Anthony Van Engelen Retrospective and Guy Mariano Memory Screen

Anthony Van Engelen Retrospective and Guy Mariano Memory Screen

 What's up humans? Two delectable retrospective treats right here from two of the most consistently progressive technical skateboarders out there. Each edit relates to a new product line and equally, both edits span huge parts of each skater's career.

First up, Anthony Van Engelen AKA AVE: Vans have seen fit to whip together this nine minute celebration of AVE's 19 years on Vans to coincide with the release of his new Vans model the AVE 2.0. This is a belter of a retrospective featuring footage from the Mindfield Alien Workshop era, through Propeller and into his current tenure as CEO and eternal flame over at Hockey skateboards. You ought to know what to expect already: knee high switch 360 flips in lines, Eric Dressen levels of speed and several paradigm-shifting innovations by the man himself. Ridiculous!

We'll have the AVE 2.0 online by the time you see this hopefully, along with our huge Vans range more generally. You know what to do.

Secondly and by not means of lesser import is the Memory Screen Guy Mariano retrospective dropped to coincide with Guy Mariano's new Dickies range. This Memory Screen edit is one piece of a larger project by the extremely talented Jan Maarten Sneep - watch the rest of them here. Unencumbered by the brand necessities of the AVE one, this Guy Mariano retrospective stretches way further back in time starting with Guy's LA Boys arrival in Powell Peralta's classic Ban This video. Every clip you want to see is in this, charting every era of Mariano's long and completely uncontested reign as the greatest street skater of all time. It's probably unnecessary to say much else really - just go watch it and revel in this wunderkind's output over the last 4+ decades. Mind-blowing.
