Vans took some time out a few weeks back, set up some ramps at the Bones NZ Warehouse and celebrated Go Skateboarding Day. There was a little bit of everything for everyone. Here's the wrap!
Featuring Tylre Houldsworth, Mike Bancroft, Luke Haywood, Josh Malthus, Nolan Ewart, Lexus Waipouri, Lenard Tejada, Chase Collins and more.
This year to celebrate GSD in Auckland Vans introduced #OFFTHEWALLRIDE, a user generated competition where skaters can film a wallride, tag @vansaustralia and hashtag #offthewallride, with the best clips rewarded with new Vans Pro Skate shoes and apparel. See below for more info.
Caveman into them or Kickflip out of them, do them switch or hit it fakie. Vans want to see how you get ON and OFF THE WALL with your slickest wallie, wall-ride, in a line, as a single, at your favourite street-spot or skatepark! Anything goes! Wall-rides are fun, and the possibilities are endless.. Film it, Tag @vansnewzealand and use #offthewallride and the best will be rewarded with the Vans goodies! Contest ends 30th July.
