Ales Amor was born for this. He might have fallen in love with skateboarding when he was 13, he also had the mountains in his blood: his parents were running a high mountain refuge for, and he grew up in a small village perched atop the Pyrenean Mountains.


After his latest adventure across the mountain, we managed to catch some advice from his hiking experience - as in, why it's not always a good idea to take iced baths in the middle of a snow storm.

Since 1992 Element has drawn inspiration from the natural world. It has help defined us on our skateboards, in our products and in our daily lives. That is why,  as a part of our “Conscious by Nature” program, from 2022 onward Element will be donating 1% of all global skateboard hardgoods sales to 1% for the Planet. This initiative will help directly fund true experts and NGO’s in their work to fight against deforestation and to contribute to reforestation and biodiversity.

Nature Calls took the crew through the mountains in all seasons, with numerous “recon” trips to explore and discover some of the most unique, raw and natural skate-able spots.​
