VANS PROPELLER MAKES SKATEBOARDING HISTORY

Vans’ first-ever, feature length global skateboarding video, PROPELLER, saw its highly anticipated world premiere in Los Angeles last night, debuting to hundreds of passionate skateboarding fans in celebration of true skateboarding history. Making a grand entrance in the famous Vans Sk8-Hi car, Godfather of Vans Steve Van Doren proudly took the mic as he introduced the film alongside the illustrious Vans Pro Skate team, a momentous gathering of over four generations of skateboarding on a single stage. Resounding applause filled the theater throughout the showing, fueling the evening with sincere emotion and pride held by loyal fans, industry friends and families, legends, pros and the devoted Vans team. The festivities topped off with a lively after party featuring performances by Ray Barbee and Tommy Guerrero, culinary taste by Pizzanista!, tons of Vans giveaways, and the stars of the film mingling amongst the crowds. Vans embraces this milestone 49 years in the making, and last night’s epic celebration was the first of many to come.

While our friends at Thrasher Magazine and Ride Magazine put together some cool video interviews, Transworld Skateboarding were also in the house and have a nice slideshow of the event.

The tour continues! PROPELLER makes its international film debut with stops in Europe, Asia, Australia, Canada and Mexico.
