The Vans crew just returned from a week in Guam riding skateparks, snorkeling and doing demos for the troops at the US Navy base. Guam is a small tropical island about 1400 miles off the coast of Japan that has been inhabited for about 4000 years. Right now is a US territory and has insane scuba, snorkeling and a kick ass skatepark. This is the Van's team's 3rd time to Guam (2007 & 2010) and it was just as hot as the last two trips. Watch out for the video of Gary Young, Alistair Whitton, Michael Steingraber, Dennis McCoy, Coco Zurita and Ryan Guettler getting tropical in the next couple weeks. Big Thanks to Bill Marx with the NEX for all the hospitality.

Sandoval and Guettler Go HAM at Maddog Contest
2/25/13
Dan Sandoval and Ryan Guettler and Scotty Cranmer made it out to Maddog's contest this weekend in snowy Indiana and came away with some great finishes. As you can imagine, there were lots of whips, flips and 720s being held at Maddog's skatepark, so they all had their work cut out for them. Between the snowball fights and pizza, Sandoval won the whole shebang and Guettler held down third place on the podium. Everyone who could clear the massive box jump was loving it, but that step down just looks scary. For all the wild action check out the video.
