Vans would like to congratulate Bucky Lasek on his sixth place finish at last weekends Long Beach Grand Prix. Bucky had a rough start for his first year driving in the pro division. "I went into the first turn too hot and had to go off on the warning track" said Lasek. Bucky was able to work his way back into sixth position where he finished.

What makes a legend? Is a legend born out of moth-eaten texts, stories passed down from generation to generation, with each re-telling becoming more extravagant than the last? Is a legend nothing more than a series of overly tall tales which no one can refute nor prove? I try to avoid the word legend, because it generally reeks of dragons, impossibly handsome knights rescuing impossibly beautiful princesses, elves, magical dwarves, wizards and the like. A bit too 4th grade for my tastes. The problem here is that few other superlatives can accurately describe the Vans ProTec Pool Party.
The Word of Mouth show features the work of Albert Reyes, Steve Ryan and Ryan Reyes and the opening reception is on Saturday April 14th from 7pm to 11pm at the Show Cave, 1218 Temple in Los Angeles. For more info check out www.myspace.com/showcave as the show runs through May 5th
