Last weekend saw Matthias Dandois complete another series of unstoppable runs to claim the IBMXFF world championships at Nass Festival, England. Matthias said, “It was a big goal of mine for this season to win the worlds so I’m really happy to of done so”. “ It was my fifth world title in my career and I still can’t quite believe it”.
The top three athletes on the day performed three flawless runs which was remarkable considering the windy weather throughout. Although Matthias took the overall prize a special mention must go
Vans, the original action sports footwear and apparel brand, has collaborated with one of America’s most maligned underground artists, Robert Williams, to bring his psychedelic artwork to life in a limited edition Vault by Vans capsule, introducing a striking trio of classic footwear, deluxe shirts, and a very special Fender Stratocaster Guitar. With an approach that celebrates Vans’ 50th anniversary, the Vault by Vans x Robert Williams collection sustains the design elements of past Robert Williams partnerships by showcasing Robert’s intense creativity and imagination across Vans iconic forms.
