VANS “MASH” – STREET

Leave a Comment

Vans have released Part 2 of their “MASH” videos! Last week we got a look at the VANS “MASH” – TRANSITION video, now today we get the Street section that features the Vans Europe street guys absolutely CRUSHING IT. This is over 6 minutes of hammers that you won’t want to miss. Hit that play button and enjoy!

“Today we’ve got the second of the sick two part MASH mixtape series for you courtesy of the VANS squad! Since all their team projects had to be cancelled due to covid, their riders wanted to be active and do their part as soon as they were allowed to go out and be safe again. But with very limited travel options, they all kept it local in their region (or wherever was allowed) and asked their homies to press on that red button. Rich Forne then took the footage and created two heavy mixtape MASH videos.

You’ve seen the Transition heads do their thing, now it’s time to watch what Kilian Roth, Bruno Hoffmann, Courage Adams, Anthony Perrin, Simone Barraco, Alex Donnachie and Kevin Kalkoff got up to. This goes hard as hell!” – DIG

Vans – Cauan Madona “ELO”

Leave a Comment

Vans dropped this new banger featuring their connect down in Brazil, Cauan Madona, throwing down on cement parks and trails! Cauan throws down a bunch of heavy moves with a ton of style. Everything from the riding to the film work is on point, so hit play and take this one in! It’s a must see for sure!

“The links of a bicycle chain can be interpreted as a metaphor for the friendships and bonds that exist throughout the BMX community. Without those links, nothing moves. Friends are the inertia that drives things to happen in bike culture.

Vans Brazil’s BMX Family member, Cauan Madona, is forever linked to Felipe Corrêa, his longtime friend who is responsible for his first video part and this most recent project.
Over a year, sessions and tricks were recorded in São Paulo, São Bernardo do Campo, Amparo, Serra Negra, Jundiaí, and Rio de Janeiro.

However, they were paused because of the global pandemic and a knee injury.

Friends and family support, along with the birth of Cauan’s daughter, Lizzie, were the impulse to link back up with Felipe and continue to ride on and take BMX culture further.

Without links, the bike won’t move.
Without friends, BMX would be a lonely scene.

Vans – Dakota Roche “Seeking Liberty”

Leave a Comment

Dakota Roche in Philadelphia!

It’s always a good day when a new Dakota Roche video drops! Here’s his new “Seeking Liberty” video from Vans filled with a ton of amazing riding from some time he spent cruising Philadelphia after not visiting the city for 8 years! You already know everything about this is an absolute MUST SEE! After you give the video a watch, then make sure you check out Dakota’s new signature Vans Slip-On BMX kit!

“The first time Vans BMX’s Dakota Roche had the opportunity to ride Philly was 13 years ago and since then, it’s held a special place in his heart. Although Dak grew up on the west coast, he has always had a love and fascination with the style of spots on the east coast. The grittiness, character and architecture just speaks to BMXers differently than anywhere else in the world… After 8 years since Dakota’s last visit(and being cooped up for most of 2020), finally being free to rip around The City of Brotherly Love once again felt better than he could have imagined, and having the first ever Slip On BMX was the icing on the cake. Hope you enjoy the visual representation of Dak’s time spent in Philadelphia, seeking liberty.
