Kink – Calvin Kosovich Welcome to the Pro Team Video

January 16, 2017

Here’s some news we always wondered if we would be seeing. Kink have given Calvin Kosovich a well deserved bump on up to their Pro Team. To celebrate, Calvin went to work on this damn dialed welcome video packed full of big rails, wallrides, gaps and more around SoCal! Dialed riding, great spots and some dialed film work. Can’t go wrong with hitting play on this gem!

“Kink did right by adding Calvin Kosovich to their pro team. His fashionable ways, gnarly riding style, and casual demeanor sets him a part from the status quo—making him a good fit for the already well-rounded Kink squad. This is the first video part the Australian native has filmed entirely in Southern California and he managed to not only find a load of untapped spots, but his approach to riding them is just as refreshing. ” – Ride BMX

“Calvin has been a part of Kink for a few years now, and we are proud to officially add him to the Kink Pro Team for 2017! After helping Calvin make the move to the USA from Perth, Australia, he has been working his ass off in front and behind the camera while residing in Southern California. Calvin is the epitome of how staying true to yourself, working hard, and always pushing will get you to the next level. We are stoked to continue supporting Calvin and to see what he continues to produce for Kink and BMX this year!” —Jay Roe, Kink TM

Hit play and get a behind the scenes look at what went into working on his new Monster Energy video that drops tomorrow! Get stoked, tomorrow is going to be a good day!

“I spent five days cruising (and shooting photos) around in the back of Dakota Roche’s truck while he and Calvin Kosovich stacked clips for his new video, “Bay Roam.” On the last day, I brought out the camera and proceeded to have a casual conversation about spots, the project, and more as we cruised through the cuts of SF in search of spots…

Look for Dak’s new video “Bay Roam” from Monster Energy to drop 12/1 at 9am PST!” – Ryan Fudger / Ride BMX

Vans BMX Street Invitational 2016 – First Practice

June 23, 2016

The Vans BMX Street Invitational is going down this weekend and it looks like Chad Kerley, Nathan Williams, Dakota Roche, Bruno Hoffmann, Calvin Kosovich, Corey Martinez, Alex Donnachie and a few others have arrived and started cruising the park to see what they can dial in for lines for the contest. Hit play to check out just a few clips from what went down. We can only imagine that this contest will be nothing short of awesome.

“The vibe today was mellow with just over half of the 20 riders set to ride in the first ever Vans BMX Street Invitational on course. And, with a very open practice schedule (a good thing) of 9am-6pm, the dudes were pretty spread out. So I kept it the same and simply put together a quick-hit chronological cut of what I filmed over the four hours I was there. Sorry about the wind noise; apparently my little wind sock can’t handle high-speed lines. But enough of my little excuses…it’s quite obvious that this event is gonna be dope. If you’re within driving distance of Huntington Beach, then you should be at the Vans park this Saturday. So be there…or at least hit us up for full coverage, yeah?” – Ride BMX

BMX riders adopted Vans in the late ‘60s because of their reliable construction and rugged waffle outsole. The “Off The Wall” philosophy of BMX led to Vans signing on the first officially sponsored BMX athletes in history, Bob Haro and Greg Hill. Decades later, Vans’ checkerboard flag continues to be a global mainstay in BMX and the first in the sport and as the leader in BMX footwear and apparel.”
