The Lost Interview: Van Homan

Posted in Features, News | April 10, 2015

Working in this industry you always start things with the idea that everything will work out perfect. In most case you end up facing hurdles and you have to strive to get things accomplished. We had just wrapped up an interview with Van for a sports based feature in Front Magazine. If anyone is familiar with Front it’s more of lads n tits type of mag but they certainly had a great reach and we thought it could be fun to do. Everything was set in motion, the interview was done, Van got some photos with his dog and then, right when we really didn’t expect it the magazine went bankrupt and the interview was hypothetically lost at sea with no place to moor.

After a few attempts to get the interview featured in other publications we ended up drifting away from the idea and working on other things. Since then it’s always been on my mind to find the interview and bring these cool photos to life. So here it is, finally.

JEFF

Jeff has been one of the most entertaining and active riders we’ve had in our family but all things sometimes have to come to an end and we are sorry that this relationship has ended. Myself and Jeff will remain friends but as of now he will no longer be riding for Almond Footwear. – Paul Robinson.

Van Homan | At Home on the Road

Posted in News | May 19, 2014

Todays a good day, we are proud to bring you a project with Van Homan and filmer/friend Ryan Scott. Instead of going down the classic route of a welcome edit, Van decided to do what he loves best and get it all filmed along the way. He took off in his truck, visited friends, drank beers and BBQ’d food all over the east coast. If this edit does anything for you today it should be that it makes you grab that bike and go ride and enjoy yourself.
