Couple of things I've never seen. The man really loved 3 up 3 down.

So many timeless clips in here, gap to crook at 2:51 being one of many.


Happy Birthday Van.

His skating was so ahead of its time. It's such a downer that his life and skate career ended so early.

[Jim and Dan]

One of the best to ever do it, so glad that his legacy is constantly continued and new footage surfaces on the regular.

Rip Van one of my favorite skateboarders ever

On a side note I noticed that the van wastell instagram account is following sheeple skateboards. Lols.

one of my first favorite skaters who influenced me greatly. I had a vans add of him smith grinding (I think, could have been a tailslide) a rail on my wall in 2002/2003. Van made front tail fs shoves fashionable.

[Allen.]

Ahead of his time, for fucking sure. Skateboarding as a whole got robbed of his future influence.
