Vans Skate Sk8-Hi (Ben Kadow) Features:

Hard-charging lines mixed with precision creativity and a deep bag of contemporary and old school inspired tricks make Ben Kadow one of the most exciting young skaters out there right now. From his make or slam mentality to his distinct personality and visible irreverence for the status quo, Ben has cemented his status as one to keep an eye on—chipped front tooth, Sharpied white T's and all. A fixture in the New York City scene, Ben’s passion on and off the board seeps through in every aspect of his style, and the new Kadow Skate Sk8-Hi is the perfect example.
