Arbor Skateboards team rider Tyler Howell is one dedicated SOB. Check out his buttboarding follow run to capture James Kelly on the new 2013 Vugenhausen. He sacrificed his body in attempt to get the shot. Tyler is killing it!

Arbor Snowboards regional team rider, Mike Gray threw down at Snowboarder Magazine’s Superpark 16 last May and the footage was never released. In anticipation of Superpark 17 kicking off, we decided it was time for this lost footage to hit the internet. Get pumped, the Arbor Team is about to lay siege to Mount Bachelor, Oregon again this May for Superpark 17!

With just enough direction, the crew manages to meet up with Zarosh Eggleston in the sticks of Central California. An hour of dirt roads later, and they’re at his ranch enjoying his DIY spot, the relaxed lifestyle, and the local watering hole. The crew grabs some speed runs on an access road to a very wealthy community not keen on skateboarding, and takes a dip before the pilgrimage north begins again.

Many thanks to Zarosh Eggleston, and the awesome community of Cachagua.

Appearances by James Kelly, Kody Noble, Duke Degen, Casey Morrow, Max Myers, Jimmy Riha, Eric Singer, Tyler Howell, Adam Crigler, and Kelly Carter.

Usually when we drop a new Adam Crigler video, he’s ripping up New York so we decided to get him out of his element and bring him to sunny SoCal and the big city on the West Coast that is Los Angles. This Spot Check features Crigler slashing around the LA area with his favorite urban destroyer… the Arbor Catalyst. This one will make you want to go skate the streets of a big city near you.

The van moves on, and so does the Arbor Skateboards team. Moving up through Central California, the boys take advantage of a secret driveway, a well known ramp right on the beach, and cap it off with some serious speed runs.

Appearances by James Kelly, Kody Noble, Duke Degen, Casey Morrow, Max Myers, Jimmy Riha, Eric Singer, Tyler Howell, Adam Crigler, and Kelly Carter.
