VansVans am Dan Lutheran enjoys some shine time on the Vans site this week. No rasta-colored bikes were harmed in the making of this photo.

In early December, Dan Lutheran, along with Elijah Berle, were added to the Vans skate team after "putting in serious time for the Vans crew." And as an introduction to the new team members, Vans is featuring Lutheran in a new series called "Dan Lu" week. According to Vans, "It only made sense to introduce our newest Web features using one of our newest guys, Daniel Lutheran aka Dan Lu aka Albuquerque Dan. Starting this week we are introducing Rider's Week with five days of all new, exclusive web content focusing on one specific dude each month."

Beginning today, Vans will feature daily updates with Lutheran, starting with an interview and leading into exclusive videos and photos from the filming of the upcoming Vans videos. And later in the week, Vans will offer a preview of Lutheran's episode of "Adventures with Chris," which debuts on February 22. Lutheran also gives some insight into his upcoming video projects: "There's a Toy Machine video coming out around the holidays called 'Reinvention.' So I'll be filming for that and nail it for that. Vans video is maybe two years away, down the line a little bit, but everyone is in the mode now so it's on, I'm excited."

Check the first feature here and be sure to check back all week.
