New Emerica Pro: Justin Regan!

While ex-Emerica brand manager Justin Regan knew he was heading out for a romantic dinner with his wife, little did he know a secret surprise party was brewing courtesy of Emerica, Club Mumble and The Skateboard Mag.

All Emerican Royalty had gathered at downtown LA's Wurstküche to celebrate the Emerica-turned-Altamont brand manager's 36th birthday. In addition, and unbeknownst to many, he'd be presented with his first Emerica pro-model shoe, designed in secret and months in the making. Click HERE to see more.

Emerica Summer

Emerica Wild in the Streets - Canada

Emerica’s Wild in the Streets main event goes international for the first time! The Emerica team will be heading up to Vancouver, BC, Canada for Go Skateboarding Day on June 21, 2009, for Wild in the Streets. This year, Wild in the Streets will benefit LeeSide , the underground DIY skatepark that Vancouver skateboarder and artist Lee Matasi envisioned and began creating before his untimely death. Lee was shot and killed in 2005, but lives on through LeeSide.

An Emerican army consisting of a few thousand skateboarders will charge the streets of Vancouver during the Wild in the Streets 2009. Emerica is hosting the event this year to raise awareness about Lee Matasi, to raise money to help LeeSide continue to grow, and to support the Vancouver skateboarding community. Emerica will be selling t-shirts and all funds raised during the event will go toward the construction of new obstacles for LeeSide.

The event will also be taking place in Toronto, Ottawa, and Quebec.

In case you need another reason to head to Vancouver, the Emerica team will be making an appearance at Underworld on Saturday, June 20th at 2:00 p.m., followed by a session at LeeSide with the entire team.

I Love Leeside

Benefiting Leeside, available at Wild in the Streets Vancouver.

WITS more info

Main Event goes international for the first time! The Emerica team will be heading up to Vancouver, BC, Canada for Go Skateboarding Day on June 21, 2009, and Wild in the Streets. This year, Wild in the Streets will benefit Leeside, the DIY skatepark that Lee Matasi started in Vancouver. Lee was shot and killed in 2005 and Leeside is an extension of his dream. Meet at the Downtown Skate Plaza at 1pm, bring your skateboard and we go from there! Everybody welcome! Join the Facebook event HERE. The goal of Wild in the Streets is to build community & raise awareness of skateboarding and the needs of skateboarders. It is our hope that Wild in the Streets will someday take on the character of a large-scale, decentralized grassroots movement for the benefit of skateboarders everywhere. We believe in the ability of skateboarders to empower themselves to do great things. Be a part of something amazing, or better yet, create your own amazing event. See Vancouver’s 2008 Wild In The Streets HERE and on YouTube HERE. Meet at Downtown Skate Plaza at 1pm and go from there.

Braydon Playing Cards !

Not to many (if any) pro skateboarders have there own playing cards but because Braydon enjoys some occasional card play Emerica has come out with a pack of Braydon Szafranski playing cards. It may be time to retire your old 4,5,6 roll playing antics but i'll leave that up to you. Grab a deck of these if you can allthough I'm sure they will be fairly limited to get your hands on a set, Braydon's a 7 card stud and for sure on the Shuffle. When it comes to Braydon and emerica we here at Timebomb are All In ! 

P.S. thanks to Kelsey our warranty wonder for displaying the cards.

The Shifter

The Shifter is a motorcycle boot-inspired mid-top skate shoe by Emerica featuring a full grain high-quality leather outer, a heel-to-toe leather inner lining, a gypsy pattern tongue label, a sweet heel strap and no tread on the heel for increased durability. This sleek and versatile shoe is perfect for both skating and for anything afterwards, shipping Fall 2008.

Bring It To The Streets

"Renting a bus and packing it full of hungry skaters is a good idea, but taking them all over the Greater Vancouver area to skate the cities finest spots with 1000$ to give away is pretty special. We packed 30 skaters and some photographers, filmers and other lurkers in and definitely brought it to the streets. Richmond Bump was the first spot, which lead us to the Richmond banks- also the perfect Marine Drive manual pad. We spent 30 minutes at each spot, so it gave everyone enough time to try and make those pockets a little fatter. From Richmond, B.C, we headed back into the Downtown Core for some perfect Sunday Spots. The rain crept in at Scotia Bank ledge and so we headed up to the Art Gallery for the final spot/money give away. I don't know what was better though- watching them skate the 8 set in the rain or the monster chugging/puking/whipping war. MVP awards to Boyd Young, Spencer Hamilton, Mike aka Hashbrown, Jordan Murray, Stacey Gabriel and Desmond Hoostie. I think everyone walked away with some money though. Thanks to everyone else who came and skated, supported and had fun. To all the sponsors and filmers and photographers- thank you. Can't wait to do it again next year. Peace." - JN

Skate & Create

A few months ago, Emerica was invited to participate in a Transworld Skateboarding “contest” called Skate & Create. Kevin “Spanky” Long, Braydon Szafranski, Leo Romero, Bryan Herman, and MVP Brandon Westgate spent 9 days in a warehouse, and created an environment that represented Emerica through video and photography, WITHOUT the use of any photo-shop or artificial photo manipulation.

What resulted was a brilliantly creative video..
