The East Coast Tour came to a close with a great demo and signing in Frederick, MD. The day started at Pit Crew with a massive signing, and ended at the skate park with a demo. Thanks to Muska’s encouragement, the skies parted ways after a short rain, and the Element team killed it. Check out video and photos from the day that includes Bam Margera, Chad Muska, Levi Brown, Mike V, Collin Provost, Chad Tim Tim and Darrell Stanton.

Chapter One – “Wind” – Now Playing!

Proudly presenting Chapter One – “Wind”

wind-select1

MAKE IT COUNT is a four-part documentary, which showcases Element’s defining moments and delves into its compelling story. From its humble beginnings, to a forward thinking global brand, this film covers two decades of stories and imagery.


In creating Chapter 1 of 4, “WIND” I followed Johnny Schillereff (Element founder & president) and dug into his history, interviewing the very people that have shaped his life and the company. The opening and closing sequences give you a small taste of the diverse community of people interviewed for the entire project, topics covered, and nostalgia that was un-earthed.


Each chapter of MAKE IT COUNT will be release on the 1st of each month:

WIND – August 1st, 2009

WATER – September 1st, 2009

FIRE – October 1st, 2009

EARTH – November 1st, 2009


Thanks for watching,
