BFT Gang – Calling The Shots

May 7, 2017

We don’t see too many videos from the Dutch, but when they produce something and send it through, we’re usually in for a treat. The BFT Gang just hit us with a link from a round of Calling The Shots with Frank Nabuurs, Sem Kok, Jesper Vervoort, Nils Verheijen, Jop Peeters, Kuba and Okke getting it done at their local skatepark. This has a pretty laid back and unserious vibe to it, but there’s some solid riding in there. Take a peek!

“The boys from BFT got it done in front of the camera, peep it!”
