“AMIGOS” THE FORTIES VIDEO

Forties Original was a clothing brand out of Deluxe spearheaded by Mr. Cornhole (aka TG) in the early/ mid 90’s. Basic attire, skate inspired goods for the everyday.

RVCA | Mexico City

Located in the high plateaus in the center of Mexico is CDMX, more widely known as Ciudad de Mexico or Mexico City. As one of the oldest and most populous cities in North America it is one of the most important cultural centers in the world, bringing together an eclectic mix of food, art, music and architecture. The RVCA skate team and friends found themselves drawn there in search of diverse and untapped spots across the 16 boroughs. The days were spent exploring the city, skating, eating tacos on handmade tortillas, fresh cut fruit with chile salt and drinking hibiscus iced tea. With colorful homes along the hills, ancient cathedrals, colonial style architecture and tree lined parks, CDMX proved itself the perfect backdrop for an array of great skate spots, good times with friends and adventures they’ll never forget.
