Ronnie Sandoval

Watching the unofficial Mayor of San Pedro’s Channel Street Park, Vans Pro Ronnie Sandoval glide across a skatepark with his signature effortless grace is nothing short of a work of art. It would only make sense that one of the most stylish and artistic skateboarders in history, Mark Gonzales, would take notice. It wasn’t long after we started seeing Ronnie rip the Vans Park Series, first hand, with his own brand of tricks mixed with classic stiff-armed inverts the we knew he was a perfect fit for the Vans family.
