Baygame – Sock It To My Pocket

November 30, 2017

The Baygame crew are back with a new mix from the streets of San Francisco for your viewing pleasure!

The Baygame crew are always cooking up some great edits from the San Francisco area. Here’s their latest mix filled with goodness from the spots they have been riding and then random people they encounter along the way. There’s definitely a few weird homeless people moments in this one. Overall, the video has a pretty laidback vibe, but it’s great watch from start to finish.

November 30, 2017

Vans is back with the latest Palmistry Guide video! This time the crew made their way to Thailand to explore the place!

It has been a while since the last Vans BMX Palmistry Guide, but the wait is over and it was well worth it! Here’s a super rad video from a trip that Alex Valentino and a crew of heavy hitters took to Thailand to explore the street spots, ride the skateparks, meet the locals and just experience the place. As expected, this is packed with amazing riding, excellent film work and some great spots. This is one of those BMX videos that is hard to look away from once you hit play! Enjoy!

“The Kingdom of Thailand has been the new playground for our riders for the third chapter of The Palmistry Guide.

This year Alexandre Valentino and four BMX Vans riders Nicolas Badet, Benoît Gea, Tom Deville and Kilian Roth, escorted by Winai Khampheethoon their local guide, will take them from Bangkok to Lopburi. First shocks, the heat and humidity that will have to be tamed. First meetings, the riders of a skatepark in Bangkok. Here, not everyone speaks English, but BMX is a universal language. “”Thailand has been an incredible experience, a real cultural clash, and now we understand why it’s called the land of smiles”” Says Alexandre Valentin.

Original soundtrack by Anthony Clain” – Vans BMX

Wethepeople BMX – Grant Castelluzzo Named U.S Team Manager + Bike Check

November 29, 2017

It looks like Grant Castelluzzo is going to be holding down the Team Manager duties in the United States for Wethepeople…

When Grant Castelluzzo had parted ways with Mutiny Bikes a while back, we had a feeling he might have something in the works with Wethepeople. As it turns out, our instincts were right and it looks like he will be taking on the role as the United States Team Manager for the brand! As some of you might already know, Grant has experience in the role between his different roles with Profile Racing and Madera, as well as being a TM on top of a pro team rider for Mutiny, so it’s safe to say he’s not going to have any trouble adjusting to this opportunity.

“WETHEPEOPLE is proud to welcome the multi-talented Grant Castelluzzo to the family as he joins the crew out in California and takes on the role of US Team Manager.

Most of you will be no stranger to Grant’s incredible skills both on the bike and behind the lens. Already being close friends with many of the guys on the squad, welcoming Grant to the family and have him behind the helm of our US team was a no-brainer.” – Wethepeople

“I am super excited and honored to announce that I am the US TM for WETHEPOEPLE. The team is full of amazing bike riders and more importantly amazing people, who happen to be my friends, which kind of makes this a dream job to be honest. WETHEPEOPLE has been around for over 20 years and it is humbling to work for a brand that has some serious history and legacy to it. I am hyped to get in the streets with the crew and for you all to see the stuff we will be working on!“ – Grant Castelluzzo

“Expect to see Grant riding his BATTLESHIP setup around Long Beach and Southern California with the rest of the team whilst working on a list of fresh Wethepeople projects which will be hitting your screens in the very near future…”

You can check out more photos and details on his new Battleship setup over on the Wethepeople Website now.
