15 Photos from the Van Doren Invitational 2015 Vancouver

Vans transformed Mother Hastings skatepark into a public art display with collaborative efforts by prominent artists in time for for the Van Doren Invitational 2015.

The Van Doren international 2015 invited some of the top skateboarders from around the world to battle it out for bragging rights and a slice of that a $75,000 prize money.

Vancouver is a skateboarding mecca in North America and this event is a nice way to highlight that.

Yesterday, I photographed an entirely different sort of thing – the Van Dorean Invitational skate competition. Took me back to those high school days when I used to ride a half pipe and teach kids how to skate at camp – another life!

Thanks for the fun times Vancouver. You and your skate scene rule. And thanks @dvargs for the constant shallow end entertainment. Foot wrap sweeper looking tight
