What a great end to a terrific week. First the Skateboarding Hall of Fame on Thursday night (a post with pics on that awesome evening later this week!) where Steve Van Doren was honored with an Icon Award - yes!! Then the 2015 Vans Pool Party on Sunday where we got to witness some amazing skateboarding. It wasn't just the pro skaters who were killing it, the masters & legends divisions were some of the most impressive group of skaters to date.
One of my favorite new additions to the Vans Pool Party is the half time show. This year the demo included Vans' Girls Combi Winners - 15 year old Poppy Starr Olsen and 10 year old Brighton Zeuner, eleven year old phenom Asher Bradshaw, and one of my favorite skaters, Mike Rogers from Grind for Life .Vans also presented Mike with a check for $1,000 for his foundation which helps educate, inspire, and also offers financial assistance, for those dealing with cancer and their families.
Many thanks to Steve Van Doren, Kristy Van Doren, Kathy Miranda and crew, Dave Duncan, Bryce Kanights and all the judges, as well as Don & Danielle Bostick for all their hard work in putting on such an awesome and well run event!
