Vans BMX Presents Courage Adams: ‘Balanced’ Highlighting the global approach that has shaped Courage’s BMX career
Vans BMX proudly presents Courage Adams: Balanced, a new edit exploring the riding that has placed Courage on a path to success, steadily building his BMX career through hard work and dedication. Filmed in Africa, France, and Courage’s current homebase of Spain, Balanced reflects Courage’s global approach to BMX, including some of the locations that have defined his meteoric rise. Leading with his guiding philosophy, “Balance is key to life,” Courage has made a name for himself with his gift for unbelievable bike control, which is captured in this edit by director Rich Forne.
“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,” 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.”
