Just two days ago, the Element brand announced the addition of Dominick Walker, Ethan Loy, and Chris Colbourn to the team. Needless to say, this revamp of the amateur squad was long over due. Back in 2012, Element released a full video starring just their amateur squad, titled "Future Nature". Since then, a majority of the riders in the film have earned professional status from the company. The brand attempts to rekindle the light on their amateur riders with this addition of three heavy hitters.
Dominick Walker, long time friend of Element pro Nyjah Huston, was one of the flow riders selected. Although not well known before his destruction in 2014's Thrasher King of the Road, Dominick is not a new face. Along with the ability to tackle some of the biggest rails, the 22 year-old has an extensive Damn Am history dating back to 2009. Dominick and his talents look to fit in snugly with Element.
The youngest of the riders chosen to be one of Element's new amateurs is Ethan Loy. Brother of Birdhouse's newest pro David Loy, Ethan has followed in his elder's skateboarding footsteps. With a Transworld Video Check Out and a mini Thrasher part last year, Ethan has already put Element wood to good use. At 19, Ethan looks to become one of the younger big name amateur skateboarders, with support from Spitfire and Independent.
Chris Colbourn blew up with his "Cut and Dry" video part presented by Transworld late in 2013. With bangers like backside 360 on the LA triple set, Chris was seen as one to watch for in 2014. Chris is one of the few east coasters on the Element team, and brings a new style with him. The lesser known of the three ams, the Vermont native has been given a great opportunity to shine for the Element brand in 2015.
I'm expecting a video part or montage from the three coming soon. Very hyped for Dominick in particular as he has been on the Element flow program for years,
