Ray Barbee Shoe Release Party
Posted by John Bradford

On Saturday night Vans "Vault" threw a party at Proper in downtown Long Beach to celebrate the release of a series of re-issued shoes to commemorate 20 years of skateboarding from the one and only Ray Barbee. Ray and long time friend, not to mention former Bones Brigade team mate, Tommy Guerrero performed an amazing set of live guitar to a packed house. Below are some photos from the event. Congrats Ray on 20 years of shredding!

Standing room only... Quite a crowd turned out.
Vintage boards.

Memorabilia from many years of epic skating...
The Re-issues... Classic Vans.
Two generations of Barbee.
Element team mates Levi Brown and Chad Tim Tim came out...
Vans TM Jaime Heart and Element's Ryan Kingman.

Tommy Guerrero gave a little speech for Ray...
And then they jammed.
More jams...
Most people there were documenting the show with various gadgets.
So I thought I'd poach a couple angles.
Footage from Ray's video parts played all night.
