Vans Europe Presents: Once More | Skate | VANS
The idea behind Once More is the principle of repetition in skateboarding. ‘Once more’ you go out to explore a new spot, ‘once more’ you try the same trick again hoping you’re going to make it this time, ‘once more’ you do “one last try” and ‘once more’ you leave your footprint in skateboarding. Filmed over the course of a year from September 2021 to September 2022 between Athens and Thessaloniki, the project captures the Greek Skateboarding community, highlighting the urban scenery of these historical cities.
