Our friends Malachi Greene and Kevin Jansen teamed up to create this visual update from Santa Cruz, California.
We sent Malachi some boards to see where he'd take them and what he'd do with them and here's what he started with. Thanks for repping the brand in your territory and we're stoked to have you contributing to our catalog of moving pictures!

We would like to welcome Andrew Schumaker to the Riviera Skateboards family! 'Schu' is a wild animal with a passion for skateboarding that leaves a lasting impression wherever he rolls. His dedication to fast lines and creative use of the streets make him an entertaining skater to watch! Our entire brand is inspired by his energy and we're proud to call him FAMILY! WE BELIEVE IN SCHU!
We're a Functional Family - we skate together, surf together, laugh together, sometimes annoy each other together, but most importantly we create a wonderful way of life together. Riding skateboards and surfboards for a living isn't something we take lightly, but we sure couldn't take ourselves too seriously could we? This is a look at what an ad shoot with Riviera Skateboards can be like - here's a portion of our Family having a good time together at Brad Parker's 'GnarPark.' The print ad for this shoot can be found in the latest issue of Wheelbase Magazine.
Stay tuned for further visions of our 'Functional Family' throughout the year.

Ali Nas is our 'Riviera Internationalist' from Norway. In this raw run on 'Gnarlicante' we see Ali keeping it cool under high speed pressure and ripping down this road in absolute style. Ali is riding a prototype shape that he cut himself, fastened to a set of Paris 'Savants' and Divine 'Street Slayers.' Enjoy the intensity of his skating matched to a song suited for this downhill thriller!
