The G.O.A.T. riding to his favorite band of all time and absolutely fucking killing it. Thank you very much, Duo.

UPDATE: A couple people asked in the comments… here’s the link to the photo of the banger.

Here is a look at the East Coast Roast Jam that FBM put on not long ago. Seeing that George Dossantos is still out there riding is great, and fellow OGs Van Homan, Kenny Horton and Rob Tibbs get some clips as well.

Thanks to Fit, you can take a look at Van’s newest ride.

Van Homan has been responsible for some amazingly progressive video parts in his day. Being the living legend that he is, he could just rest on his laurels… but that couldn’t be any farther from the situation for him. Sit back and enjoy the madness that is Van Homan.

Here Van Homan himself sits down and discusses rail progress, specifically how he invented the Derek Duster along with Derek Adams.

This originally appeared in the final issue of Props. So stoked it’s finally online, look at this rider list:

Van Homan
Garrett Reeves
Andrew Jackson
Dave Thompson
Randy Brown

Serious cast of god-like riders.

The whole “Friday Interview” thing Ride has been doing has actually been pretty good. Check out a good one with Van Homan right here.

Just finally got a press release about the big news that we broke earlier this month:

“Ipath Footwear, fresh off of strong showings at the recent Long Beach and New York City Agenda trade shows, has formed a BMX team led by industry legend, Van Homan. Homan, an X-Games medalist in street, dirt, and park is joined by fellow team members Seth Kimbrough, Shane Weston and Alex Magallan.

While Ipath’s roots run deep in skate, they have been widely accepted and welcomed into both the BMX and surf communities as the lifestyle footwear brand for the active youth culture.

Ipath will feature several styles launching in Fall 2012 to support their new BMX team.

Please visit ipath.com for more information.”

The BMX part of the site no longer exists and there isn’t a link to the BMX team page anymore, which is odd, but I’m sure they have a new one in the works.

UPDATE: Whoops, spoke too soon. The iPath BMX team are listed along with the skate team on their “family” page. Probably the only company I’ve ever seen put their skate and BMX pro’s on the same team page like this.

UPDATE 2: Brian Osborne (who is now the iPath TM) just texted me saying that Chester Blacksmith, Raul Ruiz and Brian Yeagle are still on the team despite not being on the current team page.

You already know that Van left Orchid for iPath but here’s Derek’s official statement on the split:

“You may have heard by now that Van Homan has moved on to greener pastures, or so they say. For the first time in 14 years we won’t be working together in some form or fashion. I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thanks for everything, but that would hardly sum up how I feel. Van has been like a little brother to me since we first met back in 1996. We’ve been through a lot more than the typical sponsor/sponsoree relationship. We’ve been room mates, travel companions, band mates, partners in crime, trail digging buddies, best man (yikes), but most of all, good friends for 16 years. Through all of that, we built a bmx empire together complete with indoor bowls and poker lounges. We’ve kinda done it all, it’s been a wild ride. As with any brothers we might not always agree or see eye to eye, but in the end we both know we love each other. And honestly, I’m kind of looking forward to being back where we started. No expectations, no business stuff confusing anything, kind of the way it should be. I’m just glad we made it through to the other side. One day hopefully we’ll have stories to tell the grand kids.

-Derek Adams

PS: and to the dudes who snatched him up, you made a good investment. Just take care of my little bro or I’ll fuck you up.”

This has been common knowledge for a few months but apparently it’s official since this photo was taken at the iPath booth at Agenda.
