Federal – Barcelona 2013

April 17, 2013

The anticipation for this video from the Federal team trip to Barcelona has been killing me. It’s finally online and damn did it turn out good. This is an absolute MUST SEE!

“Last month we sent a bunch of our guys from the States and Europe to Barcelona for 9 days filming in the sun and with
help from the legend Fernando Olaiz, the crew hit up so many unseen spots.
Featuring Dan Lacey, Bruno Hoffmann, Matty Long, Stevie Churchill, Roy Van Kempen,
Medhi Vivens, Michal Smelko and Jason Eustathiou.“

Roy Van Kempen Bike Check

March 4, 2013

Roy Van Kempen BMX

It was announced the other day that Roy Van Kempen had parted ways with his long time sponsor, United. I had a feeling that a rider like Roy would have a new opportunity lined up when an announcement like that is made, so I decided to hit him up to see if he was working on a new bike. It turned out that he did have a new opportunity and that would be Federal Bikes. We figured since he was building up a brand new bike that it would be a good time to get the first look at that dialed new ride. Check out this full bike check along with a few bonus questions to see what’s new and what 2013 has in store for Roy!

Roy Van Kempen Federal BMX

I’ve been waiting to announce this one for a few days now. Roy Van Kempen is now doing it for Federal Bikes. Roy and I are working on a bike check for his new setup so expect that in the next few days!

“I’m very proud to announce that I am now a part of the Federal Bikes family.
I’m really looking forward to meet up with all the Federal homies!
The weather is finally getting better here in Amsterdam so I’ll start filming for my ‘welcome to the family’ video anytime soon.

Nothin’ but Good Times Ahead!” – Roy Van Kempen

We Are Orange Juice – Roy Van Kempen Edit

February 8, 2013

I can’t believe some of the clips in this new Roy Van Kempen edit for We Are Orange Juice are over 2 years old already. This is definitely one video to check out!

“Tom and I were filming for an ‘Amsterdam spots only’ video back in 2010 but we never finished the video. Now because I left United I couldnt use the clips anymore so we decided to bring them out in a new Orange Juice Exclusive video.

Roy Van Kempen hit us up to let us know that he has decided to part ways with his long time sponsor, United Bike Co. Check out a few quick words from him about his decision below.

“As of today Im no longer riding for United Bike Co.

After being in the world/AM team for 4 years I decided that it would be better for me to move on. I had the feeling that it was time for me to check out other opportunities. I want to focus on riding more, work on Weareorangejuice/Orange Juice and work at Soulcycle Amsterdam BMX shop. I hope I will find a new brand that supports me in my ambitions.

I’m leaving on good term with Dean and Ian and I would like to thank them for all their support! I wish them and the whole United team all the best in the future.“

We Are Orange Juice – Jack Nieraeth Edit

February 2, 2013

Roy over at We Are Orange Juice sent through a link to their latest edit. This time around it features Jack Nieraeth getting some time in at the indoor park in Holland. Not only is the riding super good, but I want to ride that place so bad right now.

“We are really stoked on this new Orange Juice exclusive video! Jack Nieraeth is one of the younger shredders in Holland but damn this kid has style for miles! Jack always ride with his friends so when you see footy of Jack it is always with a mixtape with a big crew of dude. Therefore filmer Steijn Leijzer decided that it was time for a webvideo of only Jack Nieraeth.
Hope you enjoy it!
