Method & Monster Energy present: MTN x DNA With Will Smith

Pivoting from the steep and deep of British Columbia backcountry to the lesser-known snowboard mecca of the English countryside, Episode 4 of our MTN x DNA series takes a wander with the Fresh Prince of Leeds, Mr. Will Smith. One of the most prominent English riders on the international scene today, Will has made a name for himself both with his technical street video segments and his work with paint and pen.

In this latest episode Will takes us to the dryslope where he first got his start, to the indoor where he cut his teeth and back to his home studio where he has recently created for Vans First Layer projects and much more. Dig in!

Look out for more MTN x DNA episodes dropping this Fall.

Stay Basket Presents Byen Er Vår

Is there a better day to watch Simon Houlind, the Jah'est of them all, and his homies full bake the streets in their latest video 'Byen Er Vär'? Perfect to watch with a fat chiller this one. Simon explains, "When we first thought of making this movie I was sitting together with Tobias, Andreas and Rasmus. We hadn't been riding that much together in a long time and we missed filming and shredding for a whole winter again.
So we talked about making a street movie that would be as cheep as possible, since most guys didn't have any budget for the winter. we planned out some trips to Oslo where we lived at Tobias and Jessi's place. During those days we ended up filming together with Jakub "shymonkey" and Endre who both where living in the same house, also we invited other good homies who was hyped to join on missions like Didric, Oivind and Will that joined for different amount of time. The focus was just to have fun, ride street and don't be too serious about anything. Hope this inspires more people to go ride some street on any level. Stay Basket."

Vans Presents First Layer Russia: A Short Film | Snow | VANS

The First Layer project returns with another epic adventure, and this year the spotlight falls on Russia.
Europe’s finest street riders took on a journey to experience the cold and endless urban jungle of Russia. Riders, Benny Urban, Will Smith, Antti Jussila, Sami Luhtanen, Nikita Sekh, Cees Wille and Kevin Trammer started their exploration in Moscow, before heading east to Novosibirsk, Siberia for part two of the trip.

“Our trip to Novosibirsk was definitely one of a kind! I think there is almost no location in the world where Street Snowboarding is as special as this far east in Siberia,” says Benny Urban, Vans Snow Team.

“ Street riding is really intriguing to most of us. How come you spend time in the city when you could be in the montain reconnecting with the elements? Well, what if you grew up in Helsinki, Quebec or Moscow? What if snowboarding in the street is just as natural for you as playing in your backyard? With huge cities and tons of snow, Russia is a promising playground for those who reinterpret the urban environment. When you spend twelve hours a day in the street, you get to experiment with Russian vibes, even if it’s hard to understand what’s really going on over there. I have to say many moments I thought, WTF are we doing here! Pulling dead dogs out of the run or signing papers in a russian police station ... and not to mention that I wasn’t the one bailing in the landing after multiple attempts. It’s crazy to observe a team effort and the guys willingness to get something as trivial as a video clip. Russia was challenging, definitely not as smooth as a ‘walk in the park’ but a unique experience and one where memories have been made,” says Bruno Rivoire, Vans Snow Team Manager.

To accompany the launch of the short film, Matt Georges has produced a limited edition newspaper version which will be available in select Vans stores across Europe.
