Which Skater Girl Is Pictured On The Side Of The New Vans Tour Bus?



While we were at the El Gato Classic in Palm Springs this weekend watching the new wave of girls kill it on the vert ramp, we discovered something else that's very cool. 

The new graphics on the Vans motorhome include 1970's skateboarder Ellen Oneal Deason. Ellen was inducted into The Skateboard Hall of Fame in 2014 and was well known in the 70's for her graceful freestyle routines. She is an icon in our sport and was an early Vans team rider.

We're stoked to see a 70's female skater represented on the Vans bus - congrats Ellen!
