2015 Van Doren Invitational – Practice Day 2

July 31, 2015

When you have a course like the bowl for the Van Doren Invitational packed with riders like Dennis Enarson, Daniel Sandoval, Chase Hawk, Gary Young, Matt Roe, Kris Fox, Kevin Peraza, Dean Cueson, Greg Illingworth, Scotty Cranmer, Clint Reynolds, Pat Casey, Trey Jones and more, amazing things are going to go down! Check out highlights from day two of practice in the video above. If this is what we’re seeing in practice… Just imagine how insane the actual contest will be?!

“Day two of the Van Doren Invitational quickly proceeded to get even crazier than the first, the riders were more than familiar with the ramp and ready to hit the boost button! You can’t watch this contest and not be hyped, Clint Reynolds could be roasting out of the bowls deep end one moment and the next Daniel Sandoval might be laying down a flair crazy variation. The variety in riding styles is going to make for one hell of a qualifying round tomorrow!” – Ride BMX

2015 Van Doren Invitational Practice – Day 1

July 30, 2015

What happens when you drop a ton of guys like Chase Hawk, Greg Illingworth, Dean Cueson, Dan Foley, Maxime Charveron, Matt Roe, Larry Edgar, Kris Fox, Tom Dugan, Scotty Cranmer and a handful more of BMX’s best bowl riders (and let’s be real, most stylish) in for a session together? Amazing riding goes down. Take a look at what went down during the first day of practice for this years Van Doren Invitational in California! This contest is going to be nuts!

“Being on the deck at the 2015 Van Doren Invitational is a bit nuts… It’s essentially the most stacked bowl session of the century (with 30 of the best bowl riders in the world), and everyone has just a single hour heat to figure shit out. They somehow do figure shit out, and the result is a mixture of flowy speed, style, and tricks… Major shoutout to Larry Edgar and the triple tabletop in here, more to come tomorrow.

Dan’s Comp – Parking Lot Jam Highlights

July 29, 2015

Last weekend was the Parking Lot Jam at Dan’s Comp‘s headquarters in Indiana! Despite the temps being super hot, they had a huge turn out from pros and some of the midwest’s finest which lead to an amazing session on the setup filled with ramps, ledges and more Subrosa Street Rails than you would even know what to do with! Check out highlights in this BMX video showing you just what went down. Damn does this look like a good time or what?

“In a parking lot next to corn field, quite literally, lies the headquarters of the biggest mailorder in BMX, Dan’s Comp. And on this hot Saturday afternoon, they invited riders and locals from all over to their first-ever Parking Lot Jam. Ramps were built, hot dogs were boiled, people sweated, and good times were everywhere you looked. With a super loose format, Scott Towne gave away a bunch of cash via some mini best trick events such as the A-Game on the A-Frame and the 540pm 540 challenge, pulled a couple of audibles on others, and even was dope enough to give away prizes for the longest drive (ended up being over 500 miles from the North Michigan crew) out. Overall, besides the heat making everything soggy, it was a damn good time. Looking forward to next year…

July 27, 2015

Check out highlights from this years Vans AM Contest that went down last weekend out in California! Based of the highlights, it looks like everyone from the young guns to the big dogs were throwing down some heavy moves. Germany’s Boyd Hilder came out on top and it’s easy to see why when you hit play on this BMX video! So many bangers went down!

“Vans and Cult hosted the annual Vans BMX AM contest at the Vans park in Orange, California this past Saturday. First places finishers in each class won a Cult complete along with lots of other cool stuff from Vans and Cult. And the winner of the Sponsored Class, Boyd Hilder, got an invite to compete at the Vans US Open BMX Van Doren Invitational in Huntington Beach. The level of riding and amount of consistency throughout the day was insane—there’s such a wealth of talented locals riders in the OC/LA area. And props to LA’s Thee Block, for bringing a van full of their local shredders down to the contest and keeping it fun and enthusiastic all day.” – Ride BMX
