Vans launches their most technical shoe ever with one of skateboarding’s gnarliest and most respected ––Anthony Van Engelen. Burnout investigates the LA bash.

Following the smash-hit Orange Wall bash for Vans OTW, our guy Atiba is joining up with the Vans team to guide the brand's vision going forward.

Few plazas loom as large as The Banks. From the Bones Brigade to Harold Hunter, the sessions that sparked these clips are seared into our minds. Ted Barrow's back to highlight its significance.

Vans kicks off their fashion-adventurous OTW program with a fantastical obstacle and blow-out LA bash. Skating’s elite mixed with Hollyweird while Paris Texas and Salem brought down the house and Curren and the boys got vertical AF. You missed it? You blew it!

LA pulled up hard for the first major premiere of the year ––Baker Has a Deathwish Part 2 brought friends, fans and family from Philly, Torrance, Florida and beyond!

Atiba made it down to Miami for the second invitational event where a score of top riders tore up Lot 11 in honor of the late skate ally Virgil Abloh. Ishod, Alexis, Mason and many more wowed the crowd. Check the recap to see who else hit the course.

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.

Atiba linked up with Stance and cracked open the archives to give the Silverlake art crowd a look at some gems from his storied career. Peep it here.

Thrasher and Converse threw the party of the year at the small desert oasis Pappy and Harriet’s. Sick skating, brainmelting bands and the best crowd, hellbent for fun. Check the flicks here!
