“Check out our BMX highlights from yet another amazing Simple Session. The Vans team seemed perfectly suited to the park and street courses with each rider playing to their strengths and finding some great lines that took full advantage of the Simple Session set up. With everyone pushing hard it was inevitable that there were going to be some slams and unfortunately Lacey, Young and Harrington all crashed out. Whilst he might of missed out on a podium position Bruno Hoffmann’s ability to consistently come through with his clean, strong style whilst pulling out bangers will no doubt stick with people for a long time.” – Vans

Vans – Kevin Kalkoff Edit
Always, always, always stoked on some fresh Kevin Kalkoff footage. Here’s his new edit for Vans that turned out super good. Check this!
“It’s been a while since we’ve had an edit from European Vans BMX Pro Kevin Kalkoff but this new clip was well worth the wait. Shot over the last few months in France and Spain the Frenchman goes hard on the streets reminding us why this guy is one of our favorite riders to watch.”
Vans Demo at 29 Palms Video
“The Vans crew loaded up the RV with a bunch of riders and skaters and headed out to the 29 Palms Marine base to shred their skate plaza and hand out some Vans swag to all the loyal fans. Te concrete was pretty slick but some wild moves went down over the picnic table. Featuring Ryan Guettler, Dakota Roche, Gary Young, Josh Borden, Hoang Tran and some steezy flow team riders as well.” – Vans

Ideal 1936 Skatepark
Oh wow.. This place looks phenomenal. So crazy to see places like this being converted into skateparks.
“The Ideal Cinema first opened in the small French city of Albi back in 1936, It was the height of the “Front Populaire” and the local audience were hungry for the distraction from everyday events that the opulent 400sqm theater offered. 76 years later and after more than a month of hard work by the “Roots” association, the doors of this historical venue have re-opened. The Ideal now houses a spectacular indoor skatepark, Local rider Nico Cambon gave it a once over.
