TRAFFIC TRAJECTORY
These past two weeks has had Traffic up on the big stage with our Trajectory pieces on The Berrics. I know some fans of Traffic haven’t been all that jazzed to see us up on The Berrics but an opportunity came via Chris Mulhern, who recently got a job with The Berrics. I could tell from his initial email that he was skeptical if I would be down to promote Traffic through The Berrics channels. Honestly I am not wasting my days on The Berrics, or most skate sites but The Berrics is a piece of skating that just so happens millions of young skate rats enjoy to peruse through. Chris is a friend from the Philly area and asked if I would be into doing a Trajectory for the brand. For me it was a no brainer, Traffic, though a cool brand is still a brand on the rise and it would be not the brightest idea of me to shun the audience that Traffic could reach via The Berrics. Plus Eric Koston and Steve Berra are real skateboarders and I am down for that. It’s not like we had to represent Traffic their way, we got to do what we want and how we do things so I think that was a dope situation. Unfortunately that most of The Berrics viewers didn’t know too much or anything about Traffic beforehand, I am sure we got a grip of skaters more interested in our approach to skateboarding. Thanks to Chris, Steve, Eric, Stein, Gribben and all the skaters involved. The pieces came out real good from a few days of good times. Peep Trajectory episode 1 and episode 2 and get stoked!!!!!
It was really good, especially the HD quality. Congrats to you guys Rick, Rich, Bobby and all the Traffic family. I’m glad the foundations of skateboarding are still being applied and utilized. What’s up with some new Traffic Reports and where can I get Rich’s board? Thanks for everything, keep doing it, it makes a difference.

Just wanted to say this skateboard company is really inspirational. Traffic Skateboards stands for everything that is at the core of skating, it emanates a sense of why we love skating because at the end of the day the ethics and perspective of Traffic all come down to a sense of purity. I really respect the attitude that you guys bring to skating because in a world of faceless, soulless corporations that see skating as just another mode of capital gain you just stick to your roots and it fucking shows, the passion, the drive, the philosophy. You’re illustrating why we all skate in the first place, simply for the love of it. Anyway sorry for rambling, its 4.08a.m here in Ireland and I’ve been up watching anything Traffic related online for the last 2 hours but mad respect guys, keep doing your thing and the next time I hit the skate shop I hope I can pick up a Traffic board.

I was a bit surprised at first but after watching them I thought they were really tasteful and did you guys justice. No harm in that. Hopefully it does more for your company and riders, promotion wise. Basically, the shit was cool!
