Sydney, AUSTRALIA (March 4, 2017) – Back to back rain delays did not stop the 2017 Vans Park Series Pro Tour Global Qualifiers in Australia today, as twenty of the world’s most talented park terrain skateboarders battled through a lightning round of finals heats, to inevitably crown Tom Schaar the winner of the VPS Australia Global Qualifier. With an exceptional performance leading the qualifiers and flawless runs in today’s finals, the 17-year-old perfectionist swept the crowds with his dynamic flow and precision throughout the custom-spec park terrain course. Tom Schaar’s conclusive win not only grants him the Australia Global Qualifier title, but also places him in the lead in the 2017 VPS Men's Tour Challenger Rankings.
In a well-deserved 2nd place, Ivan Federico’s calculated form and variety of tricks were in full force, while Pedro Barros’ undeterred speed and velocity earned him 3rd. For the full list of rankings and more information on the VPS Men’s Pro Tour, visit www.vansparkseries.com.

SYDNEY, Australia (March 5, 2017) – The Vans Park Series Oceania Continental Men’s Championships finally took flight this morning, challenging 19 incredible park terrain skateboarders from the local South Pacific Region for a chance to compete in the 2017 ISF-sanctioned VPS World Championships. After frequent weather delays, the regional qualifier event, which is open to local registered and approved entrants, was postponed until clear skies this morning allowed for an adjusted finals competition. New Zealand native Bowman Hansen, 24, brought on a fiery breakout performance, demonstrating an unfathomable backside boneless revert on the tombstone to secure his title win. His unyielding talent earns him the first regional VPS Oceania Continental Championship title and grants him the invite to join the VPS Select Pros in the series’ world championship event later this year.
Vans Park Series also congratulates teenage rippers Keegan Palmer, 13, and Jedd Mckenzie, 15, who rounded out the podium with a little taste of what the future generation of park terrain skateboarding will look like.
