Skateboarders are heated after REAL Skateboards stepped up and backed Thrasher Magazine’s stance against President Trump’s ICE.
They ran an ad in the latest issue and shared it online letting people know that ICE is not welcome in our community.
They also hooked up free stickers at skate shops while supplies last so fans could show support in their own neighborhoods.
Thrasher’s original call out on ICE got a lot of attention and drew support from other pro skaters.

Even The Last of the Piss Drunx also joined the cause. Dustin Dollin brought his band Fine Mess to a benefit show supporting anti-ICE efforts. The event drew skaters, musicians, and community members all looking to show support and solidarity.
REAL Skateboards getting involved added more weight to the growing anti-ICE movement.
Because of their involvement, core heads are talking about how ICE affects neighborhoods and why it is important to speak out.
