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.
