Element Parts Ways With Chad Tim Tim & Ray Barbee
There have been quite a few team changes at Element over the past year. The latest may be the most surprising. The brand has removed Chad Tim Tim and Ray Barbee from the Icons section of its team page. Both are still quite active in skate culture; so we’re sure we’ll be seeing more in the future. Let’s hope Ray’s cameo in Krooked’s latest release was bit of foreshadowing of what’s to come. Time will tell.
