Here’s a bit of sponsorship news for the day. Chase DeHart is no longer riding for Etnies. He made the announcement on Instagram (Photo above) with a photo of him trying on some new Vans. No word on when the change happened or why, but it must be recent since this was the first time anything about the change came up. It doesn’t look like Chase is officially riding for Vans, but they are clearly helping him out since he appears to have plenty of options to choose from. In other news, Rich Hirsch commented that he’s rocking the same shoes, so we have a feeling we won’t be seeing any new Lotek’s any time soon.
