Vans reintroduced it in January of 2013 after some major design changes. In the video below, Geoff Rowley discusses the changes to shoe and compares it to the original.

That’s why the photo you see above — which Hawk posted on his Instagram account earlier this week — has been met with a great deal of backlash. There’s nothing wrong with Hawk having fun with his daughter in his private skate park, but some of his 3 million followers were outraged by the fact that the young child was not wearing a helmet or any other safety equipment. Hawk later added this photo with the following message: “For those that say I endanger my child: it’s more likely that you will fall while walking on the sidewalk than I will while skating with my daughter,” he wrote. At least there were no idiotic reporters around to flatten little kids on skateboards like this one did, but I can see both sides of the argument. Tony has been skating his entire life and feels just as comfortable on his board as we do in our sneakers, and we wouldn’t make our kids wears helme...

A skateboarder traveling about 40 mph collided with a deer during the Buffalo Bill Downhill race in Golden, Colo. The video shows the deer running across the road. That’s when it collided with the skateboarder. The two of them rolled into the dirt and the trees on the side of the road.

After the legendary skateboarder finally completed the first 900 in the sport's history during the 1999 X Games, his feat was one-upped on Monday... by a sixth-grader. Tom Schaar, 12, of Malibu Calif. landed the first-ever 1080 -- three complete rotations -- before any other boarder, professional or amateur. Schaar completed the 1080 at a skate park in Tehachapi, Calif., on just his fifth try. "It was the hardest trick I've ever done, but it was easier than I thought," Schaar told ESPN.com on Friday. Skateboarding fans, keep an...

Quick, name the last person you’d like to see in a sex tape. Did you say Carrot Top? It’s a statistical fact that when pressed with this question, 70% of Americans say Carrot Top. And, uh, this is the second worst. A butt naked Shaun White smiled for the camera … while messing around on a bed with a hot naked lady back in 2009 … and now the X-rated photos are being shopped around town … TMZ has learned. Sources tell TMZ … the photos were taken at a hotel party … a short time before The Flying Tomato won a gold medal at the 2009 Winter X-Games for Superpipe (haha … superpipe). The “haha” aside and the landslide of ellipses are theirs, not mine. Or, as TMZ would write it, The “haha” aside … and the landslide of ellipses … are theirs … not mine … TMZ has learned.
