Vans Skateboarding is proud to present Lizzie, a short 35mm film directed by renowned filmmaker Greg Hunt. Unveiling a personal, intimate account of Lizzie Armanto beyond her skateboarding accolades and identity as one of the world’s most talented skateboarders, the film is the first to explore Lizzie’s life through the lens of those closest to her, including her mother, husband as well as skate legend Tony Hawk.
Lizzie Armanto finally has her own pro model shoe for Vans. From the moment CCS heard this shoe was coming out they were stoked to get out with Lizzie to learn more and get to see her skating in them. CCS figured there was no better way for her to put them to the test than by putting in a few hours at her vert ramp. Lizzie effortlessly gave us 100 walls with the help of a few friends (and husbands). Make sure to grab a pair of Lizzie’s shoe at CCS.com.
Vans, the original action sports brand and global leader in skateboarding for more than 50 years, is proud to partner with the East London-based skate brand, Lovenskate on a customisable 3-piece collection.
