VANS Messin´ with Texas - a BMX trip to Austin, TX
Posted 05/02/2011 by Vans EU
Our Euro BMX crew headed to Austin, Texas in the in the good ol' US of A to visit friends, shake off the winter blues and ride! Check out this teaser and stay tuned for an epic edit of our boys 'messin with texas'...
Early April the VANS bmx crew took the opportunity to escape the European weather and visit some friends in Austin TX, USA.
A lot of the riders havent been to Austin before so it was about time to check out the typical Austin scene and lifestyle many guys told them about. The first thing everyone has seen at souvenir shops were t-shirts with the print „keep Austin weird“ - well if that wasnt enough for a motto, what was?
The trip was´nt meant to be a full on heavy riding production. We wanted to adapt to the Austin vibe and create more of a documentary of our stay.
The crew was the most part of the VANS EMEA team and some local reppers from the UK team. Austin locals Dylan Smith and Chase Hawk joined the crew even for a day or two at some spots.
List of crew members:
Ben Hennon
Bruno Hoffmann
Bas Keep
Tobias Wicke
Kevin Kalkoff
Matt Priest
Dan Lacey
Phil Aller
Zack Williams
All edits were filmed by Alex „Mayol“ Baret / GREENFILMS
Photos by Vincent Perraud / VANS
Three edits are planned for the trip:
Teaser - online 2nd May
main - online 6th May
bonus - online 16th May
Analog to the moving images there will be print articles in
RIDE UK - issue # 152 / by Walter Peringer
FREEDOM - issue #100 / by Vincent Perraud
Many thanks to the people that made our stay so compfy:
