The new 'Foreign' video with Vans Europe's Bruno Hoffmann has been in the works for a while now. Filmed over multiple trips, covering LA, Copenhagen, and Barcelona, Bruno did have plans to finish things off with another stint in the US, but unfortunately due to some ESTA issues out of his control, it wasn't to be. From the looks of the video, that extra trip wasn't even needed though. We caught up with Bruno to find out more about the filming process, stolen passports, and more.

How long have you been filming for this part and where did you travel to?

Honestly only two one week trips to Spain and Denmark, as well as one month in LA staying at Calvin’s. The one to California was the first one without even knowing what it would be for and then it just went from there. 

Do you find it easier to film on a trip or at home? What are the pros and cons of each?

Definitly on trips just because you have a fresh look on spots and feel more in the mood to get stuff done. Also I moved to Frankfurt about 12 years ago and between Ciao Stuff, VX edits for Federal and eclat, aswell as filming for FTS, just a lot of stuff has been done. It’s a big city but not to the point where they build a ton of new spots every year. Also I like to just cruise around town between trips and get some insta clips here and there.

What was the scariest clip to film in the video, and why?

Maybe the gap to wall on the roof just because it was pretty narrow carving in for the switch 3 at the end. If you look closely my front wheel got pretty close to the edge before taking off.

What clip are you most stoked on and why?

Pretty much the same clip for the same reason haha.

Any good stories from any of the filming trips?

Nothing specific but the trip I got to jump on with Dak in CPH was super good. That summer had a crazy airport luggage chaos in Europe so I took a train to Denmark which took 14 hours instead of 8, haha. Once there it was super good, crazy spots, good vibes and just overall a sick city. Thanks to Dak for letting me cruise by!

What model of Vans is usually on your feet when you ride and why?

Mostly been riding in the Rowan 2 with the cup sole, really like the look and sturdiness.

What are your plans for the rest of 2025?

Got a few trips planned to finish my part with Rich and also throwing a jam at the Bocki banks on 12.7 in Frankfurt. Also looking forward to hitting up a few jams around Europe this summer as well as doing another camper van trip with the ourhouse squad.

What are your thoughts on the current state of BMX? What would you like to see more or less of?

I think the scene is doing good, for example the Jam in Manchester last week blew my mind. So many old and new faces, was super sick to see! Pretty much just that - more jams and less complaining.
