We can’t thank all of you supporters enough. Thank you to all that came out to the 8th installment of our Valley Voyage tour in Brawley, CA. Massive THANK YOU to CVZ for helping throw in prizes! Local skateboarder Diego Najera took $52.00 in cash for first place down the stairs and also took the Gold in the “Pyramid battle”. 2nd place honors went to James Devera (pyramid) and Flippy Zendejas (stairs). 3rd place honors went to Struggle RDT rider Mariano Valenzuela (pyramid) and James Devera (stairs).
We have the Calexico Valley Voyage tour stop coming up next as well as the legendary Imperial Valley Rally contest which for those of you that aren’t familiar is a massive scavenger hunt. Both of these events will go down in May so you Imperial Valley heads be on alert. But going down first is the Calexico stop. You ready?
The "BEST 3 TRICK LINE" contest will consist of riders throwing down 3 trick lines. A trick on the rail followed by a flatground trick and one final trick on a 9ft long box. This should be real fun! Good Luck to all!
Coming up even quicker than the Calexico Valley Voyage stop is a Beat Battle we are sponsoring! Our boy G-ROCKA is the man behind the entire event. We have begun to sponsor a few musicians. Dudes that got our back and that we gladly take care of as well. We proudly endorse G-ROCKA and his journey to fame. Below is the event flyer. The biggest beat battle the Imperial Valley has ever seen will be going down. We will be throwing out a good amount of free goods, be there and catch yourself some Struggle!
Also on our list of musicians we back is 24 HOUR SUNSET who happens to be creator of our intro song on STRUGGLE SUNDAYS which you can check out on http://www.firststoke.com/
We currently have throwaway clips from Tyrone Olson and Ruben Najera posted up within the last two episodes. Check them out. Ruben’s throwaway footage features a G-ROCKA beat.

Everyday we get hundreds of emails from skateboarders around the world asking about sponsorship. Do you really have a shot at riding for us? The answer is YES!
It’s all about showing us your support. Do you really want to ride for us? Are you dedicated enough? Some kids rep it and then give up thinking nothing will come of it.
The truth is if your die hard enough and are willing to be about Struggle 100% then we got your back. For all of you out there trying to get sponsored by us keep at it. Don’t give up. The following are a group of individuals that kept at it. Day in and day out they stuck by their Struggle board and committed themselves to representing our company. They were the most motivated and dedicated. From Ohio to the Imperial Valley they range from all over the United States and fall back under one union. That union is the Struggle Skateboards Rider Development Team.
