FINALLY. After being let go from Etnies, having his deal with DC fall through when they cut their ties with BMX… Brian Kachinsky finally has found himself a home on Vans! Check out a quick word he has to say about the news and then keep checking back on the site since we’ll have a little Q&A with him in the next few days up on the site!

“I’m proud to announce that I am officially riding for Vans in 2014. Vans has been in the game for almost 48 years and I’m honored to be a part of such a legendary team. Vans longtime commitment to BMX is something that our entire industry respects. Much like their current team, Vans shoes are at the forefront of progression while also always staying true to their roots and tradition. I’m happy to now be teammates with some of my favorite riders in the world. Thanks Jerry Badders, the team and everyone at Vans for having me be a part of the family. Fun times ahead!” – Brian Kachinsky

Keegan Rowley Edit

January 6, 2014

It almost seems like there are more videos coming out from kids that are 10 – 14 years old than anything else these days! I’m okay with that because it’s proof that BMX has a very good future ahead of itself! Check out Keegan Rowley tearing up The Kitchen at 10 years old!

“It’s not every day you see a rider with style, flow, and tricks like Keegan Rowley…much less at only 10 years old. Keegan made the drive from his hometown in Channahon, Illinois and spent two days at The Kitchen in South Bend, Indiana filming for his first video, and this is the result!

Keegan would like to give a special thanks to Troy Lee Designs, Seven Clothing, and The Kitchen BMX Skate Park.” – Fat Tony

Nik Mars 2013 Edit

January 6, 2014

Damn… Nik Mars went hard for this one. Check him out bringing the heat to a bunch of spots. The ender in this is biggggg.

“Robbie DeCelle wasn’t the only one throwing hammers the past few months. Nik mars also decided to drop his 2013 footy and start with a clean slate. Again no special editing just plain and to the point. Be ready for any footage in the future because nik can throw down for sure this is just the beginning!!!” – Damion Blackk
