Toy Machine Halloween Demo 2018
With Halloween right around the corner (today, actually), it was time for the annual Toy Machine/Active Halloween demo. Some of the crew may have been missing but there was no way that the OGs would let the Inland Empire down. —Ben Karpinski

But who is the mystery man?
Kickflip back board is a dead give away. What’s up, Billy?
Good and Evil A-frame sesh was starting to pop off. Charms, Smith grind
Austin Stephens caught a feeble
MB twisting up a 270 lip
Followed by a switch front feeble!
Blake blasts a kickflip in
No rail is safe when Leo’s around. Back lip
Jason Jessee and—wait, is that….
Tommy Guns!
Leo takes it up a notch, low-to-high nosegrind
Charms is back! Kickflip pivot fakie
Costumes off, time to hydrate
Did I mention the free shirts Active was printing?
Screened right on site…
…and ready in three minutes. Hot and fresh
A lot of rad costumes this year
The High Curbs!
Recognized a few songs from this year’s KOTR. Be sure to check them out
Leo approved!
Now all that was left to do was pick a winner for the costume contest
Tommy Guns was a no-brainer
