The design of a new addition to the skatepark in Rangiora, New Zealand apparently has some of the locals feeling like they’re getting the shaft, according to a story on One News Now.
“To roll with the pun, it’s [been] a bit of a cock-up,” local skater Mark Pijnenburg told Fairfax media. . .It’s already been labelled “the dick bowl” by some locals, he said. . . Public submissions against the design have been made including one saying it “looks like a giant doodle”.
Not sure what they’re pissed off about really. Certainly some skaters will find the new bowl fun to ride. Plus, it appears to have a lot to grind. We just hope it’s not too hard for the kids. Locals need to nut up and remember that sometimes a bowl is just a bowl.

Vans is continuing their 50th Anniversary celebration with the release of their Vans Pro Classic Anniversary Collection tomorrow, March 16, 2016.
Anecdoted by its original year of release, each style in the Vans Pro Classics Anniversary Collection pays homage to influential cultural milestones from Vans’ groundbreaking era of 1966-2000. What began as simple renovations in color, fabric and shape bolstered true connections with action sports icons such as original Dogtown Z-boy Stacy Peralta, celebrated surfer Duke Kahanamoku, and Vans’ skateboarding legend Christian Hosoi.
For the official word from Vans and a closer look at all the shoes, follow the jump.

Skateboarder Joey Brezinski has been creating and editing his own video parts for years. Lately, he (like most of us) has been using his iPhone for most of his video work and with that comes the need for other lenses. olloclip has them and Joey uses them. Probably long before he was paid to do it. Check it.

Tommy Guerrero and Ray Barbee talk a little more about music than skateboarding, but that’s kind of nice on a Wednesday — skateboarding, community, music. And some quality people talking about it.

Vans is stepping up the world skatepark riding contest scene with the first ever men’s and women’s world championship tour titled the Vans Pro Skate (PS) Park Series.
Showcasing an international roster of top pros, and a total prize purse in excess of one half-million U.S. dollars, the inaugural Vans PS Park Series establishes the premier global points ranking system for Men’s and Women’s park terrain skateboarding. The 2016 Vans PS Park Series season consists of four Men’s PS Global Qualifiers and one Women’s PS Global Qualifier occurring over five months and across four continents, culminating with the Vans PS Park Series World Championships.
Nice to see all around transition rippers getting the world title recognition they deserve. We’re guessing our favorites Curren Caples and Grayson Fletcher will shut this series down. For the official word from Vans, (including event dates and locations) please follow the jump.
