Beatrice Domond's Zahba Launch Event Photos
7/18/2023
Vans brought the stars out to Brooklyn’s Space 198 to give a hearty launch for Beatrice Domond’s Zahba Mid. Not only was the guest of honor in attendance, but the event was also accompanied by the US premiere of Shari White’s Keepsake vid. It was a packed night in the park with extra stoke to go around. Join me as use my D-minus charisma to bug everyone I run into! —Ted Schmitz
First thing walking into the park we had to say what’s up to Beatrice
Second order of business is always a photo bomb by Jersey Dave. If you haven’t seen him half-Cab flip, you haven’t lived
There she is in stereo! All smiles for the big night
Daniel, Cass and Chris. Pretty easy principle: if you don’t fuck with the Vans Space staff, I don’t fuck with you. And that opinion goes pretty far with like four people in New York that used to live in Arizona
Can’t go wrong with this esteemed media crew
Max Garson got locked up or had trouble getting in
Cleared that up
Only to get stiffed by the inimitable Elise Hedge
If you’ve spent a second on Twitter, you’ve seen a post from Evan, Kennedy, Elise, Cass or the cool and funny guy at the end. Enough catch-up, let’s get to the course
First rip, Elijah’s nip
Morgan Smith was skating harder than anyone in the park, nollie 180 nosegrind
Then right back with a nollie 180 heel nosegrind. Sheesh!
Lui took a break from the phone to kick one over the hubs
Does Alltimers give photo incentive for blogs? If so, this ET three flip is money!
And here’s some extra in case Jessup or Mob or Miles or Pepper pays. What’s your grip sponsor again?
Nelly Morville on the wall
I didn’t realize this was ABD until after I shot it. Sorry, Nick!
Dewey Lui
Strong Limosine presence, Nevada’s Jackie Michel styles out a backside boneless
Call me a 16th-century store owner, ‘cause I cut the homie’s hand off. Fingerless frontside flip
Free feet pics for my people
Last time, it was Zion's party
Eventually, the park fought back
Nelly was killin’ the whole course
Always insane to watch, RoZo throws a nollie inward heel to wallride
I never know if it’s cool to type her handle, but Dayana Young was ripping the wall, too
Naquan, what’s goin’ on over there?
Of course, it’s Nelly, still killin’. Frontside noseblunt slide
Speaking of, Jackie murdered thirst and the QP with one twisted front rock. Call it a double homicide
Hey, dudes!
Always a pleasure to see DLX’s Ashley Rehfeld and our very own Dylan Christopher
Acosta, what are we doing?
Must be somethin’ serious
Especially if we got the media box packed with Arthur, Greg and Spencer
Las Vegas, get the fuck out of your seats! These are two of the best we got
Ah yes, the group photo. Nelly and Jackie reppin’ ZK8Mafia
These are the days. Now let’s get some air
That’s right, motherfuckers
Would not wanna fuck with these two
Norma and Beatrice link back up
I’m not a narc, I swear!
Ashley and Ciera were probably talkin’ big biz
Couldn’t live without a little more Liquid Death
I just wanted a photo. What could be more important?!
Of course, we gotta get Noah in there next to Joey and Marcus
Dude, I just want a picture
Oh shit, you’re on the phone. My bad, George
Empty plates meant the food from Win Son was fire
Violet fam Mike Ward and Elise still hangin’ with Pablo and Breezy
The most expensive blogging kit in the building
Finally, my friends! Adelaide, Fran, Spencer and Cole caught up while I went lookin’ for someone with pink hair
Arthur made it all the way from England to hang with Evan. Only thing is, the hair’s not exactly pink
Found one!
And the ultra-rare green hair/black beard combo. What a night!
Our friend on the left HAD to get a photo with Jahmal and company
Two men, one great vibe. Always good to see Jesse and Eric
Finally, both the Jawns! I’m O for two, tryin’ to get Noah in focus. Thanks again for your help at Bust or Bail!
It’s in the permanent record now
Sima from Skate Like a Girl brought Spencer Gillespie some spices for his birthday
New York’s newest resident Josh Eberhard is one of those Arizonans I was talking about. Seen here next to Noah’s nice guy Elias Parise
Coda red! Jake Keenan and Angel made it. I think I used that pun last time…
Writers/posters, and not the other way around, Lucas Wisenthal and Nic Nootens. Thanks for the subscription!
Cole and Alexis had to hop in with such notable posters
What display of brotherhood is this for?
Men of the lens, Cole Giordano and Greg Navarro
Such a treat to see the whole Owens family in New York. Sorry again my MoMa membership didn’t transfer!
And look, we got the cast and crew: Shari, Dustin, Nick, Evan and Jackie
A good TM makes sure his talent doesn’t have too much exposure to kooks. Zach graciously let me off with a warning
From the streets to the beats, Jared Sherbert and Ben K kept the rhythm right
Big fans of these Hopps pros, Keith Denley and Jahmal Williams
I think Jahmal accepted Beatrice’s Vans-park apology
Put ‘em together and we got a W
Antihero comin’ through
Looks like the crowd’s movin’ in, but Jazz needs one more snack
Jaime got to show his family where he likes to feeble
Make way! VIPs en route
Nelly and Karim get their seats on the brick recliner
Jimmy McDonald braved the heat for this. It must be good!
Was I supposed to have my flash to the side this whole time?
Thumbs up for good seats
FRONT ROW!
No matter how big you get, there’s always a premiere with floor seats in your future
Greg Hunt’s a pretty laid-back guy
And our first look… at Keepsake through the phones…
And a point-and-shoot? Strange times, friends
All that applause is for you, Shari!
And you too, Nick
It wasn’t for Georgia and Sass, but just wait for that 5Boro vid!
Dave, you’ve done it again!
Vans knows how to pick ‘em! Shari and Greg deal with me one more time before we close out
Congrats again to Beatrice for the new shoe, also Shari and company on the video. Now go buy a pair or two! What, you thought these 91 photos weren’t a sales pitch?!
