SKATEBOARDERS GET INTERNET ACCESS
AT VANS SKATEPARKS NATIONWIDE


BROOMFIELD, Colo. - Kiosk Information Systems is currently producing Internet kiosks for use by skateboarders, in-line skaters and BMX freestyle riders in Vans Skateparks nationwide. The kiosks, located in lounge areas inside the parks and in Vans stores, allow users to access the Vans Web site for information on Vans footwear products, dealers, events, contests, skatepark construction and more.

Vans opened its eighth skatepark at the Westminster Promenade in Westminster, Colorado on Friday, June 8, 2001. KIOSK installed two KT-110 Stealth standard kiosks equipped with touch screen technology for ease of use in the new Westminster facility. In addition to the Westminster location, Vans operates seven parks in Orange, CA, Bakersfield, CA, Ontario, CA, Woodbridge, VA, Milpitas, CA, Houston, TX and Moorestown, NJ. Additional skateparks are scheduled to open throughout the United States and Canada throughout 2002. All parks will feature multiple KIOSK standard Internet kiosks.

KIOSK President Rick Malone views the Vans project as an example of how standard products can benefit the most progressive companies. "Unlike our custom designed machines, standard kiosks require very little engineering, which results in speedy customer delivery. The sleek design of the KT-110 Stealth kiosk functions as an artistic accessory for Vans. Yet, it also provides users with all the information they need on Vans products and services."
