Vans Clash of the Crews 2018 Photos

Posted on Tuesday, January 23, 2018 by Chris

Another Vans Clash of the Crews is in the books and this one was one of the best yet. The turnout was great, the weather was on point, and who can argue with Johnny Layton coming to your skatepark to hang out? As part of our annual tradition, we held a Welcome to Town party the night before, complete with bonfire and a Vans Deathrace. There were even a couple shops that camped out here at the park just like old times. The next day was shop vs. shop madness, with Ramp 48 taking the top spot this year. Thanks to everyone who came out to make this a success and especially to J-Lay and Vans for being awesome.

Congratulations to entire Ramp 48 crew for totally destroying the course and taking home 1st Place in the 2018 Clash of the Crews contest here at SPoT! Are you guys going to be ready to defend your title next year?!
