COURAGE ADAMS DEFEATS THE LYON 25 STAIR - BEHIND THE SCENES - VANS 

I love the fact that his parents had the foresight to name him Courage

Not only is this a gnarly drop, it's 22ft long. The sound of that impact!

I’d like to shake the hand of the person that built those wheels. Well done!

The bar has been raised. Good luck to those who follow. So epic.

Fucking insane. Still remember first seeing Ali on Flip attempt an Ollie. Then Jaws lands it years later. Now this ? Holy shit man. Not enough props can be given. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🤘🏻

I’m a skater but Watchin aurilien Ali n jaws hit that set it’s insane…can only imagine on a bike…that landing is like an earthquake…this dudes a beast🍻🖖🔥

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the most casual whopper ever at 02:00... Nice.

I can feel the heart racing @0:23 I used to ride and I can remember rolling up to giants then rolling away with excuses and eventually regret. I can't ride any more so I'll live vicariously through these guys.

3 times! He almost got it first try, too! I can’t imagine what was going through his head. The first one was terrifying and the second was even more so hence why he didn’t pedal as much and cased. Thousand other things could have gone wrong but he knew he didn’t want to do that more times than needed lol. Incredible!!!

Legendary wrists! Beast mode attained!

For those wondering: All the guy on the balcony at 3:48 had to say was "Please close the gate after you". He either had no idea what went down or he is just used to people trying gnarly shit down the Lyon 25.

The commitment is insane

it's crazy how looking at those stairs from ground level, while intimidating, doesn't seem as frightening as its legend makes it out to be. but when you look at that shit from above and Courage's vantage point... _terrifying_

Now that is some sturdy wrist stuff

I can't believe how far the sport has come since I was riding 20 years ago. Even the random tailwhip bunny hop is light years ahead of anything we were doing.

Congratulations Mr Adams that impact alone was massive let alone the gap wow

Those who have never jumped anything on the 20” wheel bike simply have no grasp on what it means when a rider does something like this. Every possible aspect of gravity is against you, terror is inside your head and YOU CAN DIE. The contradictory nature of the harmlessness of the bike is not reflective of what such a feat means.

You Sir have humongous balls of steel!!!……seriously impressed. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

One of the greatest riders

I hurt my back watching this. Major hats off to you, sir!!

Im so stoked someone else has finally landed the lyon 25! Jaws, and you Courage!! And Fabio!! Massive props man!!!

How do the rims not bend? That's insane. I got hurt just watching this. You get up like it's nothing. I got hurt on the couch watching. Nice job man!!

He's built different straight💯🔥🔥🔥🔥

History was written in the BMX world on that day! Max respect!

That was absolutely insane bro! Big props for big drops.

Beast 💪🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥 Legendary!

Best thing of this was the guy filming down at the landing, his breathing, he was equally committed and exited xD

Finally get the second angle 😍😍

Dude that shit looked so violent. AAAAAAALLLLL the respect.

Courage, you have set the bar literally high af! Yessssss man!

That deserves 💯likes... Plus plus Plus!

I wanna see his wheels after landing that trick. Mine would of folded, who build his wheel? What brands are his Rims spokes and hubs?

That second attempt landing on the bottom step. Fair play, some balls 🤙

That was absolutely amazing! Congrats bro!

This video will never get old.

INCREDIBLE!!!

I've jumped drop offs bigger than that on a dirt bike and it's sketcky as hell. I can't even comprehend doing that on a bicycle. He is straight up, bad ass.

Can't believe his rim & tyre held up to that insane, balls of steel💪

Courage by name, courage by nature.....

This should have 10 million views.

This dude is absolutely nuts, big props, this is crazy, el toro used to be the set to hit and legends were the only ones really landing crazy shit off it, but this is something no one will probably ever beat

much respect to you..wow..cheers

This clip is still Beast Mode a year later! 😮

This is absolute madness!!!! F*CK YEAH 🤯

Gotta admire the strength of the bike too. Even the top of the line wheels back in the 80/90s wouldn't survive that impact

I don't think people grasp just how insane and how massive those stairs really are or the speed needed to clear them all. I give credit to any man with the balls to try it nvm ACTUALLY land a sick trick while doing it. Friggin beast man👊 Edit: I do wish however you'd wear a helmet especially after seeing you hit your head on 2nd attempt. Repeated concussions (or worse) aren't good man and will progress into other things(CTE) as they years go on. I know from personal experience.

Amazing!!! That was totally amazing!!!

He's great he never give up well done and keep it up

As someone with three bulging discs, this made me curl my toes and wince

If only bmx wherent so expensive but i love bmx so i will still keep on dreaming 🇵🇭👌👍❤️

These drops are insane the impact is very strong on these sets. Trying a trick off these stairs you gotta commit or say goodbye to your legs.

that was nuts. epic

2:00 just a casual, warmup flat whip. Doesn't even care if anyone is filming. this guy is a beast

It would be super duper dope to see someone edit all the successful landings of the Lyon 25 into a cool short video.

How the hell does he still have wrists after this damn

Courage you are the best👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Insane, beast! 🙌🏽🙌🏽👊🏽

Damn, awesome job. Congrats.

Skill and bravery. What a legend.

what a machine. had my palms sweating

Damn that rear rim just took some abuse!!! I could feel that in my wrist landing that!!! Excellent work!

Amazing

That’s incredible!

Damn, that's wild.

amazing bike control!

That is crazy!!! Sick!!

That last wall ride though, good LORD!!

Mad Props!

Seen Fabio drop same steps on full suss. Bar spin on BMX , quality !!

Now we have jumps with a skateboard, freeride MTB and with a BMX 🔥🔝🔥🔝🔥🔝🔥

Super sick man!

This line has been hit by Parkour freerunner, micro scooter, skate boarder. The running front-flip by the Parkour freerunner was pretty insane especially on the first couple of attempts.

The landing was brutal 👀👌🏼

Legend🔥

Thats massive. Congrats man. 🤙

Omg🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥♥️♥️♥️ it would be the homie named courage to do it 🤯

I skate I don’t know anything about BMX but how is he not bending his rims or having his tires blow out... that’s amazing

Insane!

The impact

He lives up to his name.

Bravo!

Just watching this my knees hurt for him

wow !!! truc de fou !!!

That's so gnarly

Can we not forget el toro an all thoes that accomplished so much threw the decades only for the bar to be set just this much higher props for being one of the few that will ever own this spot !

Absolutely wild!

Balls of steel

Rad!!!!! Hope his bike is still alive!!! Congrats!!!!

I had a friend named Robbie 30 years ago who was a PSYCHOPATH on a bike and would try anything like this ( he never did more than 10 stairs if I remember) and do it until he made it or broke his bike. His bike always gave up before he did. The kind of guys who have whatever it is that makes them this fearless is amazing to witness. More than once I legit thought he killed himself crashing, but no matter what he always got up like he was freaking made of steel and tried again. It's always bad ass seeing them make it, but in the back of your mind you know the next spot or jump is going to be every gnarlier.

God dam, lot of trust in those frame welds. Insane

And this is why courage is my fav rider that was crazy is that bigger than El Toro

Back in the 80s there was some bmx front suspension bikes wonder if anyone brings it back

Insane

Hands of steel

Woaw GG man !

Holy fuck!!!! Hell of an impact!!

His name is courage adams. Courage because he has it and Adam , the first human on earth; also the first to BAR this 25 stair !! Bravo!! This was unbelievable!! I’m such a wimp I cannot jump a 10 stair. Ahahahha

What a legend! 👍

What a banger, sick 🤙

Omg 😱 . The best biker street💥
