CORE Action Takes on the Action Sports Community

Grapevine, Texas (November 21, 2008)--CORE Action has entered full-steam into the action sports social culture. Having completed its beta-stage the CORE Action website has launched revealing its edgy, gritty look and first-rate content. At the heart of COREaction.com is the Nation, an action sports community that provides a forum for enthusiasts of all ages to communicate, share and express themselves through the sports they love.

CORE Action also provides its viewers with day-to-day coverage of what's happening in the action sports world--skateboarding, snow sports, surfing, motocross, BMX and water sports are all covered highlighting the best news, events, photos and videos from each discipline. CORE also informs and entertains users with in-house video coverage, featuring one-on-one interviews with top-pros, hot on the scene action from local and national events and short entertaining vignettes to get the adrenaline pumping.

While CORE reports on what's going on in the pro scene, our real ambition is to provide a forum for the young and up-and-coming athletes to get their story out and let themselves be known. Gone are the days of sending in "sponsor-me" tapes to companies in desperate and often futile attempts to get noticed. With CORE, the athlete can log-on to the Nation and post a bio, videos and photos in an effort to promote themselves within the community. CORE's main objective is to support the sport's underdogs and amateurs and to forge lasting partnerships within our member network as we grow into the future.

"Not only do we provide up-to-date original content, but we do it in a safe environment where kids are protected and can be among their peers." Kent Holcomb, President of CORE Action explains, "We closely follow the COPPA laws which protect underage kids from predators and mature content."

Nick Moscia CORE Action Marketing Director agrees, "We're all about reaching out to the action sports community. For us, it's about the kids. This is a place where they can hang out, chat with friends and check out the latest videos, news and events."

The CORE staff comes from within the action sports culture--skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, BMX and motocross. From the slopes of the Rocky Mountains to waves of Cocoa Beach, Florida, the CORE crew are embedded in their prospective scenes. Preserving the culture and empowering riders to enjoy their sports and to reach full potential is our objective at CORE Action.

CORE Philosophy--Within every discipline of action sports lay a CORE group of people. They are the ones pushing the boundaries and limits on a daily basis. CORE riders raise the bar and create new standards for the rest to follow. They are the epicenter of the Industry and help keep our Culture alive and thriving. These devoted folks eat, drink and sleep the sport which they are true to and willingly make sacrifices to keep the ride going. Living a CORE lifestyle defines these individuals and establishes a place for them in this world...

CORE Action was founded in 2007 and is an internet-based action sports community which specializes in social networking and providing premium action sports related content. For more information go to www.COREaction.com.

Q and A with Bruce Treby

20 Questions with Bruce Treby
 

Questions Asked By Vaughn Whynot

Answers by Bruce Treby

Photos by Scott McClellan

 

State Your Name, Age & current Location you are at?

Bruce Treby, 21, and I live in Little Harbour, NS

 

How’s she going?

Things are going great! I’m healthy, back in school and skating as much as I can when the weather is good. It’s been raining for almost a month straight now.

 

So Bruce when you were a kid, what made you start skaten?

I started skating when I was in grade 7 cause I seen a few older guys doing it and it looked fun. I tried it once and was hooked!

 

Who did you look up to when growing up (pros, People)?

I mostly looked up to the local guys but for pros I really like Deawon Song and Jamie Thomas

 

So who are your sponsors these days…and how did this happen, where you a video-tape kid or did they find you?

I ride for Homegrown Skateboards and Ipath Footwear.  Homegrown just kinda found me and I got hooked up with Ipath after “The Burning Whale Project” was released.

 

It must have been fun filming parts for the Homegrown Video. Do you have an interesting story from the whole time filming?

Yeah, I had a great time filming. I’d say the most interesting story from the whole thing is that I was working 6 days a week and filming only after work and on Sundays. It made it interesting, especially when we had to drive a few hours to some spots. All in all it was a great time!

 

Hey Treby, do you mind me calling you Treby; do you have any hobbies besides skating?

Everyone calls me Treby, even my girlfriend does too! When I’m not skating I’m usually snowboarding or causing trouble for someone.

 

What are you views on the harassment skater get from, police, bikers/bladders and local mouths? Have you ever encountered arguments or fight because of being a skater?

I’m so sick of getting razzed and harassed by the police and other “authority figures”. I mean sure their doing a job but this whole helmet law thing has gone too far. I can’t count the number of times I’ve been kicked out of spots as soon as I roll up. I haven’t gotten in a fight but there have been some close calls.

 

Do you still believe skaten is about roots or is it something else these days?

I like to think skating is about roots but every little kid always asks who you’re sponsored by or if you’re pro or am and how could they get sponsored. I think a lot of kids are skating for the wrong reasons these days.

 

So anything coming up these days with you (mags, videos, new product) or you keeping low?

I’ve been keeping it pretty low key this year. It was a pretty rough one for injuries.

 

I saw that footy of your bail….your a real trooper for getting back into the scene, I also heard you where more worried for your tattoo then your body, what was you thinking?

That was a rough little patch for me but I’m good to go now. Yeah I didn’t realize how serious it was until after the surgery but your right. I was worried bout my tattoo. I went back to the rail and cut the kink off to keep it for a trophy and decided to try it again and slammed on my face. Lost a tooth and knocked myself clean out. I didn’t know who anyone was or what happened for a good 10 or 15 minutes. Needless to say I’m not going back…lol

 

Here are a few simple questions, Fav AM this year?

Ryan Decenzo                                                                       

 

Fav Pro?

Jereme Rogers, He’s so well rounded on everything.

 

Last Skate Video you watched?

DVS skate more

 

Last Mag you read or book?

I haven’t had time for anything but school work….

 

Biggest Fear?

Not scared anymore. I already lost a tooth skating…might get one for Christmas though!

 

Trick you’re stoked on? Trick your trying to get down?

Pretty much anything on a rail. And I’ve been trying to get tre flips…..

 

Saying over used?

Do you think Skate Style is Important, and is this g-unit and/or emo getting out of hand?

 

Thanks for your time…hope to see you kick'in around the area around here. Any last words or props for anyone? P.S. Did you see the Hali-Park, She’s looking sexy.

Thanks to Jesse at Homegrown, Shayne and Mike at S & J for the Ipath gear, Brad Macdonald, Travis Francis, Scott Maclellan and everyone else I’ve forgotten you know who you are.

Q&A With Ted De Gros

With Vaughn Whynot 

1^st of all Ted, I would like to thank you on doing this Q&A with me for the fact as I am a fan of yours since you was a am on santa Cruz...and now your pro...that’s crazy. I feel honoured in doing this because it will show that pros are normal guys just skating for the fact of...well skateboarding…I will also keep this quick and easy because you must be very busy these days. So let’s begin.

 

 

VW - How’s life mate, just for the record state your name and your sponsors, also your hometown?

 

TDG - Hey. My name is Ted de Gros. I’m sponsored by Santa Cruz, Lakai, Indy and momentum. Life’s good, I’ve been in Santa Cruz for the last few months. Enjoying the weather and trying to learn to surf.

 

 

VW - I been seeing a lot of you in mags these days… which one was you more stoked about?

 

TDG - My favourite interview in the last couple years was in Transworld. I think it was 06 sometime. I got lucky and managed to shoot all the tricks in a few days. I didn’t really plan any of the tricks so it was a bonus.

 

 

VW - Your Parts In “Get Tricks Or Die Tryin'” And “Yesterday’s Future”, which was your fav places to skate in your parts and out of everyone else in that video…who did you get more stoked off of?

 

TDG - I don’t think I had a part in digital. I may have had some tricks in it. I was definitely in yesterday’s future though. I’ve been to a lot of really good spots but they’re really scattered. Barcelona is one of my favourite places to skate because I’m always so stoked just to be there that skating is funnier. The spots are amazing too. Texas is good. Florida and North Carolina. L.A. is really good but the driving is ridiculous. Vancouver is fun for me. All the homies. As far as other peoples parts in Yesterday’s future, Dermer was fun to watch. He didn’t have a lot of time but he was always stoked to go film for it. Carl Labelle is rad to skate with too. He loves skating the same way.   Dickson’s part was awesome. Gianmarco was rad too. He’s awesome to watch skate live. He’s got a lot of heart and likes to charge at shi*t. 

 

 

VW - So now that you’re pro with Santa Cruz, what varies or differentiates from being an am?

 

TDG - Your pay is better and you get to see your name on a board. Other than everything feels the exact same. Your work and responsibilities are the same. Always gotta work for it.

 

 

VW - What is one trick that you are loving these days and which ones are you hating?

 

TDG - I’m loving mannys these days. I never took the time until the last couple years. I’ve always loved Rodney and Daewon but I thought I couldn’t do that stuff. It’s worth a try.   I hate three flips because my trucks are too tight.

 

 

VW - What’s your fav spot in Canada…and outside of Canada?

 

TDG - Everywhere in Canada is awesome but one of them is all the little islands that separate Vancouver from Vancouver Island. Saltspring, Galliano, Cortes. Number one place is Thormanby Island though. Only cause my family has had a cabin their for a few generations.

 

 

VW - What are your views on the helmet law in Canada?

 

TDG - What helmet law? Nobody out west has to wear helmets unless they just changed that.  In Santa Cruz you’re supposed to wear a helmet at the park. I bring mine and only put it on if the park ranger comes around. Works well.

 

 

VW - One trick you wish you had on lock down?

 

TDG - 1080 flips

 

 

VW - Craziest road trip?

 

TDG - The long ones across America with alien workshop were the craziest. Not in a good way though. Super stressful.  The best ones were the mad dashes. I don’t know who knows about or remembers those now. Geoff Dermer, Sean Sayles and maybe Kelly Bergman were the brains behind those.  I think Jon Engle might have helped with the later ones. It was a bunch of guys from Vancouver that would tour the western half of Canada and do demos for no apparent reason. They were the shi*t. There was little to no budget and we’d just go stay on shop-owner’s floors most if not all the time.   It wasn’t a corporate style trip. Just skating for the hell of it. The people who owned the shops were so rad. They were the best hosts. They’d have house parties for us and show us the best time we’d ever had.   Glenn Suggitt threw down when we stayed there. Best dude ever. I think it was guy at ruins in Prince George, he threw an awesome party. I can’t remember the lady’s name in red deer but she ruled.

 

 

VW - an Am and pro that gets you pumped?

 

TDG - Jack Lalane gets me pumped. Emeril too.

 

 

VW - Well thanks Ted for doing this for me and the skate scene of the world. Any last words and shout outs?

 

TDG - No problem. Thanks as well.

When I first got out of high school, I had no idea what I wanted to do beside snowboarding nor nor did I know where I wanted to be careerwise within the next 10 years. So, I kept snowboarding, went to college and studied what most of the people study: marketing... and I got out of college and still had no idea what I wanted to do.
