Orange Juice X Vans – Roy Van Kempen In Japan

December 23, 2015

A few months back, Roy Van Kempen had the opportunity to go to Japan for the Monster Street Series stop. While he was there, he spent some time riding spots, checking out the scenery and learning about the culture. Above is a BMX video for Orange Juice and Vans documenting the trip. Despite it having some ups and downs, it looks like it was a good time to us!

“This little BMX bike brings us to so many crazy places around the world. Last Summer Tom Lammerse and I went on a 10-day trip to Japan to attend the Monster Energy Street Series BMX contest and to film for an Orange Juice exclusive documentary in collaboration with Vans. Today we are proud to release the documentary part of the video.

This documentary will give you an inside look in what happens behind the video that everybody normally gets to see.

The riding video will drop on Monday December 28th.

Thanks to Eiji Okuda, Hiroshi Uehara and all the other locals who helped us out!”

Orange Juice Mixtape

November 17, 2015

You know you’re in for a treat when the Orange Juice release a new BMX video. Here’s a mixtape they pieced together from some time the crew spent filming in Belgium, Holland and Amsterdam, where they ended up hitting some dialed spots from the streets to a few skateparks. Check out all the dialed clips the crew ended up with by hitting play on the video above!

“Last Summer we rented an apartment for some days in Brussels, Belgium for 8 amazing riders from Belgium and Holland. Unfortunately it was raining almost every day so at the end we didn’t have enough clips to finish the mixtape video. Therefore, we decided to spend some days in Amsterdam with the crew to finish it all up.

This mixtape features Roy van Kempen, Kenzo de Witte, Alex “Frenchie” Coumailleau, Thijs Vervaeck, Jorn Tuijnman, Jack Nieraeth, Ermiyas van Diemen and Joeri Veul.”
