[Changes]

This is based around Elijah Berle and K-Walks right?

[Ghost Face]

I Suck on Vans?

[Plop]

Ronnie Sandoval?

[DannyDee]

Hyped for any footage from the Vans team, particularly K-walks and Elijah. Sandoval seems like a good guess.

[Paco Supreme]

Ronnie Sandoval?

Thats the buzz, id be down for a ronnie part, dude can rip

[Changes]

Jackson Pilz?

[Zeep Zander]

tyson peterson

[h00man]

Probably Ronnie. Kwalks good contender for SOTY as of now. Up there with Even

[mynameisnotjeff]

(Crosses fingers) Please be Johan, please be Johan

[alraunen]

Can't wait to see that part, and probably there's gonna be footage of Ronnie Sandoval too

PS: Chima was not supposed to be on the video? or they cutted him because he's not on the soty list contenders

[Syhr]

Please let there be Crockett footage!

[Zurg]

(Crosses fingers) Please be Johan, please be Johan

which johan?

[natenola forever]

introduce Ronnie Sandoval and last second SOTY push for Kyle Walker? Theres actually a few dudes from Vans in the running so maybe it's a push for a few guys.

[KronLaFlare]

praying Clive Dixon got fully on?.in reality it's probably Ronnie

[StinkyLarry]

Please let there be Crockett footage!

[mattchew]

Whoa, sick!
Ronnie would be dope--I wasn't super familiar with him until this most recent Thrasher issue but was an immediate fan. Dude rips.
Also could be Aidan Mackey maybe? I feel like he's always wearing Vans?

[Hannity]

ooooh boy this should be good. between Greg, Cody and Ryan the Vans filmers are on point. hoping for a Thrasher release on Friday, the weekend's gonna be lit

Was gonna say this too! That would be awesome. He only had a couple of clips in the new WKND edit? Maybe he's been stacking clips for this?

He had an interview with like Green Zine saying for the new WKND video, he had a song and was filming for another full part. I figured he was gonna go pro. Surprised he only had four clips. Maybe shit got real with Vans, and his footy went to this. IDK. He did say in his Heaps Chat interview that he doesn't really communicate with anyone there much, though.

[Harem]

I don't think Johan has been on any trips with vans.


My guess would be Ronnie Sandoval or Tyson Peterson. Peterson obviously made a impact on the team when he went on tour with them, and is feature quite heavily in the latest Thrasher.

Aka Dollins lost Propellar part premiere.

I can't be the only one on here who thinks Johan isnt good enough to ride for vans.
he has good style, but... they arent gonna put him on.

Love him but this. He should have stayed with huf, anyone know why he left?

Because he had already quit once before for Habitat (they made him ride the shoes), so when he got back on, he wasn't a priority. Said in a Fos.fm interview that the new guys (Rizzo, Janderson) were deemed more important than him.

I don't see how anyone would think Johan isn't good enough. He's a far better skater than Ronnie Sandoval. That kickflip back smith at the end of American WKND was incredible. Dude's been gnarly for years. From big rails to tech ledge tricks and creative lines. I don't think he's getting on either, but he's more than good enough.

[Coastal Fever]

I prefer to watch street skating.  So if it's between Tyson and Ronnie, I hope it's Tyson.

Maybe it also has something to do with the fact that Huf didn't see WKND as a proper board company at the time? Kinda the same situation with Ryan Lay.

I think Ronnie's something like 10 years younger than Johan, maybe not that much but it cant be that far off either.

Calling Johan "better" is like comparing apples to oranges. I doubt Johan will ever get the full nod from Vans though, he hardly holds a candle to how gnarly the rest of the team is- Rowan, Crockett, K Walk, Dan Lu... Ronnie fills a gap on vans somewhere between Elijah/TNT/Curren and Pedro/Perelson. With the Park Series posing to be the qualifier for "park style" events in the olympics, you know Vans wants the podium guys in that series and Ronnie fits that bill. Kinda like how Nike has taken over SLS and most of the guys in it...

If you think Johan will end up with a shoe sponsor you probably also think that Bert Wootton will end up with a board sponsor
