Santa Cruz Skateboards Vets Division riders Eric Dressen, Tom Knox and Jason Jessee have been working the days and nights away on putting together an amazing movie called "V-day" which showcases some radical, never before seen skate footage, interviews and much more. Newest Vets Divison Teammate, Keith Meek, will have some mind blowing footy iin V-Day as well! Due out in November but kind of depends how long it takes to knock the dust off all the old video reels. They already have tons of new footy but findin' that old skool stuff has been tricky.
Check the trailer below or Click Here!

Here are some photos of Knox and Dressen on their recent trip up North... gathering more content for the movie.
Entering Washington.. as the sign states

They both look sooooo entranced on something... maybe a sweet spot? Gotta see the movie to find out

SANTA CRUZ SKATEBOARDS KEITH MEEK ENLISTED TO THE VETERANS DIVISION
Santa Cruz Skateboards is pleased to announce the addition of Keith Meek, a.k.a. “the Slasher” to the Veterans Division Team.

"Stoked to be back on board even though I never really left!” - Keith Meek.

Meek was one of the early backyard pool pioneers that helped put Santa Cruz on the map with a timeless style that earned him the “Slasher” namesake and his original Phillips “Slasher” graphic which is still one of the most recognized graphics ever produced by Santa Cruz.

His new Vets Division model, “Arachne” will debut at the September ASR Tradeshow in San Diego. But take a peep right now:

Look for some rare footage of Keith coming out in the new Santa Cruz video titled “V-Day” which traces the influence and contributions of Santa Cruz Vets Eric Dressen, Tom Knox, Jason Jessee to the skateboarding community. Coming soon Meek’s web page & bio on
