Vans has done a lot of collaborations with classic bands. But if there's one band that was missing, it's The Beatles. The theme of the shoes is based on the Yellow Submarine album and film and the artwork comes back in the shoe designs. The shoe models that were picked were the Sk8-Hi Reissue, Slip-On, Era, and Authentic, all classic kicks. The Sk8-Hi features artwork on each quarter panel featuring the Fab Four from the movie. The Classic Slip-On presents a fun take on the Sea of Monsters by showcasing a underwater scene across each

Racing's back on the cover of the March issue of BMX Plus! magazine and it's Jeremy Rommel who gets it. Some people out there make BMX racing look good and Rommel's one of them. In this issue the BMX Plus! Riders of the year are announced. They gave away big prices to the winners years ago (cars, motorcycles) but I'm afraid it has changed as it's not such a big deal anymore. Giving away a car would change that. A bunch of bikes get tested and inspected. Dennis Enarson's Haro SD, Corey Martinez' United receive a bike check and the test crew got to work with a Premium Inception and an MCS Tracer Pro complete bike. The biggest race in BMX is the USA BMX Grand Nationals (formerly the ABA grands) and BMX Plus! made it over to Oklahoma to witness the biggest pro section on a BMX track ever. Jake Ortiz is on the Northwest and building better edits. Of course the regulars are back for this issue so go to the newsstands today to find yourself a copy. $4.99 or lunch today?

The first issue of 2014 has Shawn McIntosh grind a spot that noone has grinded before. That rail saw plenty of action but then the yellow poles were installed. But it's hard to stop the street dudes. Just add more speed, some wax and a photographer and riders will go where noone has gone before. Congrats on the cover. But of course there's more. Here's the list:
