I know Van. He was always really good since I can remember. Ivyland skatepark from like 1995 to riding street in Philly. We had some fun sessions when it was like just Van, Wiz and myself. I got to see some crazy ish go down. It was cool to see him manual Penn rail, a landmark in Philly BMX. That was my favorite clip because even though the rail is flat, it's pretty skinny, long, and you can't hop straight onto it. It's at an angle, so it's pretty crazy he did a manual on it. He does know those rails well, though. He ice picked it a long time ago. I'm 40, so he's like 42 or 43 and still doing it. He's built for it though. Big dude, probably 6'3" 230 of BMX muscle. 2nd best looking tailwhips besides Taj.
I never thought it would be possible for someone to ever match Vans Criminal Mischief part. But here he is one upping his own riding! I know it’s 4 years old, but still! That rail manual...I remember that was the biggest ice pick I’ve ever seen, and then he manuals it!! WTF!!! Such insane athleticism and style!!
I come back to this after all these years and remember thinking when it came out how mind blowing it was. It may even be more mind blowing now. Some of those approaches and exits from his lines are far from ideal and he's doing big grinds and combos into and out of them. He's such an Animal. Just on attack mode.
The man that started putting tires on rails, and still one of the few that manual rails. Van is a beast. I remember first hearing of him on a props video and taking note that he would be the next level. Love live VAN
The first time I knew who Van was, was when I saw him on a poster. He was doing a turn down transfer between jersey barriers in Vancouver. And that is when I feel in love with BMX.
VAN is KING! I'm 33 now but I rode daily from 13 to 20 years old what's a long time ago visiting parks up and down the UK, he is still the king and killing it now! love how hes wearing the lid as well
Way back in the day on a Europe Road Fools I believe, Van said to Ruben and Osato that they didn't have to ride for the rest of the trip. Well Van, you can take the rest of the trip off too man.
As someone who didn’t follow bmx for many, many years, and who got back into riding at the start of the pandemic, I’m just seeing this for the first time today. I don’t even know what to say- it’s truly hard to believe what I’m seeing.
holy fuck...im almost 45 and i have watched this video and the manimal riding in it atleast 12 times now were im planning on buying myown fit VHS bike in 2018 and i havent touched a bmx since the 90s the stellar music and edit skills to sync the song to the tricks and landings is kinda hard to match up perfectly "mind blown"
Honestly, no homo, van homan inspired me to fucking try anything i put my mind too..most if the time u left the spot successful... VAN, ur my dude! Every edit is f-ing awesome. I just started riding agian after 7 yrs. Im rusty but i always keep the van state of mind in point. Im not gonna lie. I was a herion addict for 10 yrs, now ive woken up and got clean, ima try everything.. u rint believe me. My name is Joey Glew. Pittsburgh PA
Still an absolutely great section, really hypes me unlike the newschool stuff. Stew still top dude with edits! None of that artsy crap. BMX to the bone
What an animal, taking hits like that at his age and slaying street harder than ever, dude crushes! One of the most inspiring riders of all time. Sick editing and song choice.
***** Me too, since early 90's. Still have my skyway and my S&M Holmes. Recently got a cruiser and a Fit Hartbreaker. I'm 35 and a bit out of shape. I ride dialed brakes and a full face helmet, knee pads, gloves, and a slim padded chest protector shirt when riding dirt!
Well Van Homan is the Everlast of BMX! Everlast has a white beard now, still raps, and pulls it off! Van Homan will be the only rider with white hair still firing out rails and bombing stairs! He must have access to some genetic engineering we don't know about because BMX is proven to be harder on a persons body then even Motorcycles!
It is 2024 and this Video is still kicking ass.
I started watching Van Homan when I was a little kid. I'm now an old man and he's still amazing.
Top 10 rider of all time.
Anybody remember the posters that used to come in Ride?

Never, were forever young! This is what it was like for Dennis McCoy when we were younger!
@@bigj2965undeniable
VAN HOMAN HAS SAVED US
Yeah screw the fixed gears!
Gnarliest fucin part still to this day
I love how 90% of the sounds of the bike landing and the sounds of hitting the rail all hit right on beat with the music. Great editing!
Guy is a fucking beast one of my favorite riders.
for those who ride like van,
i salute you!
listened to his interview on unclicked and paused it for a reminder of this video part, excellent indeed.

One of the best to get on a 20" bicycle. lol
Greatest street rider of all time. No doubt.
2020, and Van Homan still makes me punch the air, and feel queezy at the same time
5 years later. Watched this again, still LOVE his riding. What a part
When I was a young buck van homan had them rail manuels on lock... Now I'm a grown ass man and he still has them on lock.... MIND BLOWN
I remember seeing Van Homan in magazines as a kid doing crazy shit way back then, he hasn't slowed down one bit! Dude is an absolute machine!!!
yesss
Dude just can do it all. does all the newschool tricks, big handrails, huge gaps. not afraid of anything.
The LEGEND will not STOP! And that's how you manual a rail!
STILL ONE OF THE BEST VIDEO PARTS EVER! I KEEP COMING BACK YEARS LATER!
Absolutely awesome.
2021 this part still is fucking insane
I have his bike and after watching this display of greatness I don't think I can ride it anymore... Back to the Walmart bike till I'm worthy 😔
Coffee Drinker I'm sure homan would be honored to see you on it regardless of skill level
Van Homan is going to be 37 this year and he still riding? Holy Shit, how does his body take it?
This man was a pro before I was even born lmao
He ain't human 🤘🏾
The man that started putting tires on rails, and still one of the few that manual rails. Van is a beast. I remember first hearing of him on a props video and taking note that he would be the next level.
Love live VAN

Van Homan has been the GOAT for at least 15 years. Shame that i quit biking before he did, and he's gotta be pushin 40 now
LEGENDARY ! ! ! Oh my God what I've just watched hahaha. Van Homan is the best !
As someone who didn’t follow bmx for many, many years, and who got back into riding at the start of the pandemic, I’m just seeing this for the first time today. I don’t even know what to say- it’s truly hard to believe what I’m seeing.
This video contains so many bangers and possible enders...oh my god

The greatest rider of all time.
Van's still the man.
The legend.

Still 100 times better than any post 2013 bmxer. Most new riders need to take a history lesson.
love seeing pros riding brakes and a helmet.
old school. I've always rode with a rear brake. been riding since 1995. still using my old ass heavy T1 Barcode frame aswell 😀
*****
Me too, since early 90's. Still have my skyway and my S&M Holmes. Recently got a cruiser and a Fit Hartbreaker. I'm 35 and a bit out of shape. I ride dialed brakes and a full face helmet, knee pads, gloves, and a slim padded chest protector shirt when riding dirt!
