Adam Banton gets creative for this new VIP from Woodward East!

We’re always stoked when Adam Banton‘s name pops up in a new video. The reason? We can always count on him to come through with some creative and unique riding that is unpredictable and a real good watch. This time around we get some double duty action because Adam also produced the song for this one with a few friends, too. Check out some great riding and enjoy the tunes in the latest VIP video from Woodward East!

“Anybody who has ridden BMX throughout the years knows how influential Adam Banton’s riding has been. Its always refreshing to see someone progress continually throughout the years and keep such a positive mindset.” – Woodward East

From Adam:

“It had been too long since I was back on the East coast at Woodward. I wasn’t sure what to expect honestly, I knew so much had changed, but in some ways camp seemed to look the same in recent vids from when I was a camper ages ago. I knew it had grown into a massive city of skateparks and I’ve heard great things of the music program they offer as well. After filming BMX most of everyday I’d go hang with music campers. I spent time rehearsing a song I wrote that week and jamming with Chris the music director. We finally recorded it my last day. I wanted to film some different things at camp and tried keeping an opening mind on what and where they would be. I had so much fun making music, riding and meeting tons of new people in a short time. Can’t wait to come back, thanks to all the staff, Josh Babu and awesome campers I met. I love Woodward.” – Adam Banton

Its like stepping into a time machine and traveling back to the glory days of bmx. Again thank you everyone who had contributed this project. it has been a blast. Enjoy!” – Matt Miller
