LiViTY rocks the Indigenous Fashion Show June 11th

– Our brothers from the north, Indigenous Clothing, celebrated their 15th anniversary down here in a swanky Bevery Hills location with a full-on star studded fashion show. LiViTY co-sponsored the event and rocked the house with positive musical vibes provided by Ambassador Jr. and the LiViTY Soundsystem…

Highlights included an appearance by DJ Samu-rasta (aka Bennett Hirada, LiViTY pro skater). Celebs were caught stealing LiViTY Fireball Fedoras left and right, models and the pimps of young hollywood were converted to full on LIViTY eco-activits in bulk… Mission accomplished.

Over and out from Beverly Hills.

Forrest Shearer- Shred Till You’re Dead

A man that exemplifies humility, high spirits and dedication to his craft, Forrest “Gap Killah” Shearer.

Forrest got his nickname after smoothly landing a previously un-boarded launch pad called Chad’s Gap, in his backyard (i.e. Utah backcountry). Here’s an ad we ran a few years back to commemorate his astronomical achievement.

Reason I named this post, Shred Till Your Dead, is that if an average human such as myself even attempted to run at the same pace as the General Rasta- Fore-i, it would invariably kill us. That’s the reason we leave it to the pro-bro, bro. Hence, Forrest is only able to accommodate short visits away from the “salty peaks” to see his mortal friends and ends up having to live amongst other super-humans, the likes of Chris Coulter, Mauricio Lizaraburu, the Leines Bros and other salty shredders that lurk in the snowy wilderness.

Spoke with’em a second ago, he’s off to make the most out of Spring conditions out in Utah. Hittin them slopes, all-day everyday!

Rest in Peace Jack Herer

A picture of Jack on Venice beach in 1994, blocks away from the current LiViTY Office

Perhaps the most dedicated and accomplished hemp activist to date, Jack Herer, passed away in Eugene, Oregon today.

He is the main reason a lot of us got into hemp activism, and how couldn’t we after reading his writings, such as the emperor wears no clothes.

Our deepest condolences to your family and friends Jack, your contribution is appreciated and you will be missed.

We will do our best to keep the dream alive!
