Video: The Vanzacs - Home Is Where You Park It Ep.1

Jun 21, 2015
by David McMillan  
The Vanzacs is a group of riders from Australia and New Zealand who are racing the world cup series out of their own pocket, chasing the good times and living in vans that cost less than a tank of fuel for the big trade teams rigs. This is a video series to give you a look at how the less serious side of the world cup series is done. With no real plan and a whole lot of winging it these are our adventures!

 If all race teams acted like this I would race again. Everyone has forgotten that they started riding because it was such fun.

 There is still a ton of this fun hearted in the northeast DH scene... I am about ready to get back on track after several years, you should consider it too bro!

 Kind of the dark side of being pro in basically all sports, isn't it? But that's exactly what they get paid for.
More brands should support guys living their dreams, not giving them up.

 The marketing behind dh bikes would have to shift from race results to just having the most fun possible

 @ohklee that's already happening.
Teams like Bergamont Hayes and Pivot Factory are like that. Their sponsors probably don't care if they dont have decent results, as long as there is plenty of kickass coverage

 @fabdemaere I am glad. If that becomes a trend, hopefully we will start to see fewer injuries. Same goes for the freestyle world. I am all down for seeing the sport progress, but not at the cost of people seriously injuring themselves to the point that they can no longer enjoy it.
