Burnout: Ravers
9/09/2024
Vans’ infamous waffle squad once again storms the Big Apple for some good deeds, a block party and the first-ever skateboard rave. Also: yoga at the Banks?
Q: Is this the place? A: Doy
Oh yeah, we made it
These guys!
There were several tents for pop-up action. Homerun, for instance
Wasn’t familiar with Potato Vans …
I see, carry on
If P&Y isn’t already your favorite Canadian lifestyle brand, you’re fuckin’ up
Inside: a skate clinic for beginners and the beginner at heart
‘Ya just gotta lean back sometimes ….’
If you can taildrop on flat you can taildrop into a bowl
Meanwhile Beatrice shows how the pros do it
Solid turn out, right?!
El dump-O
Scrambling under cover
Credential crush
Bea and Chucky: safe, dry AND on the list
Blew over quick. Get some pants, man!
A dog named Thrasher
And my dogs from Vans. Thanks, y’all
Bring your pocket weasel … if you got one
No better party than a French fry party
DJ Kadow made it
Wait, he’s got deeper cuts than Priest …
Exhibit A!
We slowly turned his DJ tent into a VIP zone and drank all his beer
Those of us who weren’t hooping, that is!
Wallride contest! Chucky ALMOST got the pipe
So close!
Even he can’t believe he didn’t get it
Jiro with the heelflip wallride
Antonio was surfing the joint all night
Best trick: Hubba Division
The locs had it dialed
One-eighty nosegrinds, no problem
A pause for sweat puddle, nothing management couldn’t handle
Good ol’ pop-shove tailgrab fingerflip, straight out of the Dave Coyne playbook, a person this kid has never heard of
Worth AT LEAST a 20!
Back outside, party heating up, babe style
Fellas, too
Fuckin’ JACK SABBACK!
Don’t get any ideas, creeps, that’s Eli’s sister!
J-Hon and Marco, masterlensmen and members of the anti-sneaker league
Beantown blasters with NY associates Schleyer and Mike Heik!
Fuck it! Let the baby hold ‘em!
The very classy Josh Wilsons, so nice to see you!
Not sure why the color on this one is so weird, but it’s good foreshadowing for the events that followed
Squeezing through the secret passageway into the park. Sorry, y’all
Wallride contest #2 ––but in the dark with smoke machines!!!!
Dakota Hunt ––dominating!
Not sure how they could see, much less oop a frontside smasher
Curren got up there. Kickflipped too!
Antonio started getting loose with it, gliding all over that wall
You could bust the hip, too. Either way, you’re sailing into the crowd
Switch blindside to fake? He was on one!
And then the biggest crowd reaction of the night ––two life-sized cartoon characters dancing with the giant shoe
All the moves you see middle schoolers doing
People were losing their minds. It felt like we were in the Philippines or something
‘What am I? Chopped liver?’
And then … from out of the darkness
Detroit’s HiTech!
Straight into the crowd
Insane energy
Super fun and the kids were feeling it
Oh yeah, he’ll keep dancing on the floor
Doesn’t mean he don’t need a hand up!
Blistering performance!
Left the crowd gasping for air and shit
Which left only one thing … the aforementioned first-ever skate rave
A stretch for me, but not for the cool people
Grab a glow stick and get there
Ceremony, the DJ
Eventually had to get some air with the these guys. Raving is hard work!
Wrapping it up! That’s only half of the signed waivers
Deliverables?!! Ach!!!
And that was that. Heck of a night
Uhm, Shealy? You ready?
Bright and early next morning ––super give-back with the Super Skate Posse at the super Brooklyn Banks!
Free stuff for cool kids … from the Vans stars!
What do you mean you don’t want the Denial of Existence??
Ah, I see. Way better choice
Steve Douglas details the finer points of a spanner
Look at these future badasses!
‘Can I get the Chimas?’
Another Denial denier? Dang it!
Nothing left to do but learn how to ride these crazy things
First step is the biggest
Grab a friend, if you got one
Zion sez “bend your knees!”
While Rowan works the intermediate acid-drop area
Yep, I like the one with the blond baby on it, too
Big timers Steve Rodriguez and Justin Villano
And Grant and Raisa, my friends from the media
So much love
Couldn’t fit it in a single group shot!
Is there anything these shoes CAN’T do?
Oh shit, rail sesh brewing
Wait, there’s something weird going on in the runway?
Just a little organized skate yoga, no big deal
Shiloh’s widdit
A little namaste goes a long way
Expand your mind, Una!
Thanks, everybody!
