He also just got back from the ASR tradeshow where he did an autograph signing at the Snuggbuds boothe. And talks of his own custom signature Peter Grimm hat are in the works. Cant wait to see that.


-AMS-
For the first time I can fill this Am section out because we officially welcomed our first AM to the squad. DIEGO NAJERA from El Centro,CA is officially riding STRUGGLE SKATEBOARDS. Known to many as the younger brother of our very own Ruben Najera. We are proud to welcome the little ripper back on the squad to his home were he truly belongs. As he says himself. Theres nothing like family. Look for a welcome video part out soon and not to mention a full part in the Struggle video "Sworn" which is due for release the second we get all this music rights tension out of the way. Diego's got an AM SLAM SUN DIEGO contest tomorrow best of luck to him.

Our very own Tommy Reis has a zesty video clip up on his bio finally give it a peep when you get a chance. That rail is NO JOKE! Props Tommy. Props.
