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!

Skateboarding’s top concrete crushers slug it out on the insane terrain of Red’s Lincoln City, Oregon – parks, pits, dirt and destruction. Grindline the Band, Arctic, Bad Shit and many more provide the soundtrack as the crew pushes the limits for those who can’t. Pure mayhem and good times! Where were you?!

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.

Twenty years under the bridge means a lot of bodies hitting the concrete. Washington Street’s birthday bash was everything you’d imagine, but cranked up a few notches. Did we mention Marcel Martinez is a lunatic?

To celebrate WSVT's birthday, the park got lit up and one of the heaviest sessions ever took place. Here’s to another 20 years.

As is tradition, we descended on Austin during SXSW for three days of shredding and music. The pit was lit, the ramp went ballistic, and we all raged in the name of Jake Phelps. Thank you to No-Comply skateshop and Vans for helping us keep the revs high in Texas every year.
