Vans team dinner + demo

On 11th November 2011, VANS flew in few of their riders to Hong Kong/China. AVE, Gilbert Crockett, Chima Ferguson, Chris Pfanner and Andrew Allen came along with Greg Hunt, Anthony Acosta, Cody Lane (filmer) and Jamie Hart (team manager). It was dope to see a bunch of good people. They are here to do a demo for Hong Kong and kind enough to show up at our (8FIVE2SHOP x Vans) 1st DVD premier 'HOLLIEDAY' then heading to China for their mission. China is the office for skateboarders, you want to get things done, go to China. DONE! Spots for days, marble for days and massages for days.

• If you are planning of going to China, go to Guang Zhou and Shen Zhen, best 2 cities with dopest spots.

The first night they arrived, we took them to CHILLI CRAB joint, a very typical Hong Kong seafood restaurant. They were all super psyched except Cody who's allergic to seafood, oops!

Anthony Acosta and Cody Lane, not psyched with seafood.

THANK YOU so much to Kristy and Pro B for the hard work!

The next day, we had the demo at Fan Ling skatepark which according to many, it's the best skatepark here in Hong Kong. Super amazing ground. Thanks to Warren for making it happen and for officially opening Fan Ling skatepark to the public on the 13th Nov 11. Go there now and enjoy concrete.

My Hong Kong favorite DJ; GhostStyle (24Herbs). Best choices of music.

Anthony Acosta got his camera ready 24-7. Check out his photos at www.anthonyacosta.com, super super ill!

Andrew Allen has a dope ass style.

AVE, Pro B and Chima.

Chima is so fucking good.

Chris Bradley did a proper frontside nosegrind. Sorry for chopping your hand off.

Chun Chai represents Hong Kong. Respect.

Love this dude.

Chris Pfanner were floating around. Sometimes I thought I saw a giant black bird.

Sir Pops A Lot; Gilbert Crockett.

Tincan Folklore; OG and OG. Greg Hunt and WZA.

Forever31 Lee Hawk still got it.

So good to see Richard Hobbs again. It's been a minute.

After the demo, we all had dinner at Sweet Basil (my favorite Thai restaurant) then headed to UA Cinemas Times Square for HOLLIEDAY premier. After party was held at Lan Kwai Fong. It was probably the best day for HK local skateboarders. Once again, thank you VANS for the love. VANS never stop showing that they are for real supporting skateboarding worldwide. Salute.
