Vans Park Series at Vancouver

Published 7/13/2017 by Rob Meronek

Pedro's been denied by Canadian Customs in the past, so this year when he was let through for the first time, he had some pent up energy to release on Hastings, and man did it release. Pedro's power combined with this crowd's enthusiasm made for a great Saturday afternoon of the best park skating in the world here in Vancouver. Some photos and video highlights are below.
