Vans Video Update from China Part 3: Red Ribbon
Posted Nov. 16, 2011, 11:46 a.m. /
Welcome back to the 3rd part of The Vans Team's Adventures in China.
Here's Part 1 and Part 2 if you missed it.
Ace photographer Anthony Acosta along with Anthony Van Engelen, Andrew Allen, Chris Pfanner,
Chima Ferguson and Gilbert Crockett are on a filming mission with Greg Hunt in Hong Kong for the upcoming
Vans video.
Today we find the guys at the suddenly famous Guangzhou Ribbon that has been popping up
in a lot of skate footage recently. The Red Ribbon, as you may or may not know, is
"supposedly" located in Guangzhou, China's 3rd largest city. After hours of Googling what the story is behind the ribbon
we have discovered absolutely nothing, nada, zip, zilch.
Which leads us to a few possibilities:
1-China doesn't want anyone skating their spot because they've been working on Fully Ribboned for six years
and they have mad NBDs that they don't want ruined.
2-It doesn't actually exist. It's an optical illusion that Acosta created on green screen and Photoshop.
3-It's from the future and the only way to get there is with a time machine, which explains why it's not on Google yet.
4-Michael Bay forgot to clean it up after filming Transformers and is trying to keep it on the down low so he doesn't get a littering fine.
5-It's a fake spot that someone brought from The States in their backpack.
Whatever its story, that first photo of Pfanner my be the raddest photo at this spot yet.
