Jesse Martinez opened the gates to Dogtown and the Vans team showed up in volume. From Tony Alva to Andrew Langi, our biggest Round-Up yet.
Cons threw a party for Rune at the legendary Pink Motel. Huge bbq, free drinks, and a full-on session in the pool. Everyone from Tom Remillard to Dave Hackett was on hand.
Orange County kinda sucks, but the new combi is killer. Check the Thrasher edit of the total bro-down. And that's time. Thanks to Vans for a great weekend!
A backyard session at the 99 pool in Sacramento with Katen, Duncan, Royce, and Holmes—I'd call that classic.
