ETHA x CHAMPS: The First-Ever Skate Competition at CHAMPS Trade Show

ETHA is very excited to tell you about the first-time unprecedented partnership between ETHA its white label partner Element 115 Botanicals (E115) and Champs Trade show (CHAMPS). E115 partnered with CHAMPS this February 2025 at the Las Vegas Convention Center to bring to you the first ever Skate Competition. This event came complete with a skate park and a vert ramp! This multi-day event featured our very own former competitive super skateboarder and owner of E115, Danny Way, as the event MC and competition host and of course our very own ETHA co-founders Victor and Alex. A new skate street and vert ramp competition took place each day of the trade show. ETHA staff (including Victor and Alex) and E115 and its staff were present every single day of the show to take orders and answer questions from distributors, vendors and individuals interested in E115 products and/or partnering with Danny for future marketing and entertainment-related events. 

E115 Botanicals Powered by ETHA Natural Botanicals (ETHA) 

ETHA is not your average kratom vendor. We implement a "sleeves rolled up" “hands on” approach at every step, to bring you the very best botanical products. ETHA grows its own kratom plants in Southern California. We use this knowledge to create superior botanical products for you. Research and development is conducted by our very own ETHA LABS and through 3rd-party, independent labs. Last, but not least, ALL production is completed on-site at our Above Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) USA facility.  

E115 is Danny's passion project. It is his brand. ETHA is the first choice kratom company Danny chose as his partner to help him realize his dream and his passion. Danny is E115 through and through. Danny also works very closely with ETHA's R&D team to develop and perfect new products. When Danny partnered with ETHA, it was not just for show...we made something great and something that works!   

CHAMPS Trade Shows 

Champs is one of the biggest conventions for counterculture products. It is primarily where retailers go to look for products like CBD, adult, vape, and kratom. As a counterculture convention, the event is over the top and wild. Celebrities like Mike Tyson, Hulk Hogan, and Ric Flair (and now our own Danny Way!) are there meeting fans and letting the world know about their latest products, partnerships and ventures. 

Unique Partnership and an Amazing Opportunity 

This is a first-time ever unique partnership, and an absolute NOT miss event. Of all the “greats” and VIPs who come to CHAMPS, they chose Danny and his brand E115 as the feature brand. We manned a giant booth and are even on the cover of the magazine! The show took place in Las Vegas Conventions Center February 12th -15th, 2025. The creator of E115 and show MC Danny Way was there at the vert competition cheering on the skaters and was at the booth answering questions and meeting fans. 

ETHA was also there every day of the event to answer any questions about E115 and its products, help place orders or find out how you can potentially have Danny come to your next store event. If you missed it this year don’t be sad. We will definitely be back next year bigger and wilder. Mark your calendar now for the next Champs event to come watch the competition and cheer on the competitors. Watch Danny shine in action and in the limelight and maybe even snag an autograph. 

There are simply too many cool and amazing things going on and you cannot possibly miss it. Plan to come next year. 

We will be there, and we are waiting for you! As future events come up, we will update our ETHA family.
