Travis Rice explains the story behind graphics for his 2010 Raptor Boards. Check the interview.
If you've followed Travis Rice's career at all, you've likely noticed that the products and projects he puts his name on display an originality and intensity that's rare. In keeping with this tradition, his 2010 board line from Lib Tech is emblazoned with custom depictions of, well, rare or endangered raptors, with partial proceeds heading to The Peregrine Fund, a non-profit devoted to saving wild birds of prey. Knowing how Rice rolls, we figured there was more to these boards than just "killer graphics," so we hit the man up for the inside line on his new and very tech-sounding Travis Rice C2 Power Banana.
