Congratulations to 686 global team rider Forest Bailey for killing it all season with the Givin’ Crew and also for winning the high Ollie contest at the Americas Next Top Pro Model.

LV was in town last week to rock his 686 gear at the Sports Chalet photo shoot and film his new ad campaign video.  The Sports Chalet catalog shoot was at a really amazing location in downtown LA, we can’t show you too much, but we can tell you that it was an old factory that was borderline creepy.  Creepy in a good way,if that makes any sense.

Hey there,

This year I put my board away early at end of may. The winter in Europe wasn’t amazing, as you probably all know, and I was looking forward to the summer.
