This one is reminiscent to the likes of Robert Redford and Brad Pitt. Or maybe Shaq and Kobe. Or perhaps even Mr. Miyagi and The Karate Kid. We’ve got the one of the dopest older skaters in Eric Koston and definitely one of the gnarliest younger skaters in Mike Mo ...

The Girl and Chocolate teams are having a “Menage A Active” on Sunday July 6th. Now now, it’s not what you think. What this is, is a one day three shop stop at Actives Brea, San Dimas, and Rancho Cucamonga. Sorry Active Chino, you didn’t make the cut. But for ...
