces Ryan Townley from Jordan Friesen on Vimeo.

Liberty Boardshop’s got quite the team, so you know when they add someone knew, that person is up to snuff. Take a peak at the latest addition to the team in this welcome video for Ryan Townley.

Joining Boo Johnson on the Mountain Dew Skateboarding team is Justin Schulte. See what makes Justin such a beast and watch as Paul Rodriguez personally welcomes him to the team.

As the first 2nd-generation pro in skateboarding history (dad Steve was named Skater of the Year in 1978), Alex was raised on the classics of style, power and flow. Coming up during a time when many skaters were obsessed with extreme technicality and counting stairs, Alex carved out a name for himself on board by balancing timeless standards with the only the best of the modern skateboarding, executing across all terrains with natural grace and command.

Also known for his creative sensibilities, sarcastic humor, and attention to detail, Alex brings more than just great skateboarding to the table. He embodies the approach of a cultured skater who projects personal style in all aspects of their lives. As such, Alex has signed with Nike Skateboarding apparel as well as footwear, and will be working closely with both.

Dickies officially entered the skate game a bit ago with a team of raw rippers like Tom Grom, K Terps and Vincent Alvarez. Now they announce Jim Greco’s addition to the squad with this video where he’s the anchor and explains why the pants are so appropriate for skateboarding.

It comes as no surprise that a brand like Dickies would want to enter our little realm, but it’s odd that they’d choose to do it now instead of say…ever before?

Perhaps they’re taking a cue from brands like Carhartt that have full teams and have been putting on contests and other miscellaneous events throughout Europe for the past ten years or so and are now finally spilling over into The States (IE 5Boro x Carhartt collab).

Or maybe with American Retailers such as Sears and K Mart tanking into bankruptcy and closing up shop around the country, Dickies saw that we’re a big part of their target market and they could get to us directly by putting together a skate program and having the product in actual skate shops where a pair of $25 pants at full price seems a lot softer on the wallet than some alternatives.

Skateboarders are going to wear Dickies no matter what. Guys with clothing sponsors still buy them for shit’s sake. We have been wearing their product for a long time now, so it’s nice to see them finally hooking up some of our guys and getting them on the pay roll. Levi’s, Ben Davis, and Hanes White Ts, the ball is in your court now.

Theeve Trucks welcomes Benny Fairfax to the team with this banger of a video.

Its a Strange Notes submission, a video of straight rippin’ Rollin on Santa Cruz Skateboards, he’s the new team addition. Doin’ what’s never been done, with an ill style son. Its the Shuriken week and baby we bout to have us some fun.

It is with great pleasure that Positiv Skateboards welcomes Fabrizio Santos to the team. Whenever you see “The Breeze” on his skateboard, he’s always got a smile on his face. He is the perfect complement to a team of riders that embody the fun and positivity that is skateboarding. Positiv Skateboards is Andy Macdonald, Sandro Dias, Rodney Jones, and Fabrizio Santos.

After a minute of being off Lakai, Jeff Lenoce has found a home with the homies at Axion Footwear!

Chris “Mango” Milic has a new welcome video for his addition to Welcome Skateboards.

WELCOME Skateboards Proudly welcomes Chris “Mango” Milic to the team.

Mango’s fierce competitive spirit, lust for X-Games gold and keen sense of all the hottest skate fashions made him our number 1 target join the WELCOME team. He pretty much embodies what WELCOME is all about. i think we all can expect great things from Mr. Milic!
