If you weren’t able to make it to Vans’ HQ in Costa Mesa, California on the evening on May 15, 2026 the Skateboarding Hall of Fame and Museum was kind enough to post the entire induction ceremony on Youtube. You might even see some people you know.
We snapped a couple photos. Check them out here. It was great seeing everyone. Sorry for all the yapping. If you know, you know.
And below are some shortcuts links for those who want to get straight to it (click the link to watch a clip then hit the back button in your browser to return here):
Seems Nike SB is Creased, by Johnny Wilson. “Twelve skaters. Five cities. Two photographers and a filmer. The Nike SB Air Force 1. Re-engineered for skateboarding.” Enjoy.
When the editors of The Snowboarder’s Journal decided to go with a pure stoke photo for the cover of their print magazine, they never imagined how far the story of Mike Yoshida’s photo would carry. . . or, maybe they did.
Another example of over-engineering a simple binding/board interface to add more slop to your snowboarding experience. The ShredLORDby Fusion Ride.
The fact that Fusion Ride’s founder claims this is the “world’s first snowboard suspension system” shows how little research they’ve actuallydone. Binding suspension and quick pivot “inventions” seem to pop up continually.
But hey, if you want to help Fusion Ride bring their product to market, by all means, support their Kickstarter.
