Van Homan - Holy Fit

I started watching Van Homan when I was a little kid. I'm now an old man and he's still amazing.

[@bigj2965]

Top 10 rider of all time.

[@joereadel]

Anybody remember the posters that used to come in Ride?

[@robertcooney1938]

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.

Never, were forever young! This is what it was like for Dennis McCoy when we were younger!

VAN HOMAN HAS SAVED US

[@MrAwwwwYeahhhh]

Yeah screw the fixed gears!

[@The.Dongler]

for those who ride like van, i salute you!

[@snicklefritz7861]

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!

[@russman109]

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!!

[@tylergreen4383]

legend! this is real riding right here!

[@Eclectimo]

2020, and Van Homan still makes me punch the air, and feel queezy at the same time

[@allennickles3970]

STILL ONE OF THE BEST VIDEO PARTS EVER! I KEEP COMING BACK YEARS LATER!

[@motionisgay]

Greatest street rider of all time. No doubt.

[@petterhjalmarsson4104]

listened to his interview on unclicked and paused it for a reminder of this video part, excellent indeed.

[@willhicks8769]

5 years later. Watched this again, still LOVE his riding. What a part

[@TheBarrettCompound]

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!!!

[@hotshothogger]

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.

[@Fuck_Tarentum_Boro]

One of the best to get on a 20" bicycle. lol

[@wenndann5708]

It is 2024 and this Video is still kicking ass.

[@kaijiex3]

The LEGEND will not STOP! And that's how you manual a rail!

[@2hiptom]

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

[@Saltydogg909]

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 😔

[@sillygoose7340]

Coffee Drinker I'm sure homan would be honored to see you on it regardless of skill level

[@scottbradford4130]

Gnarliest fucin part still to this day

[@straightdooshbags1786]

Van is the baddest dude on the face of the earth.

[@saiiiiiii1]

Dude just can do it all. does all the newschool tricks, big handrails, huge gaps. not afraid of anything.

[@rogerbenton2755]

He's always been special

[@christopherhall4125]

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.

[@accursedomega9662]

Van Homan is going to be 37 this year and he still riding? Holy Shit, how does his body take it?

[@angelr6524]

This man was a pro before I was even born lmao

[@PabloGonzalez-hv3td]

He ain't human 🤘🏾

[@unclemoom1]

Absolutely awesome.

[@HashBMX]

LEGENDARY ! ! ! Oh my God what I've just watched hahaha. Van Homan is the best !

[@JeffyJæmes]

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

[@KalenMK]

I watched this twice.... In a row

[@marathaliullin2297]

LEGEND!!!LEGEND!!!LEGEND!!!LEGEND!!!LEGEND!!!💪

[@hotshothogger]

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.

[@saiiiiiii1]

This video contains so many bangers and possible enders...oh my god

[@trlblzr7]

Every year I watch this I feel the pain more,damn what a beast.

[@p0rchm0nkeyz]

ABSOLUTE LEGEND.

[@Vitusvonatzinger]

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.

[@aljaymontenegro513]

He's a machine!

[@djbenr10]

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

[@pe4153]

Van Homan was definitely about the rock and we salute you

[@Fausto_4841]

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

[@paulyphonic]

Soooooo good. 🔥🤘🏻🔥

[@JonBonDonegan]

Van has saved us.

[@klassickingz9094]

Love how he faces life and death in the eye's before he attempts to do a risky trick. Freakin bad ass😜🤘🏾🤘🏾

[@xXTetoraSKXx]

The greatest rider of all time.

[@robwolfe6120]

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.

[@eskimo4130]

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

[@Aspire7]

Van's still the man.

[@ernesto782]

One of the best f****** edits ever

[@DesperadoDufel]

2021 this part still is fucking insane

[@Coletraintheknicks]

I like his "I don't give a fuck, I'm riding it" style. AC/DC put the icing on the cake

[@ricardopenacar3829]

La old school presente! estilo callejero puro, agresividad innata... De los mejores Riders!

[@thelaughingwood]

The legend.

[@JanLovesBmx]

6 Minute amazement.

[@tokenride04]

[@8686joedog]

love seeing pros riding brakes and a helmet.

[@WSO83]

old school. I've always rode with a rear brake. been riding since 1995. still using my old ass heavy T1 Barcode frame aswell 😀

[@8686joedog]

***** 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!

[@WSO83]

+8686joedog to much living to do to risk loosing life my friend. brakes and helmet always.

[@GideonWallace]

Yup, nothing is cool about whacking your bare head and having vertigo for the rest of your life

[@saturnvi5421]

4:04 best clip. That was ballsy van.

[@meldrumbmx]

[@jamesminard6154]

So fuckin raw. If you saw my face watching this, you'd think I was watching a horror movie.

[@Fuck_Tarentum_Boro]

Van is a complete badass! One of my all time favorites Is he still actively riding??

[@robertlund5694]

You know when someone is oldskool - they keep hold of the bike for all costs when they slam(making the accident worse).. 🤟😳

[@maximoalvilles3381]

The best video part of the fuckin year!

[@PedroF1981]

[@Rich2wheels]

Style style style! 5/5

[@accursedomega9662]

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!

[@edwingarcia5290]

Holy shit
