Billy Marks & Eric Koston At Active

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

It seems like pro skaters are at skate shops (particularly Active) almost every other day.  I have a theory that these guys who are under contract might be like slaves.  You can’t beat corporate America.  I have noticed thought that there aren’t as many team signings though.  I think the ...
