speaking of S-One. if you’re in sunny California next weekend, i suggest you get out to Malibu for this fundraiser for Jon Moak..

On July 26th Margaret Herron is throwing a SkateBoard Contest In Memory of her son Jon Moak.
Jon passed away after a fluke accident while he was skating a park in Arizona. Jon hit is head and suffered a traumatic brain injury. He was not wearing a helmet.
With Jon’s accident Margaret has joined forces with The Ian Tilman Foundation, as both Ian and Jon were victims to similar head injuries while not wearing a helmet. Since 2006 The Ian Tilman Foundation has passed out over 1300 free helmets to kids who promise to wear them. This foundation’s members are flying out here from Florida for Jon’s Memorial to help spread the word of helmet awareness to the west coast kids.

Please come out and enjoy a day of skateboarding at Papa Jack’s SkatePark, on July 26th.
Papa Jacks Skatepark
23415 Civic Center Way
Malibu, CA 90265
Big thanks to everyone who is contributing and supporting this event: Freedom Artists, Val Surf, Clout, Girl, Chocolate, 4star, Matix, DVS, Lakai, Sicky Dicky, The City Of Malibu, and S-One Helmets.
