The other day we watched 9 year old 9 Year Old Aou Matsuura crush it. Now this video of 7 year old Francisco Fernandes popped up filled with a few rad clips from an abandoned park session. It’s pretty wild how the younger generation is picking things up! No doubt Francisco will be a stylish rider that won’t be scared to go fast and go big in the future!
Chase Davidson – An Australian BMX Video
World traveler Chase Davidson has been calling Australia home for a little while now, and he has been steadily stacking clips from his sessions that he has been getting in at a ton of amazing skateparks and plenty of street spots. Here’s a video he whipped up filled with the goodness. The riding is solid and the vibe is great. There’s even appearances from a few familiar faces like Boyd Hilder and Cody Pollard in this. Don’t pass this BMX video up!
“These clips were filmed over the past two years with no real plan to make a video. Once the COVID-19 virus hit and we were all stuck inside, I decided to compile them all together into a little video to remember the times.
Edited on Final Cut Pro X” – Chase Davidson
Vans BMX Pro Cup 2020 – CANCELLED

Here’s some news we saw coming, but definitely hoped wouldn’t happen. Due to the uncertainty of the coming months due to the COVID-19, Vans have decided to cancel the 2020 Vans BMX Pro Cup series for safety reasons and obvious travel / logistics nightmares that would be caused by everything going on. Check out a note that came through. We’ll update this tomorrow as a full press release is supposed to be coming.
“Dear VANS PRO CUP friends,
Hope you are staying healthy and safe during this time of uncertainty.
As we’ve all come to witness, we are currently facing an unprecedented global crisis that has impacted the way we live, work and interact as a global community. It has caused global disruptions and changes to the way businesses operate beyond what could have been imagined. In light of the COVID-19 situation, our brand has been taking a series of precautionary steps to ensure that the health and wellbeing of our Vans Family and the global community remains our top priority. This has involved postponing or canceling upcoming owned events globally through to closing our corporate offices and Vans retail locations across North America, Europe and select locations in Asia Pacific.
As a global brand focused on connecting with our consumers around the world through experiences and spaces that bring their creativity to life, Vans will always prioritize the health and wellbeing of our consumers and staff.
With that said, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Vans BMX Pro Cup Series season.
This was not an easy decision, but one we feel is necessary in the current state of uncertainty.
Sincerely, Andrew Mapstone, Andy Zeiss, Colin Mackay, & VANS Family” – Vans
Back Bone BMX – Tyson Jones-Peni “Expression”
It’s always a good day when some fresh Tyson Jones-Peni footage pops up online! Here’s his new edit for Back Bone BMX that’s filled with style for miles from trails and cement park sessions! This is a damn good watch from start to finish, so get on that play button and check this out!
“Riding BMX is my ultimate artistic expression, something that is on my mind at all times, that I live and breathe; something that I uncouple the marker of “good” from the basis of skill. It’s why I love to create and love to learn in all avenues of my life.. I am thankful to have learnt so much from BMX and continue to do so everyday.
Thanks to Brendan Boeck and my wife Melissa for helping out a lot with this project, and to United, Vans, Eclat and of course Back Bone BMX, thanks for keeping me rolling. Hope you enjoy.” – Tyson Jones-Peni
Adam Banton – Recovered Clips
It has been too long since we’ve got some fresh clips from Adam Banton to check out! Here’s a short but sweet edit of clips that he happened to have just laying around in an folder on his computer. Instead of letting them go to waste, he whipped up this new edit. Plenty of rad clips with creativity and some front brake magic mixed in. Hopefully he can fix the end screen videos since they pop up a little early and keep you from seeing 3 or so clips! Either way, worth a look!
“Making room for another edit I found this mash up finished little piece I made a while back. I think it all started because I wanted to use this song I wrote and that it was faster and seemed fitting. A few may have gotten out but theres some unused stuff too. Some of my favorite spots in AZ, I sure miss the white walls! Enjoy.” – Adam Banton
