STRUGGLE UPDATE #8

RUBEN NAJERA in Transworld Skateboarding magazine.
This is our Struggle Skateboards ad for the March 2009 issue.
This sequence is just a little taste of the technical wizardry you will be seeing from Ruben in the upcoming promo and full length video in store for the future.




We would like to give a huge apology for the missing Struggle Sunday episode this past weekend.
Struggle Sundays will be back this upcoming weekend! Things have been super crazy lately. We have tons of new events on the way. NEW product! A new website! A new video! Even a new batch of rider additions.
On top of all the crazy changes we also have a new emblem/logo. The newest Struggle ad is a fine example of the direction we are going. Also be on the lookout for the brand spanking new STRUGGLE tent we will be hauling around to all the upcoming events. Alongside with it you can look forward to our very own "Struggle Wheel" as well. Think wheel of fortune but with product prizes instead of money. There are to many new things to come from us in the future. We want you all to be a part of it. We have four more stops on the Valley Voyage tour left. Next up is Calipatria,CA for what we like to call the first ever STRUGGLE GAMES!!! Basically a bunch of fun events in one day will take place. A HIGHEST OLLIE contest, Tic Tac race, Longest nose manual in place, and a highest hippy jump contest! We figured we would try to get something way different going this time around. Its $1.00 to enter per contest but as always till the end of time FREE if you have a Struggle deck! Big thanks to all of you supporters out there.
Peep the flyer below!

TYRONE OLSON has been busy lately filming for the new "Troubleshooters" video over in the East Coast. On top of that he is heavily racking up the footage for the highly anticipated Struggle video due in the near future.

RUBEN NAJERA has been welcomed into the flow program over at S-ONE helmets. Ruben has been rocking those S-ONE foot impact insoles since forever as well.

ANTHONY JOHNSON is plagued with the snow at the moment over in Utah. But he still managed to get some pretty sweet clips for a future Struggle Sundays episode in. Be on the lookout for that sometime soon.

Rigo Soto is out at the moment with a bruised foot. He is currently hibernating and attending junior college. He will be back on his board in no time.

STRUGGLE SHOWDOWN 2008

CLICK THE FLYER TO SEE IT HUGE!!!!!!!

EVENT DETAILS BELOW:

The 2008 STRUGGLE SHOWDOWN is finally here.
This year we have three wonderful sponsors helping us out and donating a mass amount of prizes to the winners and in the product toss.
ASHBURY SUNGLASSES
DML CLOTHING
&
NATURE HARDWARE
HUGE thanks to them!! Support every one of those companies above! All of them care about the local Valley scene! Also support your local skateshop DRISCOLLS! They were awesome enough to lend us their parking lot to do this spectacular event. They have always backed us and we will always back them 100%. If you live in the Imperial Valley be sure to go by Driscolls to get all your skateboard supplies and gear.

We also have tons of different prizes from the shop that will be raffled off for $1.00.
We are talking the possibilities of leaving with a skateboard deck for a dollar. GNARLY! I know!

Also a fact not mentioned on the flyer is that the TOP 5 competitors with a STRUGGLE deck get a FREE raffle ticket as well. So even if lets say 30th place was the 5th person with a Struggle deck. That would then mean that he would leave with a raffle ticket and possibly end up winning a free deck! Pretty rad! So rep that Struggle.

And of course as mentioned on the flyer. And yes it is true. WE WILL BE SPONSORING THE WINNER!!!! If he or she chooses to accept it. We will hook them up on the team and help them get their skateboarding career to take off!!!

Prizes for the top 3
Hundreds of dollars worth of gear and product to the winners!!!

Remember this is the biggest GAME OF SKATE in the entire IMPERIAL VALLEY so bring your A game homies!!!
On top of this its also vital to mention that all matches will be chosen at random. No one will be pre set up. And there are no age limits. Nowadays even the smallest dudes are ridiculously good.

GAME RULES:

NO GRABS
NO TRICKS IN WHICH YOUR FOOT TOUCHES THE GROUND (fastplants,no complys,etc)
NO PRIMO TRICKS
NO MANUALS
NO TOE DRAGS (more lenient towards the defending side)
NO HANDS ON THE GROUND

Fingerflips are allowed if you can do them without touching the ground with your foot.

If you have any other questions feel free to E-Mail us.

Also there will probably be FREE Monster energy drinks there. Maybe some Lost energy drinks as well. And a possible Sk8mafia team signing in the morning.

Basically a full day of nothing but FUN and skateboarding. Shoot even FREE if you show up with a Struggle deck! All for the skateboarders of the Valley! Nothing but love from us to all of you! Thank you to everyone that has supported and to all the future supporters.
Big THANK YOU! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
