We were honored to be able to work with the city and NJ Skateshop to christen NB’s first skate park a week before the official grand opening. The Jersey skate scene has always been one of the strongest in the country and the outpouring of love and support from both City Hall and the skaters from all across the state made the already blistering hot demo a bit more warm and fuzzy.
Chicago Demo: Vans Skate Team | Skate | VANS
The Vans Skate Team set off the first stop of the Summer 2016 Vans Pro Skate Tour with a heavy session for legendary Uprise Skateshop on “Chicago’s front yard” at Grant Park.

Next stop, Westside Skateshop in Lakewood, Ohio.
