"The DC Promo" Video Premiere

Congratulations to Pacific Drive skateshop, who just hit the 30-years-in-business mark! They also happen to be DC shoes' first account, signing on back in '93 when the brand first started. To celebrate this milestone, as well as premiere their new video offering The DC Promo, the DC team made an appearance at the shop to sign autographs and enjoy some cold beverages with owner Jim Ranoula before heading to the DC skatepark in Carlsbad, CA. They did it right: free food and drinks, open to the public and a skate session before and after the video premiered. And let me tell you, this flick is mind blowing. All the parts were filmed in just seven months (or under). T-Funk, Wes, Evan, Tiago and the rest of the team put it down! Just wait 'til you feast your eyes on this one. —Rhino
