He could make any trick look good. Everytime I watch one of his parts I wish I skated like him, that will never happen though because his deal was so natural.

Does Krooked ever put out Van memorial boards?

I have not seen any.. any board of the sort would be a keeper though.

Bought both of his debut pro boards but unfortunately skated one of them (although, I'm sure that is what Van wouldve wanted). The surviving board is among my most treasured possessions. Was seriously my favorite skater up to his passing. With his pro status and behind the griptape episode, I was about as hyped as a 14 year old touching his first pair of tits. When I got news of his tragedy, I seriously couldn't believe it. It all happened so fast. Convinced myself it was a bad joke for a few days. You will always be the sweetest in my eyes, Van.
