Over the years, Emerica has been home to some of skateboarding’s best. Kevin “Spanky” Long, Leo Romero, Bryan Herman, Jerry Hsu and Andrew Reynolds to name a few. These riders, alongside others such as Jon Dickson, Westgate and Figgy, contributed to Emerica being one of the heaviest hitting around.
Emerica has also cemented its status as one of the top dogs of the skateboard shoe market through some monumental video projects, This Is Skateboarding, one of their earliest full-length videos, showcased the raw energy, technical skill, and unique personalities of the Emerica team. More recently, the Made series highlighted the next generation of Emerica riders whilst building opon the absolute mammoth of a video Stay Gold that came before it.
