Middle of Nowear 2025 Highlights

May 7, 2025

Check out highlights from the Middle of Nowear contest!

When the crew at Nowear throw a contest at the Nowear compound out in Nebraska, you know it’s going to be a good time! The Middle of Nowear contest went down a few weekends back, and it was a full house with riders from the young guns to the old dogs, along with plenty of Pros in the mix. Here’s a highlight video showing you all the crazy riding that went down. Check it!

“The third annual Middle of Nowear contest was off the hook! Every class threw down from beginners to old guys, culminating with 20 pro entrees batting it out for $5000.

The vibes could not have been higher. From the beautiful rider camaraderie, great local food, and stories shared around the campfire, it was a truly epic event that left everyone wanting more. This competition is here to stay with continued plans to run annually in April with a large pro purses and tons of prizes for all other classes.

Nowear would like to send a huge thank you to all the sponsors and volunteers. Without the teamwork none of this would be possible.” — Karl Hinkley

The Last Vans Combi Bowl Session

March 27, 2025

Vans threw a farewell jam on their Combi Bowl…

The Vans park out in California is shutting down their Combi bowl. They threw one last hurrah with a ton of heavy hitters to give it the send off it deserves. Here’s a look at what went down! You already know this one is too good to pass up!

“On Thursday, February 27th, Steve Van Doren assembled a BMX session for an opportunity to get last wheels on the Iconic Vans Combi bowl. The Vans bowl is a replica of the original Combi in Upland, CA.

Vans flew over Cauan Madona from Brazil, Scotty Cranmer and Matty drove from Arizona for the session. DMC flew in, we had Fast and Loose royalty there in Kris Fox, Matt Cordova, Corey Walsh and Jason Watts. Larry brought his usual powerful riding, Perris, Angie and Dany Moran also joined the session. Orange local, Dakota Roche was there. Gary and Dennis Enarson came up from San Diego. Dennis was injured at the time and hung out, but Gary rode hard as always.

SVD’S crew put on a BBQ, and it was great to have many friends and family in attendance like Robbie Morales, Nate Hanson, John Povah, and Chase and Reid Casey. The session started around noon and wrapped up by 5pm, there were people dropping in all afternoon and there was never not somebody in the bowl. It was cool to see Scotty want to roll around it and was cheered on by everybody there for his efforts.

All in all it was a high-spirited afternoon, and while we didn’t get to ride the Combi much in the past, we farewelled it with a heavy session that will be remembered forever.
