Vans is hard to put black skaters as emerica and toy.

I know vans has a few, but in a team of 30 skaters like 3 black dudes.
[close]

Ray, Chima, Glick, Pfanner, JHenry, and Beatrice are the only Black skaters on vans
49 skaters listed on the team page, ~12% of the team is Black

I think you interpreted his Ancestry.com results incorrectly

I'm on one, you hella right

Haha if Glick can get in there, Tyson is half and should be on the list.

Vans has definitely been slipping on sponsoring black skaters, even when counting people who were once on: TK, Darrell, Kader...can't think of anyone else.

Shows how young you kids are. Bastien Salabanzi had a pro shoe for Vans and is probably one of the best shoes they ever made.

That was such a nice shoe the one with the headphones picture right? Had the navy ones with white stripe, loved them

Crucify me Slap, but i'll definitely be tuned into the Olympics. A gold medal for Zion in Park and for Dashawn in Street would be extremely sick.
Unfortunately Jagger beat out Dashawn for an Olympics spot. Would’ve liked to see Dashawn or Jamie in there instead of Jaggof.

I remember his tricks on that curved 20 rail in the first Am Scramble were reported first try (as was that burly back at the end of Dylan Witkin’s most recent Foundation part)

The front feeble? There's footage of him trying that quite a few times somewhere

Edit - 8:32

During sex to prevent myself from ejaculating I think about Osama Bin Laden running my dick through a sewing machine.

dude we’ll all be watching. this is literally insane that skating will be in the olympics.
[close]

Is it?   It’s a skateboarding contest that’ll be on TV.   That hasn’t been that shocking of a thing since the start of the XGames in what 96?    And I’m sure it got national exposure in the 80s. 

Now if you said it’s insane breakdancing will be in the Olympics like it will be next time, then I’m on board

It’s probably a big deal to sports fans who have been conditioned to believe that certain events are incredibly important. As a non sports fan, the olympics is just another competition I have no interest in.

Sports are stupid.

im not a sports fan, nor am i a street league/xgames/whatever else is out there fan, but it’s the fucking olympics.  if we weren’t somewhat interested, it wouldn’t be one of the most talked about things up here, but it is and so that to me seems like we’re all a little curious and you’d be lying if you said we weren’t gonna at least try to watch it.

No, I wouldn't be. I have no intention of watching it and am only interested because it's unfortunately tied to a thing I love and I'm curious to see how it's going to effect the industry in the long term

Maybe it was Tyson’s trick on it.  I remember the caption said first try on that rail.

If Jagger gets food poisoning from his Chipotle burrito Jamie Foy will skate in his place. God can only hope there's salmonella over there
