“Sydney, AUSTRALIA (April 13, 2019) – The adrenaline is still pumping as the 2019 Vans BMX Pro Cup polished off a full day of exceptional BMX competition at the legendary Five Dock Skatepark in Sydney, Australia. Vans congratulates two Spanish riders, Sergio Layos and defending women’s world champion Teresa Azcoaga, for earning their first event victories of the 2019 season.

Cutting through the course with expert precision, Spain’s Sergio Layos put down the ultimate impression for the judges to secure first place against the field. No stranger to the podium, Layos’ emphasis on style produced unique lines, reinventing foundational tricks that included one foot table tops, look back airs, clean transfers, and flawless toboggans. In second, representing the Gold Coast, Chris James put on a wild performance, landing an insane back flip transfer floating across the spine and topping it off with consistent airs and 540s. Smooth as ever, Canada’s Corey Walsh placed third, showing off huge transfers and an ally-oop off the tear drop onto Red Bull sub box. Honorable mentions go out to seasoned competitors Jason Watts, earning the Red Bull Best Trick, and Dennis Enarson for Best Line.

The women’s division offered a diverse showcase of the series’ best women contenders to date, including US riders Angie Marino and Nina Buitrago, plus Australia’s own Natalya Diehm. In the end, reigning women’s world champion Teresa Azcoaga took the cake, demonstrating pure confidence as she landed powerful airs and a noteworthy toboggan over the extension. Azcoaga has been a consistent player in the Pro Cup series, securing several podiums last season to claim glory in the overall series. This win puts her in a prime position in the title race, as she looks to continue her streak into Germany.
Runner up Natalya Diehm also put on an impressive show, compiling a mixed bag of tricks from big transfers and no-handers over the spine to win the judges over. Diehm also earned the Red Bull Best Trick honors with a big ninja drop from the extension. Finally, in third, Angie Marino expressed her flawless style, transferring smooth lines and table top maneuvers.
Building excitement for the world title race, the top 20 rankings from each division will advance to the next stop of the 2019 Vans BMX Pro Cup Series, taking place in Stuttgart, Germany on June 16. The winners from the Sydney regional qualifier have also secured their invites to the World Championships, to be held in Huntington Beach, CA this September.

Vans coming through with a new Classic Tales episode. This time around they caught up with Scotty Cranmer to tell the story of the time he smashed his front teeth out on a failed double backflip during a contest. The crash isn’t too funny, but what happened on the plane ride home is! Hit play an check it out!
“Scotty Cranmer decides during a contest run he is going to try the hardest trick of his life. He goes for it 110% and ends up with his face taking 111% of the impact upon landing. He wakes up toothless and it just gets grosser from there.

I was just re-watching Courage Adams‘ video that Vans dropped a few months back, and remembered I didn’t have it posted up here since it came out while I was still at Ride BMX. This one is too good not to give another watch or first watch if you somehow managed to miss it. Courage is on a whole different level when it comes to balance and bike control, and this video is nothing short of a mind melter from the crazy riding that is non-stop from start to finish. Add in the incredible film work that Rich Forne did and you have a video you can’t pass up.
“Introducing Courage Adams’ first full edit.
Ever since stepping on the scene, Courage’s been turning heads with unreal bike control and explosive moves.
With Rich Forne as the creative mind behind the lens, Courage’s first street part is guaranteed to keep your jaw nailed to the floor.” – Vans
“Jaw-dropping power combined with mind altering technical wizardry. Courage redefines the realms of human capability with one of the gnarliest tricks I have ever filmed.” – Rich Forne
Are you heading down to Florida next weekend for the FloriDeah Swampfest? Make sure you get there early on the 30th because there are 100 pairs of the VERY limited edition Vans Slip-On’s that will be for sale. Since there are only 100 pairs that will be available, we would imagine sizes are going to be limited so these will probably go real fast. No word on price, either, but we would assume whatever they are being sold for will be worth it. These things look so badass. Check out more photos below!
How sick are those graphics?

Badass graphics made their way into the insoles as well!

Here’s one we’ve been anticipating for a few weeks now! To officially welcome Dennis Enarson to the Vans team, Dennis, Gary Young and Kevin Peraza took a trip to Grand Cayman to ride the local park and soak up the sun! As expected, this video turned out absolutely amazing with excellent riding and dialed film work. If you are buried in way too much snow like we are, this would be a dream come true of a trip right about now!
“The Vans BMX Team welcomes Dennis Enarson to the family island-style. Tag along as the crew embark on a journey to re-discover one of the heaviest concrete parks ever built in the most unlikely of places, on Grand Cayman Island in the middle of the of Caribbean Sea, the infamous Black Pearl. Watch Dennis Enarson, Gary Young and Kevin Peraza shred 62,000 square feet of unforgiving Cayman concrete; the first tricks for Dennis Enarson on his new journey with Vans BMX.
