1. Kadvar “Into The Night”
2. LOOM “Midnight Sol”
3. The Black Angels “Waterloo Waltz”
4. Hot Lunch “Uprooted”

“Music is an important part of skateboarding, I think the two worlds have often been tied to each other,” explained Riley. “So, when Scion came to me with an opportunity to create a collection of music from my favorite bands, I jumped at the chance to get involved.”

Scion’s involvement with Riley was recently highlighted as the company created a custom, project car dubbed the “Scion x Riley Hawk Skate Tour xB”, which premiered at SEMA. The car was inspired by Riley’s interests and features wood-grain décor, a mini fridge, shag carpet, an 8-track player, a custom Pioneer Sound System and the ability to play a guitar through the audio system using an iPad mini as a mixer.  The xB also features a 1970s style custom paint pattern with a “fish bowl” side window and captain-style chairs in front and back.
