The Video: Vans Skate Old Skool 36+ by Carpet Company
The year was 1977, the place—sunny Southern California—the birthplace of everything cool. Vans and Carpet Company invite you to see what the world would be like if the Old Skool was never invented.
"Inspired by the 1977 Style 36, the Vans Skate Old Skool 36+ by Carpet Company coming soon."
Omar Hassan checking the plumbing, J Mascis mopping the floors, Ronnie Sandoval pushing pencils—love edits like this. The honorable Ray Barbee presiding! Then old man TA reading the nursery rhymes at the end. Thank god the Style 36 was invented, or all of these guys would've never had careers in skateboarding (that's the point, right?).
