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.

Volcom revved up the Wanderlodge, loaded up their team of heavy-hitters, and set out for another jaunt around the States. This is a helluva tour vid!

I've been to Brazil a few times. In '94, I came back and told people about a guy named Bob. In 2007, I came back and told fools about a young kid named Pedro Barros. I knew then like I do now—kid gots it like that. RTMF. —Jake Phelps

Rowan and Frecks kick it off with a rip ride around Vietnam, meeting Ishod and the boys for an island hop to Bali destroying every spot in sight. Loud tunes, crusty spots and cold beer–Skate Rock Bali is one for the books!

The Skate Gods deployed the Skate Rock crew to Vietnam and Bali. They stay ready for anything that comes their way.

Whether it’s parks, pools or street, Pedro charges full speed ahead, destroying everything in his path. There’s no shortage of good skating out there these days, but not many people got it like this. Blast off!

Pedro is a skateboarding barbarian, conquering crusty concrete the world over. This spin in São Paolo is off the damn charts.
