Vans uformował swój nordycki team, w którego skład wchodzi 11 skejtów Finlandii, Danii i Szwecji. Ich pierwszy wyjazd odbył się po ich rewirach, podczas którego odwiedzili takie miasta jak Malmo, Sztokholm, Kopenhagę i Helsinki.

Vans is proud to announce the formation of the Nordic Skate Team, which consists of 11 riders from the nordic countries and has Finnish rider Nikolai Alin at the forefront, leading the pack as Team Manager. We can surely expect great things from this crew in the future.
With the team freshly assembled, it was the perfect opportunity to get on the road to explore each other’s cities and get to know each other as newly formed team mates.
The Vans Nordic Tour video follows the guys as they destroy Copenhagen, Malmö, Stockholm and Helsinki in true viking style. The Vans Nordic Tour video – produced by Bitchslap Magazine and directed by Pierre Stachurska – introduces some of the north’s best young riders from Denmark, Sweden and Finland.
