On June 13th @GeoffRowleys newest shoe will be released #rowleyXvans. In the meantime were going to count down the days with a daily dose of our favorite Rowley @vans ads through the years. This ad for his Style 99s was/is/always will be one of the gnarliest things done on a skateboard.

Who did it best? Basically a @grossosucks Love Letter to the OG street guys. Some people have been floating the idea that freestylers invented street skating. This episode of Love Letters will tell the other side of the story. The guys who made the tricks look cool and fun are the ones who deserve the credit - @tommyguerrero, @oscarputdowntheknife, Gonz, @nblender, @lancemountain etc.
Pretty much every trick has been a battle for me. Nothing came easy. The worst one was the one right down the street from my house, the wallride on the neon sign for the Santa Monica Airport. It took me 9 times of going there. It was so frustrating having to drive by it day after day, it was like it was laughing at me until I finally got it. Elijah Berle
All terrain killing machine and man child Elijah Berle @earlberle had one of the most diverse parts in #VansPropeller. Watch his newly released RAW FILES at vans.com/propeller and witness all blood, sweat and tears that goes into making an epic video part.

Were proud to announce @geoffrowley's new shoes, [ROWLEY] SOLOS, dropping this Saturday, June 13th, in skateshops everywhere. With @Vans since 1999, Geoff is super-influential in modern street skating for pioneering big, tech tricks with a go-for-broke style. Not surprisingly, Geoff demands the same qualities of style and durability from his shoes and these Solos are arguably one of the sickest shoes Geoff has ever designed. For the past month its all weve been skating. Were super-stoked on them and think youll back em too. #vansxrowley
Im the type of guy that when I find a spot I like when I get there I want to get right into it. If someone is taking too long to set up it completely fucks with my head and once the trick has left my mind I basically cant do it anymore. - @chimaferguson on his approach to filming.
Watch Chimas Raw Files on the #VansPropeller site now (link in profile). Wed say between the amount of footage he stacked for his opener part and these extras that everyone did a good job of staying out of Chimas head.
