The name is symbiosis (connection with) BMX biking, skateboarding and other extreme sports. I bought a pair of Vans shoes 3 years ago and I still use them. I like to wear them when I ride my BMX bike on hot black asphalt slab scuffing like a madman trying to land that same flatland trick. The Vans seem to hook easier to tire when scuffing compared to my other biking shoes. The Vans Shoe company has been around a long time so we did some research on company. Here are some of facts of Vans. The California based company opened their first skatepark in Midwest. It is a 53,000 square foot

Personal experiences at a public skatepark.Vision this. You and your friends have been riding for about an half hour on your BMX bike or skateboard at local public skatepark and suddenly a mini van pulls into parking lot and out of a van, kids between ages of 3 to 7 years old come flying out sidedoor. They run past playground and go straight to skatepark, half of them riding bikes with training wheels and big wheels and other half sliding down ramps like a slide at playground. You go across skatepark heading towards a quarterpipe and attempt to ice pick it and you narrowly miss one of little ones. The freighted lad or lassie runs off to mommy or daddy who is sitting on picnic table reading a magazine, not paying attention to kids, gets up and comes strutting like a rutting buck and proceeds to rip you a new one. After hearing a bunch of colorful words that would make a sailor blush, you exclaim that you are sorry and explain that it is a skatepark designed for skateboarding, BMX bikes and blading. The parent says it doesn't matter, my kid or kids can go wherever they like in this park. They may even demand that their kids can use skatepark for themselves and you can have bank in corner to ride. It is probably not hard to envision for most riders that use local public skatepark on a regular basis.
