Vincent’s part from the Static V video, originally released in 2014. We just noticed that this awesome part is not readily available online and that’s a crime. So we’re bringing it to you here in exquisite quality to enjoy and appreciate.

The brand new Woodward Riviera Maya down in Mexico at the Hard Rock Riviera Maya resort. To kick things off, Woodward flew in top pros from around the world to break in the new facility and celebrate with us. Including Aaron Homoki, Alex Sorgente, Andy MacDonald, Anthony Napolitan, Austin Raye, Brighton Zeuner, Chase Hawk, Chris Cole, Clay Kreiner, Daniel Dhers, David Loy, Elliot Sloan, Felipe Gustavo, Garrett Reynolds, Jake Johnson, Julian Diagre, Karen Jonz, Kevin Peraza, Kriss Kyle, Leticia Bufoni, Neal Hendrix, Sandro Dias, Tom Wallisch, Tony Hawk, Van Homan, Vincent Alvarez and Zach Wallin. Props to our homies at GoPro, The Boardr and CA Rampworks for all the help with the event and a big thank you to everybody that came out to the celebration.
In the first episode of the season, Nate Wessel and the Build Woodward crew recreated the most iconic ramp in the history of skateboarding, the Animal Chin Ramp. The legendary ramp was constructed in the back corner of what was once just an ordinary tennis court. To complete the transformation from tennis court to skatepark, Nate went to work on designing a concrete street park to surround the Chin Ramp and brought in the boys from California Skateparks to pour some concrete and complete the project. Foreman Santiago Lopez takes us through the creation of two specific features in the new park: a steep corner-quarterpipe and a cantilevered bump-to-bump with some cool concrete finishing touches. Once the concrete is dry and the park is complete, Jake Hayes, Ronnie Sandoval, Peter Hewitt, Vincent Alvarez, Tom Knox and Adrian Adrid from the Dickies Skate Team stop by to check it out and shred.
A couple Girl/Chocolate OG’s and some fresh faces hit the local plaza… featuring Vincent Alvarez, Mike Carroll, Griffin Gass, Becker Dunn, James Capps, Andrew Brophy and Hakeem Ducksworth.
