CCS – 100 Kickflips In Knee Pads? Testing Out Protec’s New Pro Pads
The benefits of having a proper set of Pro-Tec knee pads are well established. The ability to knee slide out of your bailed vert tricks can give you greater confidence to push your boundaries, help establish proper form on the ramp, and assist in the long-term retention of having knee caps so you can, you know, continue to have knees.
For many skaters, the real concern with knee pads is how it will affect mobility and performance when not sliding down the big transitions.
With this in mind, CCS Brand Director Matt Price dusted off the classic 100 Kickflips chestnut to do a little scientific real world analysis. He took the Pro-Tec Pro Knee Pads to the streets (er- skatepark) so you can witness how they perform under the intense pressures of Matt’s mighty stomp. Will they elevate or hinder the flicks and what will be the resulting wear and tear… on Price’s knees?

Grosso Forever: Japan Love Note: Women Shredders | Skate | VANS
There are so many amazing women in the Japanese skate scene. The Joy and Sorrow DVD series has been highlighting the scene for over a decade. In this Love Note we check in with the creator of the series, Yuri Murai.
Japan has a long and radical skate history. With so many eyes focused on Tokyo in 2021 Vans wanted to make sure that the rich skate culture and storied history didn’t get lost in the hype of The Games. Japan has a great skate scene that should championed and celebrated long after this moment in history.
This is the last trip the Loveletters crew took with our beloved Jeff Grosso before his passing. Jeff and the crew had a blast meeting the many Japanese skaters from every generation.
