When you see Jason Watts‘ name pop up, you should definitely get excited because it always means you’re in for some wild riding. Here’s his latest BMX video for Haro Bikes that’s packed with ridiculous riding from wallride to flairs, those crazy nac-nac hang fives he does, big blasted airs out of bowls and quarter pipes and style for miles! As expected, Jason did NOT disappoint and this is one you do NOT want to pass up! Enjoy!
“Jason Watts blasts off in San Diego! Any rider who hauls ass on his way into deep concrete bowls is going to be an instant favorite here at DIG. And wait to you see THAT 360 he starts a line off with, it’s just straight up awesome. Speed, style, and the the tricks to complete the package. Decade to manual and hanger to 180 lookback shouldn’t look so easy. Easily one of the top videos of the year.

Jason Watts Mic’d Up at the Van Doren Invitational
Have you ever wondered what’s really going on during practice at a BMX contest? Ride BMX strapped a microphone on Jason Watts for a practice session at the Van Doren Invitational that gives you a look at what it’s like. This has a TON of laughs and riding, followed up with a not some fun crash that took Jason out for the day. Take a peek!
“If you remember the first ever Bullshittin’ video, Jason Watts simply stated “I don’t do interviews; I just ride my bike” when I stuck the camera in his face. Maybe he didn’t know what I was trying to make at the time or maybe he’s changed his mind, but Jason let me strap a mic to him on the second day of practice at the Van Doren Invitational. It was supposed to be a nice stroll around the park, but a night out with his best friend Jack Daniels had Jason giggling, talking shit, and ruining people’s lines all session long…until he had to be strapped on a backboard.”

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.”
