Vans UNFILTERED – California feat. Dakota Roche & Dan Lacey

Dakota Roche and Dan Lacey team up in California for the latest Vans UNFILTERED video!

Today is a good day! Vans just dropped their latest Unfiltered video, and it’s a BANGER. This time around Dan Lacey made the trip over to California to meet up with Dakota Roche to go to work on a bunch of dialed spots with filmer Rich Forne. As You can imagine with a trifecta like this, everything about the video is on point from the riding to the spots and film work. If you aren’t watching this one, you’re completely blowing it!

“The UNFILTERED series lands in California, on its fourth continent in as many episodes.

The power duo of Dakota Roche and Dan Lacey raided through California’s Central Coast line, on a stark contrast to the desert landscapes of the UAE in episode three. In typical “for the search” fashion, Dakota and Dan missioned for days to find spots, but also manufacture their own between Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz.” – Vans

Get a closer look at Dan Lacey’s matte pastel blue DLX frame from Federal Bikes…

Is it time for a new BMX frame? Here’s a detailed look at the Dan Lacey signature DLX frame in the new matte pastel blue colorway that is available through BMX shops and mail-orders now! Hit play to take in all the fine details, then learn more about the frame below. After that, you can check out full specs and details over on the Federal Bikes website!

“Dan Lacey is undoubtedly one of the UK’s most prolific street riders whose reputation for dropping some of the gnarliest moves in BMX is undisputed. 2015 marks 10 years since Dan joined Federal and 5 years since his first frame was released. Over the years minor revisions have been made to Dan’s frame, but to celebrate his 10th anniversary we completely redesigned his frame.

Dan was very specific about having chain adjusters built into his dropouts, so we designed an investment cast dropout to be as minimal as possible, while incorporating the adjusters. The standover height has been increased from 8.8” to 9” high, and we’ve designed a new custom investment cast seat clamp which is also available separately. The frame has been finished off with Dan’s inverted ‘F’ logo on the rear seat stays, as well as on the top tube gusset. The frame also has all new graphics designed by Rich Forne in collaboration with Dan.”
