RIVERFARM is a religion for crack heads, brides on the run, midgets, thieves and less fortunate small animals. Just shittin' you folks...

RIVERFARM is where we grew up in Sweden and started skateboarding in the 80's. In 1999 we made 20 t-shirts and people liked em' so we had to make some more. It's a thing built on friendship, pocket money and love for skateboarding.

Quality? Heck, we still skate and wear the things we make, so it better be good as a goose or it's a no-no! Because first and foremost it's such a waste of trees and energy to make crappy decks and secondly we'd rather have you back in 8 weeks or so with a really worn out deck and two thumbs up than after 3 days with a snapped one cursing and swearing. This goes for all the things we do.

With an advertising budget close to zero, and an unconditional love for "word-of-mouth" you're more likely to hear about us than to see us, so keep those ears clean and switched on.

Ain't no place like earth, not that we know of anyway, so we try our best to do some good like re-cycle whatever we can, use organic cotton (coming spring 2010), save endangered rain forest through Barnens Regnskog and help out the little Red Panda in Nepal by supporting the Red Panda Network to try to help change things for the better and hopefully open an eye or two.

Since I despise the idea of trying to turn people into something they're not, our family (team) is based on individuals and the idea of letting people be who they are. There are some tough rules though if you're part of RIVERFARM FAMILY:

1. Be nice.
2. Be passionate.

That's it? Yepp.

Why? Because I believe passionate people with great attitude makes all the difference. The rest comes naturally.

There is a catch though, we only hook up people that we know, meaning friends, friends of their friends and friends of their friends and so on. This way it actually feels like a real family and that's absolutely priceless.

So the RIVERFARM FAMILY is a bunch of our best friends who are into skateboarding, guitar playing, painting, drawing, carpenting, filming, snapping photos, traveling and having one heck of a laugh while doing it. These people are:

Erik "Kirre" Hedberg
Erik "Woxy" Woxberg
Gustav "Gurra" Nyman
John Nordh
Klas "Klabbe" Anderssson
Lukas "Lukke" Bigun
Martin "Hjalmarsson" Hjalmarsson
Nils "Nisse" Hallberg
Nils "Nisse" Lilja
Peter "Smulan" Johansson

Classics: The Peck Mode, Cha Cha, Kish, Bender 7.2, Blackfirm Boy, Randy Barnes, Joyboy and Kit.
