This one will get the blood flowing and heart pumping. Geoff, Pedro and Ronnie put it all on the line in honor of the Phelper.

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.

The talent is already off the charts in this Vans Park Series. But when these dudes start pushing each other, the level of skating is beyond belief.

The Vans road show rumbled into Montreal leaving stoke, laughs and most importantly a spankin’ new skatepark in it’s wake. The Brazilians dominated, but everyone got a piece. O’ Canada!

This is an absolute concrete massacre from start to finish, but did you really think Pedro wouldn’t wear the crown in his own country?

The Vans Park Series made its way down to Brazil recently, hosting a massive contest and also leaving an amazing skatepark for the city São Paulo. And although the weekend was a competition, it was hard to see that through all the smiles. Obrigado!

Vans Park Series has made its way to Brazil for its second event. Here’s a few moments caught by masterlensman Anthony Acosta on the riders’ first practice day. Based on the caliber of skating straight off the plane, the Sunday finals are gonna be HEAVY. 

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.
