Just a little warning. At 0:30, I perform a stunt where I rode a skateboard down a hill, hit a curb, and did a front-flip landing on grass, almost breaking my ass (did not mean to make those last few lines rhyme 😂). What I'm trying to say is, DO NOT TRY AND PERFORM THAT STUNT AT HOME! It can cause serious injuries and possibly death. Please do not do it.

On this episode of Pointless History, I'll go over the history of the very first signature skateboarding sneakers, the Half Cabs by Vans, as well as a brief history of how Vans started, Steve Caballero's involvement with Vans, the evolution of the Half Cabs, and the Half Cabs today. This video is in tribute to Paul Van Doren who passed away earlier in the year. God Rest his soul!

Want to give a special shoutout and thank you to Ryan Gordon for making background music for this episode and Justin Guerrieri for the VoiceOver help! Much appreciated guys!
