21 epic photos from the 2018 Vans Park Series Vancouver

Hastings Skatepark was packed with fans this weekend to see the gravity-defying jumps at the 2018 Vans Park Series.

The setting suited Pedro Barros just fine, as the Brazilian captured his second-straight Vancouver title. Italy’s Ivan Federico and American Alex Sorgente finished second and third, respectively.

Barros landed a monstrous backside 540 on the hipped spine, scoring the only 90-point run in the Mother Hastings course. It’s Barros’ second podium appearance in the 2018 VPS season so far, after earning second place at last month’s event in Brazil.

Here’s 21 epic photos from the event, shot by photographers Anthony Acosta and Dan Mathieu:
