Steven Vasquez around his Home Turf | Spot to Spot – The PLATFRM
Fully relaxed at all times, Steven Vasquez has one of the smoothest heelflips out right now, and his focus on skating (and school) is at an all-time high. Just outside LA County, Steven syncs up to show us around his childhood stomping grounds, going Spot To Spot and stacking clips.
Start the day at the remodeled Chino Skatepark, where he grew up skating, for a typical warmup session. Then take it to the crusty, sweet streets of Ontario and Claremont to skate a few spots that have served him well over the years and see what juice he can squeeze out of them next.

And if that wasn’t enough, young buck, Chris Chann came thru with his signature wizard style. Just so happens that they’re all rocking Adidas!
