Watch Levi Brown, Bucky Lasek and Darrell Stanton explain the different constructions Element has to offer.

Mike Vallely has been offline for about a year now, but now is back and ready for the New Year with his new blog and website. Mike V has been all over the media with his new iPhone App Do or Die, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Myspace and a new TV series by Fuel called Drive. So buckle your seat belts with Mike V and follow his old school ways across the country! Don’t forget you can always buy Element Mike Vallely Skateboard Decks at Warehouse Skateboards.

Yes, Mike Vallely has an iPhone game now! Don’t know if you can pick fights in this game, but the controls are supposedly unreal. The Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 game for the iPhone wasn’t necessarily the full skateboarding game which people were hoping for. Mike V’s game is the real deal with dope 3D graphics and a new insane finger swiping control system for doing tricks.  Check out the videos below.

Warehouse Skateboards just got in a ton of new Element Decks! We also have the new Flatlight Construction in stock.

Online Premiere August 1st at elementskateboards.com. Watch and Download for free! You can’t beat that.

Element Skateboards announced the release date of their behind-the-scenes story, “Make it Count: The Element Story.” The full-length movie will feature Element’s defining moments from the beginning to their current position as a “forward-thinking global brand.”

The video will be available free on the Element site on August 1. You can check out archived footage, outtakes, and more information at the video’s official blog.

For every TOMS + Element skateboard purchased, Element gives a skateboard to a child outside of Durban, South Africa to provide refuge from the dangerous areas in which they live.

TOMS was created with a singular mission — to make life more comfortable. In addition to the TOMS + Element skateboard, they offer a line of shoes with the same concept. For every pair purchased, they donate a pair to a child in need. You buy a pair of TOMS shoes or a TOMS + Element skateboard, and a child receives one.

For more information on this project, visit Element One for One or TOMS shoes.
