We’ve all had that amazing skate dream where everything feels so easy and light. Tricks that you had only seen in videos are happening effortlessly under your feet. You’re getting high fives from your favorite pros as you ride away from hazy El Toro’s and Mega Ramps with a drowsy smile on your face. CCS Apparel ambassador William Spencer has a different kind of skate dream, and that’s why he always sleeps prepared in his CCS Chinos. The best part is that they’re so stretchy and comfortable that he probably thought he was naked.
CCS Welcomes David Gravette
David Gravette showed up in the skateboard world as a wispy little boy who jumped on the biggest rails you’d ever seen. Since then David has grown in to one of the most recognizable pros in our industry, and in between all the rails, kinks and backflips (yeah, backflips…), David has managed to leave his mark on a few contests and has become one of the household names over at Creature Skateboards. Now CCS welcomes him to their Pro Team!!!

Brimley Bachelor Party
What do you get when you take 25 skaters, a whole lot of beverages, a party bus, and an exotic dancer to a hand full of skate parks? One amazing bachelor party! Longtime Brimley Skateboards rider Peter Vlad tied the knot last weekend in Arizona, so we cruised down to catch some of the festivities. Have a few before watching this edit so you can feel like you were a part of the magic!
Ben Raybourn And Friends At Nike SB Park

Nike SB GTS Wear Test with Antonio Durao
Nike SB shoes span the entire spectrum from the highest of tech to the most basic and clean. The GTS has a mellow look with all the same comfort and durability that you have come to expect from Nike. The canvas is tough as hell, so you’re not going to have a canvas experience like anything you have dealt with before, and the SB soles will keep your feet floating on cloud nine (stair). Yeah that was a bad joke, deal with it. We hit up Nike rider Antonio Durao to put these GTS shoes to the test for us and we gotta say, they look good. Any shoe you can pull out of the box and stomp a hubba dead with have our seal of approval.
