Sean Goff eaten by the Hastings cradle

Big shout out to legendary UK skater Sean Goff this week who came a cropper whilst tackling the Hastings Cradle this at this weekend’s Battle of Hasting’s comp. He managed to dislocate his shoulder and break his wrist in the fall that saw him drop 14ft from the cradle’s jaws.

The scans here show the shoulder injury. The right hand side shows just how far the humerus bone had popped out the joint. Get well soon mate.

Official: Jason Dill returns to Vans shoes

Vans welcome back Jason Dill and celebrate his skate career with a spread of his coverage over the years.

“Over two decades ago, long before ever getting on Alien Workshop or even turning pro, a very young 12-year-old from Huntington Beach named Jason Dill was sponsored by Vans (as seen in his first interview ever in Big Brother #15 from 1994). Since then Jason has lived a thousand lives, ridden for a few different shoe companies, put out numerous classic video parts, been to many creative barbers and produced countless interviews. After so much time apart it is our esteemed honor to welcome Jason back to the Vans team with five days of coverage in a full-blown Vans Rider’s Week..”
