Vans UK team ' Are We There Yet UK Tour '07 ' @ Stokeplaza- 3/08/07 .

 

With another fine day's weather, the plaza was packed ready to watch the huge list of skaters from Vans, turn up and shred!

The shop signing at Dazed was cancelled due to the team running late as they had 'bus trouble', so they went straight to the plaza and got cracking!

The team spread themselves out the plaza and cruised around, sessioning parts of the place and finding lines all over.

A well heated session at the jersy barrier saw some amazing stuff. Ben Grove, blunt fakie, nice b/s disaster from the recovering James Gardener, Blunt to frontside flip out from Manhead! Danny Wainwright did a f/s disaster for warm ups then did a few b/s disasters to det up for a massive ollie over the 'bin' at the path!!

The big three got punished with some big hitters with Chris Pfanner nailing f/s and b/s nollies!

A chilled little session at the gully saw Manhead flipping the 5 and trying feebles and smiths on the long 4-set rail. Ben Nordberg landed a flip on the 5-set to frontside board and a well nice flip front board!

Ben Grove backside 50-50'd the big long ledge too, then up popped Kris Vile with a nollie flip down the 5-set.

Up at the Pier-7 area, Danny Wainwright had found a line- frontside heel on the mellow bank then rolled down to the kicker to b/s 5-0 on the 'Globe wall'!

The steep-banks hip then was next to get some team attention. About 8 of the lads formed a train, popping over with b/s and f/s ollies in a synchronised line!! Well good!

Kris Vile, it has to be said, ruled this spot totally!! It's now officially owned by the Brummy- any takers??! Massive kickflips, big heelflip, tre flip, nollie flip, switch big spin, nollie inward heel, b/s360 with a kickflip and a fullcab flip!!!!

So, another successful, very chilled and enjoyable day at the plaza- keep em coming I say!!
