Check out this video from Vans explaining the vulcanized cupsole they developed.

Here's the full KOTR 2011 video (all webisodes, back-to-back) plus an hour of bonus footage. Enjoy the wild ride one more time.

Vans has some photos and video of the closing session from their park in Orlando.

Here's Lakai taking the win and a recap of all the insanity from one of the best KOTR's ever. Pure skateboarding, adventure, stoke, whatever you want to call it: a big thanks to Lakai, Vans, Nike SB, and Dekline for joining this strange ride.

After killing themselves (and the Challenges book), the Vans team enjoys the end of the road. Trujillo, Berle, Lutheran, Layton, Crockett, and Mystery Guest Arto Saari put on a hell of a show this year.

Jeff Grosso sits down with the innovator of the backside ollie to talk about its origin.

All four KOTR teams together makes this the best one yet. Also: Mystery Guests revealed, Juggalette make-out, crazy hill bomb, Crockett's now-legendary switch flip, and more.

To celebrate his sweet 16, Curren Caples released a sick clip on the Vans site. Happy Birthday.

Jeff Grosso catches up with Allen Losi in this week’s Loveletters to Skateboarding.
