Vans SK8: Pool Service Lite is now available on the Apple App Store.

This version provides a basic free gameplay experience for anyone that wanted to try it out before they purchased the full version of Vans SK8: Pool Service.

We're already working on an update too, which will add in direct access to your iPod music for users who upgrade to the 3.0 software when it comes out in a week.

The v1.1 update to Vans SK8: Pool Service has just been approved and should now be available on iTunes. While the response to the first version was great, there were a few people who had an issue with the controls, which should be resolved. We've also added a couple highly requested features (such as a restart option in the game's pause menu).

We've also talked to Vans and together have decided to temporarily lower the price of the game to thank the community for their support so far, and to allow even more people to play and enjoy the game.

Recently, Fuel had the chance to have a little chit chat with our friend Dan Maiman at Vans on our current iPhone game Vans Sk8: Pool Service, here's what he had to say...

How did you guys get into the skate business?

Vans began in Southern California back in 1966 when skating was first coming alive. Skaters liked the way the Vans shoes and our waffle sole gripped their boards and they began using the shoes as a means of self expression by customizing them with their own designs. That's why we still offer the Vans Customs program where folks can design their shoe with different colors and patterns.

You’ve been part of the skate scene for almost half a century.  How do you keep it punk rock in today’s commercial skate industry?

It's really about our team riders, events, artists, music and the personalities we align with. Vans stays with what it knows and doesn't attempt to follow the latest fads that come and go.

How many riders does Vans sponsor besides Bucky and Omar?

More than 5 and less than a 1000... Seriously, between all the different divisions (Skate, Surf, Snow, Bmx, Pro and Am) that would take a while to figure out!

With Pool Service set to release later this month, we're stoked to present you guys with the latest trailer. Check out some more gameplay footage, and take a look at some of the boards and wheels on offer. Most of all--let us know what you think!
