Sunday just gone saw skate retailers from all over the UK roll out from their respective bases and make their way to the familiar surroundings of the long-serving Pioneer Skatepark in St Albans for the UK leg of Vans Shop Riot 2015.

Car legs, hangovers and sleep deprivation didn’t seem to hinder anyone as crews from Wales, London, the south coast, East Anglia, the Midlands and all over the north gave Pioneer an old fashioned battering in hope of seeing their local shop heading off to the European Shop Riot finals later this year. After five separate qualifying rounds and a final that saw Fifty Fifty, BBC, Forty Two and The Black Sheep battling it out for the top spot, it was the three-man line up of Harry Lintell, Rob Smith and Jirka Bulin who eventually took The Black Sheep through to the finals for the fifth time with a pisstake display of all terrain stupidity.

Anyway, watch the edit to see for yourself what went on, then have a peruse through CJ’s gallery from the day.

Massive thanks to everyone at Vans and Pioneer for another successful and enjoyable afternoon of Shop Riot carnage, and extended props to all the stores that came out for this years get-together – shatterproof rulers one and all.
