Chad Degroot – 50 Years of BMX

March 23, 2024

Chad Degroot celebrates 50 years with a look back!

To celebrate his 50th birthday, Chad Degroot takes a look back at his history from the riding sessions to the appearances he’s made on TV on and off his bike and more. Here’s 25 minutes spanning a ton of history that is a damn good watch. Happy Birthday, Chad!

“Full tank of gas, full belly of food, full mind of more…never running on empty. 50 years old and most involved in BMX in some form or another. Fill up that belly and ride all day. Chip in for gas and go to that town, city, or state. Discussions of bike parts, brands, and riders we look up to. Who is doing what and how. Become the rider and the scene. Be the party. Lead after following. Friends with the pioneers. Go your own way. Grow BMX. Turn gray’t. The Calendar says 50 is today. March 23, 1974 + 3-23-24 =

This compilation consists of a commercial shot in Miami with a mohawk, childhood shenanigans, Baco days, Road Fools 3, my fav combos past and present, magic spots, a remix of my Baco 10 section, and always the Darkside.

So many filmers, editors, camera workers, locations, sponsors, and friends/family to thank. Thank you all.” – Deco BMX

Deco BMX – 10 Years

August 15, 2019

It’s pretty wild how fast time flies when you’re having fun! DECO is celebrating their 10th anniversary already and Chad DeGroot put together this mix featuring all the different riders that have supported the brands over the years. This is a mix of street, flatland and park clips and it’s a real good watch. Congratulations to Chad on the milestone!

“Ten years old or young. Consider it young and still growing. Time does roll fast but memories remain the focus and growing by the day. Could go on and on but the main words I want to say are: Thank You to all the playas who ride and support this dream. Growing in the bmx business world is like a roller coaster; more smiles for miles and the gleaming and glistening of the future while keeping the passion going.

I want more. Way more. Thank you. Here’s to 10more.

Deco BMX – Mat Olson Across America Winter 2016

June 25, 2017

Deco just dropped this fresh video from Mat Olson‘s road trip across the southern half of the United States the past winter. Hit play to watch Mat cruise skateparks, street spots, trails and more! This is a real good watch from start to finish!

“I started the idea for this trip when I heard of the Florideah swamp fest. With so much going on in Florida I wanted to check out some of the riding as well as camping that the warm winters out east could offer. The FL series was in full effect, I had a handful of shows lined up, and I had a Volkswagen Bus. I planned on a few weeks and it turned into the best winter I have had in a while. Thanks to everyone who helped me make this Journey possible. This is a quick edit of the journey to and from Florida. A lot of driving, some riding, a little cruising, and a good ass time. Life is a trip, some of the best and worst things imaginable have happened to me in 2017. Never give up. Do your best. Riding my bike has always been my zen. Thanks for watching.“” – Mat Olson
