  Gary Young in VANS IllustratedGary just keeps getting better. Hit play ’cause you’re definitely not going to want to miss this.
  GROW UP / CreditsWe hope you've enjoyed watching Grow Up as much as we enjoyed making it.
  GROW UP / Erik ElstranIt’s easy to see Erik Elstran is a free spirit. Take one look at whatever colorful and delightfully eccentric outfit he’s sporting at any given moment (that he probably sewed himself), and it’s pretty clear this guy isn’t trying to run with the herd. Watching him ride, it’s even easier to appreciate the breadth of […]
  Jake Seeley – Homie SessionsThere are so many good setups in this video and Jake and his homies definitely know how to put them to good use. Hit play to witness some proper spot usage!
  GROW UP / Chris ChildsShooting with Chris Childs can be a harrowing experience. Chris pedals fast, jumps far, airs high, grinds big… there’s plenty of potential for catastrophe, but I get the sense I’m usually more concerned than he is. The word “casual” gets thrown around a lot when describing highly-skilled bike riders, but Chris is the poster boy […]
  Alec Siemon for Sunday BikesI can’t say how long we’ve been filming this because honestly I lost count after six months. Originally we were filming for a mixtape with all the homies but Ale was the only one stacking clips. So, I put the clips together one night and showed him the timeline the next day, and we went […]
  GROW UP / Mark BurnettShooting with Mark Burnett is a treat. As soon as Mark says he wants to film something, three things are already assumed: it’ll be really really hard, he’ll pull it, and it’ll be perfect. This young man is unbelievably confident on his bike and will casually fire out hyper-elaborate tech combos and the most dangerous […]

  GROW UP / Julian Arteaga, Jared Duncan, and Alec SiemonJulian Arteaga, Jared Duncan, and Alec Siemon – Sunday’s AM squad – are some crazy talented and creative bike riders who are each pushing BMX forward in their own unique way. Julian’s smooth and refined technical prowess, Jared’s uncanny ability to look like he’s not even trying, and Alec’s unprecedented tailwhip mastery are only the […]
  Alec Siemon on DIG BMXOur boy Alec Shmalec sits down with DIG and answers a few questions. When you’re done watching the video, go HERE for some pics and the full article. Enjoy!
  GROW UP / Aaron RossAaron Ross has been steady killing it as a top pro BMXer for more than a decade. That’s an impressive feat for any rider, but damn near unthinkable for someone who works as hard as Aaron. Check out his domination of the Grow Up crash trailer or his substantial contribution to the wrecks section in […]
  GROW UP / DoublesNext up we have the Grow Up doubles section. We had a lot of fun with this one, but make no mistake, some of these clips took hours to film, and there were some really close calls. I’m gonna say it was well worth it. –Walter Pieringer
