This is one of our longest news posts ever! So much has been going on lately it's been crazy!
First off and starting with a bang. STRUGGLE skateboards Am DIEGO NAJERA officially has a FKD bearings TRIPLE THREAT video commercial feature. 360 flip crooks? Wasn't that the big banger in Street Dreams the movie? Diego did it on this massive ledge in less than 3 tries!
Diego also landed the cover of the RedBull video from the Triple Set contest they threw in Del Mar recently. Check out the epic photo! And video following it. As far as the contest went Diego killed it and we feel he got robbed from the win. We shit you not Diego did a 360 flip nosegrind on the round rail during the contest! How did that not get ranked top 3?
Here is 1 of many videos on the contest Check the bottom of the page for some more.

On a side note of unfortunate events DIEGO NAJERA recently suffered a broken arm while getting some footage in San Diego,Ca. It is confirmed that he will need some plates put into his arm which just goes to show how bad the break was. Diego is one of the gnarliest skateboarders to ever step foot on a board. We wish him the best and a speedy recovery. His part in the "SWORN" video is going to be mind exploding!
