Vans Shop Riot is a unique series created by Vans that showcases the best street skaters in Europe. It provides a genuine platform for acknowledgment and community to the core skateboard scene as well as the top skate shop teams from all across Europe.

The event originated from a grassroots competition held at Burnside Skatepark in the Netherlands back in 2009. Over time, it has rapidly evolved and continues to grow to this day.

Pro skateboarders from all around the world went head-to-head in the 2023 Bowl Rippers event held in Marseilles, France.

Bryce Wettstein from the USA took the lead in the women’s event, followed by fellow American Ruby Lilley and Japanese Yurin Fujii.

In the men’s division, Danny Leon beat the finalists with a score of 80.7. Jean Pantaleo came in second place, and Tom Schaar completed the podium.

Started in 2016, the Bowl Rippers competition celebrates in-park skating in a jam-session atmosphere with top competitors. This year marked the sixth edition of the contest.
