Steve Caballero and Steve Van Doren


So, for the Vans RV tour this years legendary pro was Steve Caballero. Accompanying the group was Steve Van Doren, the original owner of vans, "the man that started it all!" Caballero skated our two spined bowls and let me know that the spine was absolutely perfect. He was really enjoying himself and was handling the transition with that buttery smooth perfection that has kept him pro for the last 25+ years. After skateboarding for a while Caballero came in to check out the shop and spotted some kids Halfcabs, of which he was unable to get at the warehouse as they had been out of stock for some time. His daughter and son wore a child's size 11 and 2 and what are the chances that the last two sizes we had were exactly that. It was kind of surreal pulling the two pairs of kids Halfcabs out of the back and selling them at full price,"the only way they would have it" to the founded of the Vans brand and the namesake of the shoes themselves. Thanks again Vans for including Southside Skatepark on your Vans RV Tour. It is always a good time and a nice chill day at the park.
