Vans Shop Riot 2023 Finals | Shop Riot | Vans After a summer of heated qualifiers, the Vans Shop Riot Finals have returned. In partnership with Spitfire, Oakley and Stance, the 13th edition of the Finals landed for the first time at Manchester's Graystone Action Sports to crown this year’s best skate shop team in Europe. For two days, the 13 best Skate Shop teams of the continent battled across different terrains and obstacles. First, they had a cash for tricks session on a mystery obstacle designed by Skateboard Café. Things got even more heated as the teams moved on to the Riot Finals contest in the street course. To wrap things up, the contest came to a close with a heavy Best Trick Bowl Jam, in partnership with Spitfire. At the end, it was Venero who came out on top, taking the crown for the third time in a row and becoming the first ever shop to achieve a three-peat. The legendary “Antihero graphics duder” Todd Francis joined us from LA and brought the stoke with an exhibition of his work and original Shop Riot artwork that took place across the weekend, paying tribute to the event’s rich and riotous history. Some of Todd’s prints were raffled off with all donations going to The Ben Raemers Foundation.

Skateboarding and Mental Health Skateboarding has amazing physical and mental health benefits – but we too often like to pretend skateboarding is all we need. However, as we get older and life creates new challenges, skateboarders are not impervious to life’s obstacles. Every now and then, just like rehabbing a skate injury, skaters need help getting back to full mental strength. Collectively as a community, skateboarding, with the help of some amazing individuals and organizations, is pushing the mental health conversation forward. The community is removing the stigma of asking for help in order to better understand how skateboarding can be used as an auxiliary to mental health therapy, positive psychology, and even as a form of rehab. #skateboarding #mentalhealth #therapy
