Tristan Rennie, Yam Behar, Liam Pace – Central California Road Trip | Life in the Van – The Platfrm
It’s time to get back in the van—Peacock’s driving. A self-described professional road trip organizer and videographer, Josh “Peacock” Henderson is, simply put, the best. Join a full squad as they spend three days scouring over 200 miles of central California in search of clips at six epic spots. Peacock’s got the homie hookups and the access codes to get into secret locations without interruption.
Between breaking down fences for a little off-roading to a DIY, tapping into private backyards with cement pours and ramp compounds—plus roadside chaos when the van breaks down and the crew has to push before a Humvee comes through with a tow—this episode of Life in the Van has it all.
Where does it all begin? Phoenix Sinnerton called it “one of the most perfect DIYs in the middle of absolute nowhere.” Enjoy

A Look into Skateboarding’s Road Culture | Life in the Van – The Platfrm
Get in the van! Life In The Van is a series documenting the most quintessential part of life as a professional skateboarder. Since the beginning, skateboarders have been packing into vans and taking to the open road in search of new towns, new spots, and places to stack clips—not to mention drop in for demos and autograph signings to stoke out the local skateboarders along the way. Skate, eat, sleep, and repeat. Whether it’s for a few weeks or a few months, the bonds formed and the footage captured are what make these trips so special. So, what’s it really like?
“It’s like a family experience,” says Chris Roberts. “You start to hate these people.” Sean Malto, Braden Hoban, and Greyson Fletcher explain the importance of a van’s seating chart, or hierarchy, while Tom Schaar, Georgia Martin, and Lazer Crawford describe some of their first van memories. And Felipe Gustavo poetically sums up his van experiences as, “That’s where your heart is.” Hear from each of them and get a look into the behind-the-scenes, the falls, makes, and more —slide open the side door and experience Life In The Van.

Guinness World Record Holder & Skateboarding Legend: Judi Oyama
Judi Oyama has been pushing skateboarding forward since the 1970s. A former Women’s Slalom World Champion (2003) and Skateboarding Hall of Fame inductee, World Skate first spoke with her when she represented the USA in Downhill Slalom at the 2023 World Skate Games in Italy.
At that event, Judi mentioned Guinness World Records was considering naming her the world’s oldest competitive female skateboarder — a title she now proudly holds.
To celebrate, they invited the Santa Cruz native to share her pioneering story and personal photo archive, which capture both her own journey and a legendary era in skateboarding history.
