  2. Day 5: Vans Bowl-A-Rama 2012

    Competition Day is finally here. The sun is shining, the bowl is gleaming and the crowd is amped for this years Vans Bowl-A-Rama at Bondi Beach Australia. Legends and crowd favourites compete in one of the world’s premier skate events for the title and the cash prize. Pedro Barros proves he is unstoppable, taking out the Pro Final for the third consecutive year and Steve Cabellero makes us all proud dominating the Masters. A whirlwind tour of the event plus all the action from the finals.

  3. Day 4: Vans Bowl-A-Rama 2012

    It’s the day before the contest and the practise session at the bowl is off the chain. Cab and the team suss out the bowl one last time before the big event and then head to the Love and Guts Art Show to check out skateboarders interpretation of the “empty swimming pool”. Good Times.

  4. Day 3: Vans Bowl-A-Rama 2012

    Grosso, “My two biggest concerns here are when am I gonna go skate and when am I gonna eat.” Borden, Barros, Hassan, Grosso & Siljeg talk junk & make us jealous for 4 minutes. Then head to the Broken Bones Party.

  5. Half Cab 20th Anniversary Party

    February is an epic month on our calendar with the week of Vans Bowl-A-Rama being a huge part of it. On Wednesday 22nd February we put on this exclusive party which acted as Vans’ global launch of the Half Cab 20th Anniversary. Skateboarders, friends and Vans family came together on the rooftop of the Swiss Grand Hotel in Bondi for a good old fashioned Aussie BBQ.

    20 consistent years is a rarity in any industry, let alone skateboarding. In Grosso’s own words “They don’t even make Air Jordan’s anymore”. Check it out for yourself:

    And an overview of the entire day here (party coverage from 2:20):

  6. Vans Bowl-A-Rama 2012

    I can’t even begin to describe how much goes on during the week of Vans Bowl-A-Rama. Luckily our talented friend Callum Preston creates daily videos so I don’t have to. I’ll post a video on this blog that summarises each day. Starting now!

    Day 1
    “I’m not supped to cuss, right? I BLANKING LOVE Australia,”Jeff Grosso gives us the lowdown on why he loves being back in Bondi while Borden, Cab, Barros, Siljeg & crew rip up the bowl.
