Cult X Vans – King of the Skatepark Tribute Jam
Cult released this BMX video from the session they threw at the Vans HB Park over the weekend during the Van Doren Invitational to get a bunch of the locals, a handful of pros from the Cult team to guys like Devon Smillie, Dan Foley, Jacob Cable and more all together for a full day of riding and good times! Check out the highlight reel in this video. Looks like it was a packed house to us!
“Saturday was lit with over 270 riders showing up to shred the HB VANS PARK…We had a best line comp in the bowl and the homie COREY WALSH handled that, on the street course JACOB CABLE took best trick with a assortment of nose combos…All the while the LEGENDS were ripping the big bowl in the back…Here’s a quick recap from VEESH…Thanks to VANS, THE HB STAFF and EVERYONE who came out…”
2015 Van Doren Invitational – Practice Day 2
When you have a course like the bowl for the Van Doren Invitational packed with riders like Dennis Enarson, Daniel Sandoval, Chase Hawk, Gary Young, Matt Roe, Kris Fox, Kevin Peraza, Dean Cueson, Greg Illingworth, Scotty Cranmer, Clint Reynolds, Pat Casey, Trey Jones and more, amazing things are going to go down! Check out highlights from day two of practice in the video above. If this is what we’re seeing in practice… Just imagine how insane the actual contest will be?!
“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
2015 Van Doren Invitational Practice – Day 1
What happens when you drop a ton of guys like Chase Hawk, Greg Illingworth, Dean Cueson, Dan Foley, Maxime Charveron, Matt Roe, Larry Edgar, Kris Fox, Tom Dugan, Scotty Cranmer and a handful more of BMX’s best bowl riders (and let’s be real, most stylish) in for a session together? Amazing riding goes down. Take a look at what went down during the first day of practice for this years Van Doren Invitational in California! This contest is going to be nuts!
“Being on the deck at the 2015 Van Doren Invitational is a bit nuts… It’s essentially the most stacked bowl session of the century (with 30 of the best bowl riders in the world), and everyone has just a single hour heat to figure shit out. They somehow do figure shit out, and the result is a mixture of flowy speed, style, and tricks… Major shoutout to Larry Edgar and the triple tabletop in here, more to come tomorrow.

Vans AM Contest 2015
Check out highlights from this years Vans AM Contest that went down last weekend out in California! Based of the highlights, it looks like everyone from the young guns to the big dogs were throwing down some heavy moves. Germany’s Boyd Hilder came out on top and it’s easy to see why when you hit play on this BMX video! So many bangers went down!
“Vans and Cult hosted the annual Vans BMX AM contest at the Vans park in Orange, California this past Saturday. First places finishers in each class won a Cult complete along with lots of other cool stuff from Vans and Cult. And the winner of the Sponsored Class, Boyd Hilder, got an invite to compete at the Vans US Open BMX Van Doren Invitational in Huntington Beach. The level of riding and amount of consistency throughout the day was insane—there’s such a wealth of talented locals riders in the OC/LA area. And props to LA’s Thee Block, for bringing a van full of their local shredders down to the contest and keeping it fun and enthusiastic all day.” – Ride BMX
