Santa Cruz Skateboards Recreates Self
Santa Cruz has been busy recreating itself with an almost-entirely
new team, a new logo (the Knot to replace the classic Dot), and some interesting
new deck constructions.
With its amateur-team video, Ammo, fresh in everyone's mind, Santa Cruz
arrived at the Action Sports Retailer Trade Expo in San Diego in September
with a renewed look and a whole line of products.
The Dot logo will still appear on select products, so old-schoolers who
grew up with it need not fret.
