Mission Accomplished – Vans Hi Standard series successfully brought some style to European snow resorts. Paying homage to the roots of the brand, Vans introduced a new concept in ‘competitive’ snowboarding for 2013. Coinciding with the 20th anniversary of Vans’ first snowboard boots, the Hi Standard series aimed to bring the fun and style back to competition. Events took place in major European snowboard resorts throughout March and April, and featured an original big air format and rail jam. Riders were ...

Arthur Longo and Markus Keller have been doing some serious Spring pipe shredding in Kitzsteinhorn, Austria while filming for Markus' CHAMåLEON video project. You already know these guys have style for days, so the footage should be sick. In the meantime, check out Vernon Deck's photo blog for some behind the scenes shots.

Andreas heads to Mammoth with the Vans Team to test out his pro model boot in Episode 3 of Rockstar Energy's "Under The Wiig".

Eric Willett battled Canadian riders like Maxence Parrot and Charles Reid as he braved the weather and rode his way into second place. Check out the excellent video of Eric Willett's full run from ...

The 2013 Holy Bowly took place in Tenjin, Japan last weekend, and Vans legend Jamie Lynn was there along with riders like Forest Bailey, Austin Hironaka, Blake Paul and Zak Hale. More skate session than snowboard contest, The Holy Bowly is gathering of shredders showing style by pumping carved trannies, blasting snake runs and throwing straight air over huge hips. Transworld was on hand to cover all the action, and they have a good Holy ...

Following a successful trip to Arlberg in Austria, the CHAMäLEON crew head to Wyoming for more pow-fueled adventures.

Last weekend the Vans Hi Standard hit Scotland for the last stop of the 2013 series, and it went out with a bang; the last Van Doren Style Dollars have been spread, the most stylish moves rewarded and the blow from the Worst Slam softened by a little recognition. The weather in the Scottish Highlands is notoriously unpredictable, but luckily the sun was shining down on us all day. The park crew had created a truly epic set-up, matching the ...

Hana Beaman, Leanne Pelosi, Erin Comstock, Danyale Patterson and friends hit the streets of Alaska.

The Snow keeps dumping and we’re actually not so sure if April really means springtime anymore. What it for sure does mean is snow and this makes us stoked to still be riding. If you are, what you really should do is grab a couple girl friends and head over to Kitzsteinhorn, Austria on the 13th of April for a great day of riding with one of the worlds top female snowboarders, none less than Cheryl Maas. Volcom, Nitro ...

With the Vans Hi Standard Series wrapping up with the final competition at Cairngorm Mountain, Scotland over the weekend, this seems as good a time as any to post the highlights from the last two legs. The first leg, in Les Arcs attracted entrants from all over the Alps. And while the Frenchies did well, we’re most stoked on the fact that long-serving British seasonnaire James ‘Honeymonster’ Phillips (him in the pink Dalikfodda beanie) apparently grabbed himself a bunch ...
