Once the decision is made, the only thing left is one big ol’ bash in The City to cap the year off right. Karl Watson came through for the official handoff along with a host of A-listers from Primitive, adidas and our home turf. Couldn’t get in the door? Catch it all here.

After an unprecedented year of boundary-pushing skating, we needed a night in The City to kick back and crown our 2022 Skater of the Year, Tyshawn Jones. Let’s walk through to see the friends and fellow skaters that came to celebrate.

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?!

Vans hosted a double-decker bus SF skate history tour followed by an epic sesh at Treasure Island. Burnout climbed aboard.

Back from the dead, Skate Rock is back in black. Before Turnip builds his wall, we're headed for Mexico. Check the dates; come one come all.

On a cold, rainy Friday night in SF, the skate world found shelter for the crowning of AVE as Skater of the Year. Thanks to everyone that came out and to Hongry and The Spits for providing the soundtrack. 

Mosh pits, flying beer cans, bloody noses and stage diving? Anti Hero's "18" video premier at House of Vans in NYC last night did not disappoint.
