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.

Greyson Fletcher previews the Simple Session 25 course.
Simple Session’s 25th-anniversary celebrations kicked off raw and real with VISIT ESTONIA’s Best Trick battle at Krulli District. The standout? ‘Kelluke’ (‘The Bell’) — a brand-new, skateable sculpture we built for the City of Tallinn. It’s set to level up the local street spots soon to be locked in at Freedom Square, so get back and session it again!
The session was straight fire, with hammers dropping left and right, all fueled by the Cash for Tricks format. Aaron “Jaws” Homoki (USA) claimed the overall victory with a flawless backside 360 flip melon grab. Jaime Mateu went all out, throwing down the biggest amount of wildest tricks and ultimately splitting the Best Trick prize with Jaws. The highest air contest saw Greyson Fletcher (USA) and Marcello Jiménez (Chile) tie for first after ringing the 2.6-meter high bell.
