HC: BRAND SPOTLIGHT ON CLEAR MINDED CLOTHING
BIO:
“Forged in the suburbs of southern California, Clear Minded Clothing is still in its infancy but is quickly gaining momentum in the straightedge clothing game. 17 year old owner and operator, Kaden Valdivieso, works tirelessly around the clock to always keep new ideas flowing and everything running smoothly. Clear Minded Clothing brings some new humor to the table as well as some spiced up old school designs. Keeping it simple and clean, Clear Minded Clothing is a company you should be sure to watch out for.”
This brand is ran by a rad 17yr old dude named Kaden. It is really cool to see younger dudes getting involved in more than trying to look cool or do whats “in” to try and fit in somehow. He is putting a simple and funny spin on Straight Edge clothing brands.

HC: BRAND SPOTLIGHT EPIFFNY CLOTHING
BIO:
“Epiffny is the rebellion against the mainstream, the constant fight versus cookie cutter get rich quick schemes. Our slogan “supportlocalcloth” doesn’t necessarily mean only buy local from your town, but more to support small businesses that are creating new outlets for kids other then the big industry standards that is shoved down their throats. Everything we make has our own signature touch, from our hand screened tees made in house or rather “in Lab” lol, to our hand made skate/bike wax. We do it all hands on and would never want it any other way. DIY or DIE like my tattoo reads is something we practice on the daily, and is something we will never compromise…”
I have ridden BMX since i was a kid … i dont rid as much anymore but this culture is forever with me and will always have my respect. This is why i back dudes like Clayton and brands like EPIFFNY.
here is our most recent edit featuring riders all from fresno, also check out more on our blog www.epiffnyclothing.blogspot.com and our products at www.epiffnyclothing.com
