The 3rd Annual Vans Roadblock presented by Arnette will take place Sunday, August 5th right here in beautiful Vancouver, B.C. Granville street will be closed on the 800 block between Smithe and Robson.

One thousand dollars (1,000$) per obstacle is up for grabs for a total of four thousand dollars (4,000$).

While you witness this unique occasion to see Canada’s most talented skaters reunited, music will be provided by the original 45'' selector Vinyl Ritchie.

The event is free and there will be plenty of giveaways!
