Actions REALized : Apache
“Douglas Miles and his son Doug Jr. along with the Apache Skate Crew have been holdin it down in the desert on the San Carlos Reservation for years. Doug’s art has been a vehicle for the crew to travel and spread the gospel – skateboarding – from tribe to tribe. This is just a drop in the tank to keep the crew going… To keep fighting the good fight. Honored to have his art on a REAL board.”

2 Days in SF with Nate Viands, Dennis Busenitz & Jafin Garvey
Nate Viands spent 2 day in SF for the release of his Actions REALized board and stacked up over 2 minutes of footage… not bad for a 7 year old. Check out what 48 hours of skating with Dennis Busenitz and Jafin Garvey looks like for Nate.
Keith Hufnagel : Roll Forever ’05
“I first met Keith on a Deluxe demo in Santa Cruz. I got flown out from Oklahoma straight to a demo. Shit was surreal. Keith’s skating is powerful and graceful. Dude has so much pop and skill, two really good attributes to have in your bag.
Filming for Roll Forever were some of the best times of my life. I was just a teenager still learning how to skate but I was just hucking my life away off any gaps or stairs and trying my luck on handrails. Traveling the States with the coolest posse.
Riding for REAL while Roll Forever was being filmed was like seeing REAL kinda in rebuild mode. Adding a few new kids on the team, and a few older guys started new company’s. Looking back at that time, I guess REAL planted a new seed and now that bitch has flourished to say the least!”

Rob ‘Sluggo’ Boyce : The REAL Video ’93
Rob ‘Sluggo’ Boyce was one of the first riders on REAL.
He pushed technical vert skateboarding and barfed after every contest run. On REAL’s 1st tour in Europe, Sluggo, Max and Salman blindly continued on after TG and Jim both got injured. The fact that he and the crew didn’t have a credit card or know hardly anyone set the tone for how we / REAL would approach every tour and trip since. Go out, embrace the road and all it brings, give it your all and have fun with it.
Sluggo continues to push skateboarding and will always be a family member. We love you Rob.
Actions REALized : Nate Viands – REALentless
Our journey with Nate Viands started over 3 years ago when his Dad Scott reached out to REAL after Nate was diagnosed with Leukemia a few months before his 4th birthday.
Nate couldn’t play normal sports with other kids because of the shared germs that could be life threatening to his weakened immune system. Scott, who had grown up skating in Philly but had been off the board for over a decade, thought he could use skateboarding as a way for them both to take their minds off the rigorous cancer treatments. A quick trip to Exit Skateshop and Nate has been skating relentlessly ever since…
A simple ‘Thank You for making a board small enough for my son’ message has grown into a friendship with the Viands family that REAL wouldn’t trade for anything.
REAL flew Nate out to SF to surprise him with a new Actions REALized board to raise money for The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Needless to say he skated non-stop the entire time.
See all the photos from his trip to SF as well as the LTD REALentless Board and Shirt, benefiting the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia on https://actionsrealized.com.
Don’t stop pushing Nate. Just take a break once and awhile, you’re making the rest of the team look bad…
