Courage Adams “Balanced” - VANS
Stop what you're doing!

Two minutes of fresh Courage footage for VANS? Yes please! Needless to say, this is a banger and according to what Vans say below, there's something even more special to come.
“Working with Courage on this project, I got to experience firsthand the jaw-dropping power and incomprehensible balance and imagination he brings to his riding,” Rich Forne said. “Courage has no concept of limitation and is able to do whatever he wants on a bike so long as it is strong enough to keep up with his incredible vision.”
Vans, Forne, and Courage were laser-focused on capturing never-done-before tricks at extreme heights, including at one specific location in Lyon, France. Despite several fearless attempts, the trick ultimately evaded Courage, forcing the team to rework the edit. Not one to be deterred, Courage heads back to Lyon, France, later this summer and plans to capture the trick in an upcoming full-length film.
“While it’s not the video part we were planning due to some unexpected challenges, I’m still happy we were able to pull it all together,” Courage said. “I understand that it's part of the game and you have to keep moving forward without giving up. I will be back with an even stronger one.”
In addition to his video part, Courage recently worked with Vans to create a signature take on the Old Skool BMX and a supporting apparel collection. The design was inspired by his Nigerian roots and symbolizes balance and patience – principles at the core of his riding. - VANS
