DIY or DIE! By The Sword!


Mike Vallely and Jason Filipow have founded a new skate company. By The Sword Skateboards represents the core of skateboarding without the accessibility of public parks or backyard pools. Filipow said of Vallely "His skating thrived within the sprawling, suburban wasteland of shopping mall parking lots, curbs and walls so familiar to the skateboarders outside of California." Utilization of available architecture and the Do It Yourself attitude has been a huge influence on my skating. Look for By The Sword Skateboards and remember to DIY or DIE. By The Sword!
