Plan B Tv caught up with Ryan Sheckler and Paul Rogriguez for a mini Plan B demo. Needless to say there was quite a crowd and everybody was stoked to see them skate and then at the end there was an autograph session as well as some giveaways.

For years I’ve questioned the promise of 15 and 20 year warranties offered by some companies and, I have to say, they are too good to be true.
