#VANSFIRSTLAYER project returns with another interesting adventure, this year the spotlight would fall on Russia. Highlighting the very best talent from the Vans snow team, we see them embark on a journey to explore the unknown of Russia. The country offered an amazing opportunity to traverse and discover new terrains, new cultures and most importantly new environments. Watch Vans riders, Benny Urban, Will Smith, Antti Jussila, Sami Luhtanen, Nikita Sekh, Cees Wille and Kevin Trammer explore Russia and all it has to offer.

To accompany the launch of the short film, Matt Georges has produced a limited edition newspaper version which allows you to immerse yourself deeper into the journey and will be available in select Vans stores across Europe.

Watch the short film above to get you ready for snow season!
