Proceeds from this item will be split with Hella Epic. Hella Epic was honored as our "True Originals" in October. Hella Epic, founded by three high school students, has donated nearly 200 skateboards to children who would not otherwise be exposed to the sport of skateboarding. They believe that skateboarding gives kids an athletic activity to take part in that helps their health and forges a community with other skaters, preventing them from seeking out a brotherhood on the streets.
