Nature Calls took the crew through the mountains in all seasons, with numerous “recon” trips to explore and discover some of the most unique, raw and natural skate-able spots.​

In 1989 a young skater skitched through Manhattan from the rear bumper of a NYC yellow taxi. His buddies watching on, marvelling at what he was doing. Looming behind him, the iconic twin towers. Perched above the scene was NYC-based photographer Charlie Samuels, rapidly clicking through his role of film. Fast forward to present day and this image has been cemented in legend, immortalizing one of New York’s greatest skaters Harold Hunter in front of New York’s most enduring buildings.

Sometimes Nature just calls you. This happened to Element rider Phil Zwijsen: one bright day, he assembled a crew of fellow curious minded skateboard friends and decided to go challenge the great outdoors of the Pyrenees Mountains.
