Check out this raw cut from a session at Van Homan’s warehouse ramp setup…
Brandon Bermudez sent over this raw cut of footage that he had lost and then found from a session at Van Homan‘s warehouse ramps out in Pennsylvania. This is a mix of random clips from around the building, plus plenty o clips from the session that went down! Looks like it was a good time to us. We’re just not quite sure how you could lose clips from a session like this, haha.
Want to learn a little about using CAD? How about 3D printing? Jonny Lee is back with a video to show you how it’s done.
It has been a little while since Jonny Lee put out a video showing you his 3D printed BMX parts, but he’s back with a real rad one for you today. This time around he has decided to 3D Print some bar ends, but instead of just printing it and showing you the end result, he decided to also teach you how to use Free CAD software to design the bar ends, then take that to the 3D printer and then get a look at the end product. This might be a little over some of your heads, but if you just watch it, you will pick up a few things along the way. Real cool.
“In today’s video I walk you through how to design a pair of BMX bar ends using the free 3D modeling software, FreeCAD.

Van Homan was asked to pick his Top Five favorite video clips out of the last 20 years…
If there’s one dude that would have a hard time picking five of his favorite clips, it would have to be Van Homan who has had a ton of different video parts, most of which have become classics in the process. Somehow, Van was able to come up with the list of 5 of his favorite clips, and there’s no way you would have been able to guess all these. Take a look!
“Van Homan has been making banger video parts for over twenty years. Think about that. From Seek and Destroy to Holy Fit, Van’s library of work tells the story of BMX’s evolution through the mind of one of the best to ever pick up a bike. We recently sat down with Van and had him discuss and give us a deeper look into his five favorite clips of all time.” – Vital BMX

Scotty Cranmer builds up a brand new custom BMX bike for one of his customers…
As many of you know, Scotty Cranmer owns his very own bike shop. Since his accident, he hasn’t been able to do much wrenching, but he decided to bust out the tools once again to build up a custom bike for one of his customers that was meant to be similar to his personal bike. Here’s a video showing you Scotty greasing up building up the bike from start to finish with a little bit of help from Big Boy, Matty Cranmer and Cory Berglar. Hit play and check out this extra oil slick rig!
“Today we have an awesome video that shows just how much I have truly progressed since my accident. Most of the time we show riding progression or walking progression but we never really focus on the day to day activity progression. Everyday I am starting to get more feeling back in my hands and today I am building up a custom jet fuel hyper and snafu bike to match my bike for and awesome customer we have named Mike. I had so much fun doing this, it was very challenging but I am so proud that I can work on bikes in the back of my bike shop again!” – Scotty Cranmer

Want to learn how to Invert? Albert Mercado is here to teach you…
It’s time for another how to video! This time around we get some great advice and examples on how to do an Invert on a BMX bike from the one and only Albert Mercado. This one is focused more on how to do it on street, but it can apply to riding ramps and dirt, too! Take a peek, grab your bike and then send a few!
“Inverts are one of the most classic tricks in BMX, but you just don’t really see ’em too often on street. Well, unless you happen to be watching an Albert Mercado section. The dude has been folding his bike on various street obstacles for nearly a decade and we got him to sit down and explain the rather complex nature of getting ’em done.” – Ride BMX
