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
Backyard pool skateboarding has been a staple of the scene since its early days, and it remains a territory truly mastered by a select few. John Worthington, better known as Jworth, is one of those elite skaters. He effortlessly carves through the deepest pool lights, grinds coping, and connects lines around the shallow-end staircases. With experience navigating various pool shapes, sizes, and conditions, Jworth is no stranger to making what he finds easily skateable. Join Jworth in Spot to Spot as he jumps in the van with filmer Josh Peacock and rippers Taylor Nye, Lilly Erickson, Phoenix Sinnerton, Pedro Quintas, Dillon Doinklon, Tristan Rennie, and Tommy Calvert as they keep the flame alive in an often-overlooked corner of skateboarding.

It wouldn’t be the Pacific NorthWest without a bit of rain. But that didn’t dampen the mood of the park skateboarders as they waited for the moment we were all waiting for, and the show that ensued did not disappoint.

While in kindergarten, learning different shapes, letters, how to count, and all other foundation skills, Tristan Rennie knew that he wanted to be a professional skateboarder. Little did kindergarten Tristan know that dream would come true, but his adult self is now taking up a career that most kids would pick as their dream job.
Tristan has devoted 20 years of his life to skateboarding. He has covered contest podiums, compiled remarkable footage, and continues to keep the spirit of backyard pool skating alive. Only most recently, in the past four years, has everything outside of skateboarding changed for Tristan, as he becomes a father and husband, which leads him to build a career safety net outside of skateboarding. Get an in-depth look into Tristan’s current life decisions, goals, and dreams in his latest Portraits video.
