Chad Degroot - RUNNING ON EMPTY? - 50 YEARS OF BMX

With plenty left in the tank...

23 Mar 2024

Chad Degroot has served full duty for BMX for decades as a rider, park/company/shop owner and more. He's a giver, and now at 50 years old, he's still going strong. This edit from Chad's own Deco brand serves as a retrospective on the legend that is Chad Degroot...

Full tank of gas, full belly of food, full mind of more...never running on empty. 50 years old and most involved in BMX in some form or another. Fill up that belly and ride all day. Chip in for gas and go to that town, city, or state. Discussions of bike parts, brands, and riders we look up to. Who is doing what and how. Become the rider and the scene. Be the party. Lead after following. Friends with the pioneers. Go your own way. Grow BMX. Turn gray't. The Calendar says 50 is today. March 23, 1974 + 3-23-24 =

This compilation consists of a commercial shot in Miami with a mohawk, childhood shenanigans, Baco days, Road Fools 3, my fav combos past and present, magic spots, a remix of my Baco 10 section, and always the Darkside.

So many filmers, editors, camera workers, locations, sponsors, and friends/family to thank. Thank you all.
