VANS is a Southern California-based manufacturer of sneakers, BMX shoes and other shoe types catering primarily to the skateboarders/surfer youth market. Recently,on 6th Dec, Vans organized a competition. It was " Vans King of Gap" competition mainly for skateboarding.
I was there, but i came late. I missed the preliminary round, but i didn't miss the final round, of course. I reached there a round 2pm. The final round only starts about 4.30pm. So, i mingle around with some friends, and met some ol' friends- from KK (Wins), Miri (Nazri Lian),frm PJ (Adam, Kabut, Kechik,and the geng,) SandroRiyaz, Keiron Brodie, Padin & Maris (of course), and many more.
Among the finalist were from Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Sick and crazy tricks were been thrown down the big gap. Unfortunately, Fuad (MALAYSIA), got injured while attempting nollie heelflip. He was brought to the medic right after. He almost landed that trick. Here are the results and some photos.
BEST TRICK - King of GAP
1st - Lert Saeri (THA)- Hardflip
2nd -Farris (SIN)- Halfcab heel Indy
3rd - Syed (SIN)- Heelflip
There were also some other events such as BMX flatland demos, displays of ol'skool boards from Powel Peralta, Vision skateboards, all those single-kick boards. How i wish i could have them? And also local bands were performing after the skate competition.
