Bullshittin’ at the Van Doren Invitational
This is one of those videos that will suck you right on in! Not a lot of people get to experience the super serious, high intensity moments of the deck, but Ryan Fudger at Ride BMX pulled out the camera to show you just how things go down at the Van Doren Invitational. This is clearly a no fun zone. Take a look!
“Unpredictably to me at the time, the Bullshittin’ At X Games video I made was rather enjoyable. So much so, that I had several request for a follow up at the Dew Tour. It didn’t happen. Blame the one-man-show. But, for the Van Doren Invitational, I had Zach and Justin holding down the videos, so I wandered around and pointed the camera in basically everyone’s face. And, how I described the X Games video still subscribes to the $35,000 purse available at the Van Doren Invitational: “But, all the money and all the pressure aside, there’s still this portion of it that is really just jokes. Bullshit, really. All the random shit talk, the playing around, all the stuff that makes BMX fun for a lot of these dudes that are the best of the world still exists in a lot of ways, and I hope this video shows that it’s still mostly laughs…””

“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
