On Friday, December 2nd, Element and Elemental Awareness teamed up with the WLCAC in Watts, CA for a day of art and skateboarding.

Element Advocates Mike Kershnar and Todd Francis were there to help the kids create their very own hand painted board which they were able to keep. Afterward,  Element team riders Nyjah Huston, Mark Appleyard, and Ray Barbee skated with kids at the recently built skatepark.

Elemental Awareness would like to thank the WLCAC,  Create-A-Skate, Vitamin Water, and Kind Snacks for helping make this event great… See you next year!

Elemental Awareness hit the road to visit their friends on the Apache, Flathead, and Navajo reservations, where they were able to skate with the kids, and connect on a larger level…

Through the CHANGING LIVES THROUGH SKATEBOARDING program, they were able to give away more than 100 pairs of shoes, 50 skateboards and tons of other product. Needless to say, the kids were hyped and received some much needed gear.

Long time Element Skate Camp family member, Brett Nichols, recently journeyed to Timor – Leste to do some good, and spread the love of skateboarding to parts of the world with little to no exposure to the lifestyle. He was hosted by the non profit association Bafuturu which is doing its best to steer the youth of Timor away from violence and fighting towards more positive outlets for their energy like skateboarding.  Click here for more information on the project.
