Vans Presents: Pass The Bucket with Ryan Hudson...

Pass The Bucket with Ryan Hudson from Off The Wall TV on Vimeo.

The latest instalment of the Pass The Bucket series from Vans. Enjoy!

"Ryan Hudson, 22, spent most of his life in homeless shelters and on the street. At the age of 15 he found the Toussaint Academy in Downtown San Diego, a homeless shelter for at risk teens. It was here that he was introduced to Chris Rutgers and the Outdoor Outreach Program. Outdoor Outreach has taken more than 5,000 youth on over 1,500 outings including snowboard trips to Big Bear. Ryan's first trip to the snow was transformational to say the least. After experiencing what Ryan calls "the greater things in life" he became a snowboarding prodigy, immersing himself in the sport and competing professionally. Ryan currently lives in Utah where he works and rides every day. 

Five years ago he was given the opportunity to participate in the Leadership Program for Outdoor Outreach and has dedicated his down time to providing similar opportunities to the homeless and troubled youth of San Diego. His goal is to create more opportunities for kids stuck in the same place he was."

Tupac "The Lost Tapes"...

"After the FBI’s vault revealed documents regarding Tupac’s death, more never-before-released information on the iconic rapper has appeared online. This time, however, it comes in the shape of an interview with him during his time spent in prison at Clinton Correctional Facility in 1995. The interview is featured a DVD entitled Tupac Uncensored and Uncut: The Lost Prison Tapes, which was released back in January on Amazon. However, all 44 minutes of the film have been made available for viewing in the three separate YouTube videos." Enjoy!

Pass The Bucket: Stephen Murray...

Almost four years ago, the life of professional BMX rider and three-time U.S. gold medalist Stephen Murray was thrown a proverbial curveball. At the BMX Dirt Finals of the Dew Actions Sport Tour in Baltimore, Maryland, a double backflip would ultimately go on to paralyze Murray from the neck down. In this Pass the Bucket with Vans, Stephen Murray provides an inspirational story of coping with being paralyzed and his new outlook on life, which enables him to carry out and maintain a fruitful life. Following his injury, Murray started up his foundation, “Stay Strong,” which can be seen here.

The Bicycle City Trailer...

The Bicycle City. Trailer from Greg Sucharew on Vimeo.

This is so refreshing to see! What happens to an impoverished developing nation town when you flood it with 20,000 bicycles? You lift three times that number of people out of poverty. Pedals for Progress, and founder David Schweidenback, have been shipping used American bicycles to Rivas, Nicaragua for the last two decades and the transformation has been incredible. Offered above is the trailer for The Bicycle City, with further information on assistance in funding available here. Enjoy!

The cruiser features an old school look with plenty of attention to detail, including Stussy branding, Oakley B-1B grips and an engraved front end reading “Ride Tough Little Boys.” The bike will see a release on April 7 through W-BASE, with availability via Stussy chapter stores and web shops on April 18, 2011.
