[manuduncan]

any reason for more rowan footage is a good one

big fan of his first vans shoe, up there with the kyle walker 1s as the most comfy skate shoe they have

[Cheshire Cat]

This just made me realise that this whole time people were talking about Rowan and his Vans shoe I thought they were in fact talking about Dee Ostrander.

Personally I like both of them but this was a strange realisation.

[kelbywest]

here we go

[anillusionofthepants]

Diego Todd batting 1000 in this one
my jaw dropped for both of his clips

[Shortys Hardware]

Immaculate vibes in this one...less hype but a lot better than Keepsake..


Diegos clip on the curved ledge, WOW


The angle on Rowans sw flip sw manny should've been the angle for Austyns sw tre....showed how much gnarlier the hill is after....Rowan, who is the one of most comfortable switch stance skaters ever didn't even want to take it switch

[backside_frontside]

Rowan never disappoints. Chima's switch inward and ET's noseblunt were great as well.

Way better than Keepsake

The Kyle Walker 1’s were honestly amazing.

[Gnarfunkell]

Rowan is simply the best and god damn do I love watching him skate.

Not crazy about the look of his new shoe, but once they have an all black colorway, I'll snag a pair just to support his ass.

[rawbertson.]

why was the line in Paris not the ender?!?!? reminds me of when spencer hit that spot except he did it freaking switch?!?! that is such a pro spot, have to be out of your mind to handle it switch like that from end to end.

[theoriginalgoon]

Rowan is the man

[heinzketchup]

Zion doesnt fit but this was nothing but amazing

[coldbrew]

Jesus that Diego curved ledge trick was outta nowhere and completely fucked. Rowan rules, sick watch.

[Paperclip20]

Call me crazy but the hill bomb at the end looks like they fast forwarded it? Even the audio and camera shake??

[zahed]

wow. rowan’s hill bomb power slides all the way around to switch are so buttery.

only vans rider i would have love to see with a cameo is gil. agree that zion doesn’t fit perfectly but all in all this video was awesome. casual, with rowan featured throughout but sprinkle in other riders.

Yes blessed with an AA clip!

Also guys, street Zion seems pretty chill

Rowan is the soty’s soty! Loved the first song and the shinner in the garage clip.

[OwlGreen]

Jesus Christ that was good. Vibes: 10/10. Vans might have the best team in skateboarding right now. Rowan skates like Gonz, Julien, Carroll and Guy rolled into one. An absolute natural.

[Crust]

Both Rowan and Diego are always a delight to watch; even better to see them together.

[elbarto]

God damn. Ender looked too gnarly. Great clips from everyone, Rowan is still so damn fun to watch. Diego’s curve ledge trick is trick of the year.

[figureitout]

This was fun i enjoyed, i'm definitely going to try this shoe in a black or white colorway despite the fact that i've been loyal to CONS for two years.


Side RANT: CONS needs to get their stock game right, and have the same shoes with the same colors fully stocked season in season out! 

[easymoneysniper]

i actually thought zion fit decently cuz he was at least wearing jean shorts and wifebeaters. which means he somewhat conformed to the vans aesthetic. the redbull hat did look outta place in that one clip, but he's so fucking good i dont even care

[Tireeedd]

zion doesn't fit at all sticks out like a sore thumb

Do yourself a favour and stop being loyal to corporations

I don't believe it. Look at the insane size of that gap he ollies, he had to be going insane speed and that landing feels matched up for it

[funeral_tuxedo]

Rowan and Diego <3

Definitely not sped up. That spot is the backside of Baxter st hill (Nuge My war)

The gap itself is huge, and the hill is pretty damn steep. Also the landing is complete shit. Im not sure if anyone else could ride away from that. Rowan has ridiculous board control.

Those silverlake streets like Duane feel steep in a car. 

That landing goes into the street that runs along the reservoir, no?   Not an unbusy street or one that promotes east traffic marshaling for the look out crews. 



Still think the greatest trick was the two-day turn around from premiere to web

[Kook Me Amadeus]

Zion doesnt fit but this was nothing but amazing

All because he won Dew Tour in Des Moines and qualified for the Olympics in Park.  Appreciate Vans staying committed to him despite their thinly veiled motive to cash in on his visibility from the Games.
