Vans AM Contest 2015

July 27, 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

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!

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.
