Vans Oregon Trip

September 18, 2014

DIG just dropped this new video from Vans featuring Gary Young, Ben Hennon, Kevin Kalkoff, Bas Keep, Greg Illingworth and Matt Priest who all piled into an RV and cruised around Oregon to camp and ride a handful of their amazing cement parks! Hit play and take this all in!

After you check out the video, check out this Photogallery and story from the trip by George Marshall!

“What’s the essence of a good BMX trip? For sure it can be many things – but also it can be the very simple things.

Oregon has some of the most insane concrete parks and bowls and in the same time, it’s one of the most beautiful states in the US with stunning nature.

We wanted to combine both facts and aimed for a camping trip – good friends, raw nature, camp fires, river bed showers, the whole shebang. It didn’t take much time for the crew to feel the vibe…..

This is our story – and if this gets you pumped, get a tent and start exploring. Enjoy the ride!” – Vans

Vans – Ben Hennon and Kevin Kalkoff in Copenhagen

April 13, 2014

Vans sent Ben Hennon and Kevin Kalkoff to Copenhagen, Denmark to get a look at a wild bowl set up at Ramp Riders Club! Check out the video of both the guys just crushing the place!

“Niels Thanild up in Copenhagen, Denmark kept sending images of an insane good looking bowl they just built.

Reason enough for Ben Hennon and Kevin Kalkoff take a flight to Copenhagen to visit the Ramp Riders Club and ride the beauty.
They filmed for two days – needless to say that this bowl offers lines for miles to explore.

Here it is – next time you´re in the area, give them a visit as well, it´s a treat.

Thanks to Niels, Frank and all Copenhagen locals.

Ride on!

Chain Reaction – Ben Hennon at Rush Skatepark 2013

November 28, 2013

If you follow Ben Hennon on Instagram, there’s a good chance you have been seeing the previews of the new Rush Skatepark he has been helping to build. It would appear that the park is done and ready to open up, but you better believe Ben had to get in there and give it a proper break in before that happened. Check him out crushing it at the park in this video from Chain Reaction!

“Chain Reaction Cycles & Ben Hennon bring you an exclusive first look edit from the brand new Rush Skatepark.

Check it out as Ben blasts around the bowls hips and other cool ramps on offer, throwing down his normal speed and power combined with loads of control and tech tricks. Ben has been working hard with Anthony Ramsey designing and building this awesome new setup and we’re excited to bring you this first look at the park.

Based in Stroud, Rush is the first indoor skatepark in Gloucestershire and offers a 40,000sqft, fully open plan setup of indoor insanity to suit all kinds of riding styles.

Thought up, funded and created by parents Jerry and Michelle Norman who spotted an opportunity to support their son and the surrounding community with some where fresh, exciting and close to home the park will run 6 days a week with a full stocked shop and café.

The official opening to the public will be on 7 December 2013… So get down, show your support and have a blast. In the meantime we hope this video gets you frothing in anticipation”
