With the Vans Showdown heading to the Asia Pacific region, they’re giving you the chance to shape the event.

Proving their love for grassroots skateboarding, Vans have opened up their Showdown entries for skate shops around Australia to submit their best 1 min archival videos (pre-COVID) featuring three of their riders to gain entry to the competition. Winners will be judged by Kyle Walker who’ll pick one team from each market in the region, entering them into the finals.

To celebrate, Vans are also opening up an obstacle design segment of the competition, allowing anyone who has a creative streak to enter and help design an obstacle that they could actually make for the comp. There are five spots available for the raddest designs. Head here for more info and to check your local skateshop’s entry, or download the design template right here:
