Hi, thanks for your interest.

The shirts are printed on AAA blanks. def off shore sweatshop. We did the first run on American apparel, and were unhappy in general with the cut. it twists on your body. We are looking at more options, but for now they are AAA, same as most all skate T's and hoodies. The woman's and thermals are American appeal. Thanks for your support on this project!

I don't think 165 cares about where shirts are made. He is advertising a pair of vans made in the Philippines on his blog. He is bummed we put out T's before we put out the video, but that's not true. We put our first version of the video out almost 2 years ago. It was for film fests only. It got bootlegged, and now most kids who wanted that version got it. We are now wrapping a much more involved, evolved project. It took time to see that unfold, and I know it will show in the final video. After all this hard work, some of you will pass it around online. Hope you understand how small these types of projects are, and how that hurts the artists DIRECTLY, like peter.

For the 2 or 3 haters on these types of forums, we get hundreds of letters, and emails for kids in Berlin, Paris, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Japan, Canada, Mexico, UK, Austrailia, China, and some of the smallest towns in the us. They are all inspired by watching other kids ride there bikes and do it well. That was the intention of making a video in the first place, and our vision has not swayed. It takes money to make things happen, and clothing helps generate that. Don't be fooled, this is a business, not a non-profit. Were just a business running in the red. I don't think we are misleading anyone. Wear a helmet. Luv
