The latest BMX Videos, Products and News!
It has been a little while since we’ve caught up with Mutiny‘s very own Jeff Wescott to find out what he has been up to lately. We figured with his signature 2016 Comb frame and bars being out, it would be a good time to take a closer look at his current setup to see just what he’s running! So, we have a fresh new Bike Check, along with a bunch of other questions to find out what’s new with the Phoenix, Arizona transplant! Ready? Let’s do this!
Name: Jeff Wescott
Scotty Cranmer dropped a new video online today taking a closer look at his signature SK8-Hi Pro shoe from Vans. Let Scotty show you some of the details, while breaking his wife’s favorite vase in the video above!
“A dream came true for me when my long time sponsor Vans shoes gave me my own signature colorway with my name on it! I got to design my dream BMX shoe and it came out amazing! The shoe sold out and VANS.COM just got them back in stock! In this video I go over the key features of my shoe and I show you why I think it is the best BMX shoe available! And I also interview my Bulldog Clarence about having his face in shoes being worn around the world!”
It looks like Vans and Daniel Sandoval have parted ways. Not sure as to what lead to that decision, but based off Daniel’s post on Instagram is sounds like he might just have a new opportunity on the horizon. If he doesn’t we don’t doubt that it won’t be long before he gets a few offers. Daniel is an absolute shredder and 2016 will be a busy one between contests like the X-Games, traveling and filming.
“I am officially no longer riding for @vansbmx66. Thank you guys for everything & thanks @vansjerry. It’s been an awesome last 7 years. As one door closes another one opens. I’m excited to see what the future holds for me.” – @Daniel_SandovalBMX
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!”
Vans coming in hot with a fresh BMX video from Kevin Kalkoff for your viewing pleasure! Watch as Kevin takes his buttery smooth style to street spots, absolutely slaying each one along the way! Amazing spots, dialed film work and incredible riding. You cannot pass up on this one!
“Without a doubt Kevin is one of the most versatile riders in Europe, his style on and off the bike is just smooth and he makes everything look effortless.
Despite a minor injury, KK had a great 2015 where he even was able to join a shoe campaign between VANS and his new Bike sponsor The Shadow Conspiracy.
A lot of miles were collected as well this year and Kevin was even able to collect some great clips for a bad ass 2015 recap edit.
So, sit back and enjoy some timeless riding by Monsieur Kalkoff.

Two summers ago some of the Vans BMX team spent some time cruising in an RV around the Northwest scoping out spots and enjoying some time out in the wilderness, away from the luxaries of every day life. Well, this past summer they decided they had such a good time and that the Northwest still had A LOT of untapped spots they didn’t get to the first time, that they would load up and do it again. Now, today we get this dialed BMX video filled with amazing riding and the good times the crew had. Hit play and enjoy this one!
Want to see the first video? Watch VANS OREGON TRIP here!
“The Northwest of the United States stands for its nature with mountains, forests, lakes, rivers, the Pacific Ocean…. and for their outstanding parks and bowls.
After an amazing venture to the State of Oregon in 2014, we wanted to return to the land of the pioneers, but take it en route to the north this time and explore Washington State. Yet again, it´s the simple things in life that matter, accompanied by some good humans. No hotel beds, no hot showers, no electricity for 9 days and nights, just some dudes in campfire-stinking, filthy looking clothes on bikes and with big smiles on their faces.
So sit back, grab a beer and slow down – join us for some moments in the outdoors.
And after reading, buy a tent and get out there!
Riders: Bas Keep, Ben Hennon, Kevin Kalkoff, Maxime Charveron, Greg Illingworth and Ollie Shields.

It looks like young gun Marek Kuhalskis is now doing it for Vans! Check out this short but sweet BMX video featuring Marek putting in some work on his local skatepark and a few street spots. This video is literally filmed with Dad Cam, haha. So rad.
“Little Marek is repping VANS shoes in the Baltic region. Here is a quick edit he dropped for them. Filmed and edited by his father. FAMILY VALUES!”
