Vans threw a big contest last weekend with a bunch of skaters you don’t usually associate with the words “organized competition.” Tyler Bledsoe, Breana Geering, Taylor Kirby, Austyn Gillette, Simon Bannerot, Mason Silva and hella more throw down the gauntlet for some fun in the OC sun.

In this episode of the Loveletters, the crew visits some of the more notable cities in France, stopping in Paris, Lyon, and Marseille to talk shop with the locals. 

Since not all of us can have a private tour of their warehouse, DLX was kind enough to take a selection of goodies down to Black Long Beach for a lil’ art show.

Grosso takes us to Canada to talk to some of the old, new, and infamous talents from our friendly neighbor in the great white north. 

Brazil has one of the best, oldest and coolest skate scenes in the world. Grosso and the Loveletters crew headed down to see how much of epic skate history they could uncover in eight days.

This is a small taste of the skating taking place in the Far East right now. To watch the finals live, check the dates and times to keep up with the concrete demigods at this historic event.

Take a sneak peek at Jeff Grosso's Love Note to the Hackett Slash over on the Antihero site.

The sun was bright, the revvs were high, and Oakland’s concrete sanctuary of the skate Gods was alive with the spirit of the recently departed. Fix yourself a coffee, grab a snack and enjoy the show.

A sunny day in Oakland brought out a heavy crew of skaters and spectators to celebrate the life of Preston "P-Stone" Maigetter. Check out some photos here.
