Geoff Rowley and Mark Appleyard have decided to part ways with Active Mail
Order
Geoff says:
"As of immediately, I am no longer able to endorse Active mail order as
a team rider. Differences of opinion and direction have been a problem for
quite some time and I am quitting for my own ethical reasons. I will be
concentrating my focus on my main sponsors, and working with them to support
the bigger picture of skateboarding as a whole."
Mark says
"I quit Active today due to some disagreements, and I no longer feel I can
support them as an endorsed rider. I hope they will move forward and support
skateboarding in a positive and fair way for the good of everyone, and in this
I wish them the best of luck."
Jimmy Carlin is on Osiris

Showcasing over 30 artists in a 150 plus piece installation, art mediums include canvas, sculpture, skate decks, photography, film and graffiti. DJs, drinks, livepainting and an artist reception make the Brave Art opening a must-do event. Last chance to purchase art and deck out your own walls will be Friday April 20.
