Brian Kachinsky Bike Check

June 8, 2015

If there’s one guy that we always love catching up with, it’s Brian Kachinsky. Brian is always getting into something new and exciting and is never slowing down — unless he’s taking a gnarly slam, which happens from time to time. Brian recently joined the GT Bicycles team and we’re pretty excited about that because it seems like there has been a lot of energy going back into that program over the past year. We had noticed a photo of his bike a little while back and spotted a handful of prototype parts on it, so we figured now was a great time to catch up with Brian and take a closer look at the BMX bike that he calls his these days. Let’s take a closer look!

Name: Brian Kachinsky

Vans X Fiat

June 4, 2015

Fiat recently invited the Vans BMX team to their headquarters in Michigan for a day of cruising INSIDE their corporate head quarters. We’re not sure just why this happened, but we have a feeling there is some sort of collaboration in the works… Either way! You get to watch the guys have some fun and watch the employees wonder what the hell is going on!

“Vans Pro BMX Riders Brian Kachinsky, Dennis McCoy, Dakota Roche and Tyler Fernengel took over FCA Headquarters in Auburn Hills, MI. Watch them shock employees as they ride their bikes trying to not cause too much trouble during their visit.”

Product: Vans – Scotty Cranmer Signature SK8-Hi Pro

June 2, 2015

Take a closer look at the Scotty Cranmer signature SK8-Hi Pro shoe from Vans…

Update:

Get a look at Scotty’s new 2019 signature shoe here — Vans Scotty Cranmer Signature SK8-Hi Pro Colorway 2019

We got the first look at Scotty Cranmer‘s 2nd signature shoe from Vans today in a promo video that dropped online. We were stoked on the news and figured it would be a good time to take a closer look at the SK8-Hi Pro with the Scotty Cranmer signature colorway and talk about some of its finer details! Ready to get a closer look? Let’s do it!

For Scotty Cranmer’s second signature shoe from Vans, he decided to go with the classic SK8-Hi Pro model with his own twist on it in the color department. This shoe uses the Pro Vulc Construction with a blacked out upper that is made from pig suede and ballistic waxy buck to give it a unique look that is clean and simple. Inside you can find the UltraCush HD footbeds with a custom photo of Scotty’s dog, Clarance. As always, you can find the Cans Original waffle outsole o the bottom with the Duracap reinforcement underlays to make sure you aren’t wearing through these and getting plenty of grip on the pedals.

They kept a clean look with the shoe throughout with a fully blacked out kit with a small Red vans tag on the side, a Vans tag on the tongue and the classic Vans rubber label on the heel.

The pig suede and ballistic waxy buck material they used for the upper of the shoe is durable and looks really clean.

You can’t go wrong with the trusty Vans Waffle sole. Plenty of traction and support to keep your feet on the pedals.

Scotty’s dog, Clarance, can be found on the UltraCush HD footbeds to keep your feet comfortable and protected. “Clarance, my bulldog, he really doesn’t give a shit about anything.”

Update: These shoes are sold out and no longer available…. Sorry, guys!

The Scotty Cranmer signature SK8-Hi Pro BMX model shoe is available now in sizes of 6.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12 and 13 for $75 direct from the Vans Webstore or through BMX shops, stores and mail-orders that carry Vans worldwide.

Vans – Scotty Cranmer SK8 Hi-Pro

June 2, 2015

Vans just released this new promo for Scotty Cranmer‘s signature SK8 Hi-Pro signature model colorway that’s out now! Scotty talks a little bit about the shoe and why he chose that model and some of the features, then proceeds to crush it at a cement park. Looks like a solid BMX shoe to us!

“Scotty Cranmer debuts his 2nd shoe with Vans using the Skate Hi model. Scotty has lived three lifetimes in BMX and is still the man to beat at any contest that has a ramp on the course. No one will forget the young man from New Jersey, and this is the shoes that takes him sky high.

Vans – Matthias Dandois 2015

Three words: ABSOLUTE MUST SEE. Matthias Dandois coming through with another amazing BMX video filled with his unique flatland and street style for Vans! Everything about this from the riding to the film work is great. Hit play now!

“Matthias is without a doubt one of the most gifted riders on the globe. Flatland remains his main passion, but he´s always exploring and discovering new ways to combine the world of flatland with what the streets have to offer. For his 2015 edit, he took some challenges and travelled to the streets in Toulouse / France, Roses / Spain and Cape Town / South Africa and borrowed their spots for maybe a new way of riding.

Vans BMX In Cape Town

May 4, 2015

Vans recently sent their European team guys down to South Africa to take in all that Cape Town had to offer! Check out this dialed BMX video giving you a look at the riding they got in and a bunch of footage from what they did off their bikes as well like sight seeing, fishing, getting tattoos and more! This looks like it was a damn good time!

“Maxime Charveron and Vans released one hell of a welcome edit last month (make sure you watch that in case you missed it!) and now we’ve got some more from Max, Kevin Kalkoff, Matthias Dandois and Ben Hennon from their away time in Cape Town, South Africa. Getting the chance to go to South Africa because of bikes is one hell of an opportunity and it looked like the guys made the most of their time out there with some shark shenanigans, epic drain spots, puff puff penguins, and some new ink bro.
