Watch: Chima Ferguson’s “Nice to See You” Raw Footage
Remember Chima Ferguson’s segment in “Nice to See You”? Of course you do. That footage was nuts. Now you can see the 35-minute rough cut for a peek at all the blood sweat and tears that went into that heavy Vans part. No doubt in our minds that the legend put in 110%. Mad respect.

Watch How Old Decks Transformed into Custom Benches in this Video
Watch Welcome Skate Shop staff and their friends turn old decks into custom benches in this video released by Vans as part of their efforts to promote artists and creativity. Welcome Skate Shop is based in Leeds, UK.
What’s great about this bench is that you can remove the top (the one made with old decks) and now you have a skateable bench. It has storage too so you have a place for your new skateboards or whatever needs storing.
A skateboarder may need to replace their decks in a few months to a year, depending on how hard they grind and how often they ride. Probably millions of skateboards are discarded each year and most of them end up in landfills.
This is just one of the ways worn-out decks can be repurposed. There are also initiatives to recycle and repurpose old wheels to keep them out of landfills.
