DIG just dropped the latest podcast that Shad Johnson did with the one and only Van Homan to talk about a ton of different topics from ay back in the day on up into more relevant topics today. Definitely worth hitting play and listening to this one!

“We sat down with Van Homan while he was visiting Portland late in 2015 and had one hell of an epic discussion. It feels like we covered almost everything and anything ranging from how much of a game changer Standard 3/8’s heat treated axle’s were when they came out, to the classic Trailblazin’ video, filming for both the Little Devil videos, keeping that mindset to keep pushing your riding as you get older, and so so many other things. Van just started talking before we were even ready to go so we just hit record. Enjoy this unscripted and open conversation with a truly influential game changing legend of our time.” – DIG

Fit Bike Co. – Rooftop Radness with Van Homan

September 23, 2015

We have seen some rad promos for signature complete BMX bikes in the past, but this might be one of our favorites. Watch as Van Homan puts his 2016 signature complete from Fit Bike Co. to good use at a crazy warehouse setup with ramps before taking it to the roof top to have some more fun. Looks like it’s one sturdy BMX bike to us.

“Van Homan’s always looking for an excuse to get rad and putting his signature completes through the paces on a Philly rooftop seemed like a good one.

The VH 1 has a 20.5 top tube and is available in Matte Clear and Matte Black. See all the specs here: http://fitbikeco.com/bikes-2016/vh-1/

Pools Gold – Part 2

August 20, 2015

Here’s one we have been excited to see since Pools Gold Part 1 came out last week! Check out some more action from Van Homan, Jason Enns, Garrett Byrnes, Mike Escamilla and Rob Dolecki as they cruise a few more pools and do a little cleaning on one. Such a good BMX video. Watch this, then make sure you watch Pools Gold Part 1!

“Episode 2 of 2

Van Homan (FIT/Dans Comp), Jason Enns (Volume/Demolition) and Garrett Byrnes (T1), together on a Southern California adventure consisting of hopping fences and surfing some concrete waves? What is this, 2002?

Nope, this actually happened a few months ago early in 2015, though this was the first time all three have been on a trip together since the Criminal Mischief filming-era over a decade ago. And it was on the opposite end of the spectrum as what would normally be defined as a “filming trip.” It was more so essentially a week-long riding vacation (literally for Garrett), and these legends reminisced about old memories, and made some new memories to last a lifetime. Stew Johnson captured this experience for your viewing pleasure; hope you enjoy. Garrett’s MVP award is on the way… ”

Van Homan “2×4” Full Video Part

August 20, 2015

Who needs coffee when you have Van Homan‘s section from the old 2×4 Store DVD to watch! Talk about some serious heat. Get on that play button and watch this BMX video because it is absolute FIRE.

“Introducing a new video feature from DIG – ‘Memory Stick’ highlights some of our favourite video sections of all time both old and new-ish. Opening things up is none other than one of the most savage individuals to step foot on a bike, Van Homan and his section from the 2X4 video, released in 2008. Two By Four was Van Homan’s shop that was located in Pennsville, NJ (open from 2006-2012), and the self-titled release was their first and only full-length shop video. Filmed primarily on the east coast of the U.S. As you can see, Van put 100% into this part; the last few clips in particular bring the heat. Filmed by Brian Wizmerski, Darryl Tocco, and Ryan Navazio.” – DIG

Ender Ender – Van Homan

August 18, 2015

For the latest round of Ender Ender from DIG, we get the story behind Van Homan‘s ender clip in the Two By Four video that came out back in 2008. As many of you might recall, Van did a manual down a kinked rail. What you probably didn’t know is how it all went down. This is the story…

“Back in 2008 Van Homan was looking to close his section for the 2X4 video and he needed a banger clip to tie everything up and luckily Wiz and a nearby kink rail were on hand to help. Straight on rail manuals pretty much belong to Van so it’s no surprise he was the guy to get his one done – and all with that classic Homan style. Stew Johnson sat down with the saviour and got him to take us through the whole process from start to finish. I wonder how many BMX girlfriends/wives have had to film a second angle as epic as that before?!”

This BMX video will probably make you older guys feel OLD because these are the guys we grew up watching and now they’re the “old guys” just having a good time. This has cameos from Mike Escamilla, Corey Bohan, Ryan “Biz” Jordan and Rob Dolecki which makes it even better. Talk about a bunch of legends… Oh, and Stew Johnson filmed the damn thing! Stacked, stacked, stacked… Why haven’t you hit play yet! So stoked this is only part one!
