Like a fine wine or an aged Whiskey, Canada has had it’s hidden gems of riders, cities and spots for years and Calgary is one of them. “Calgary, Alberta is a world class city for street spots and skateparks. The rest of the world just doesn’t know it yet.”

Our homies on bigger wheels just finished their full Partymaster tour video and it does not disappoint. A moded bus, a band, a bunch of shredders and stops at multiple Canadian cities with the intent of getting the riding community (of any wheel size) together is something we can truly appreciate. Not enough of that out there these days! The infamous Kid Savlem makes an appearance in the Montreal leg of the trip

There’s a few things you can count on every winter in Canada; the geese to fly south, snow and cold ass weather (or rain in Vancouver), hockey to be a major pass time for most Canadians and also for Joel Fortin to drop some serious heat from what he’s been filming up til winter. This edit is no exception, filmed over the course or 2017 in Toronto, Montreal, Buffalo and Barrie. Joel can slay a rail and I couldn’t imagine that last clip being any more perfect.

With Joyride 150’s third street invitational going down this upcoming weekend, what better time to plug the video we made from the very first invitational in 2016 which NE hosted with Joyride. Filmed by Joel Fortin, Mason Gray, Chris Cadot and Jeremy Deme, this event has been sick since day one, get out there this weekend!

Vancouver summer vibes all in this, take me back! Featuring a slew of the younger Vancouver/Van island talent: Mitch Radcliffe, Kyle White, Shelby Hare, Nathan Hines, Keenen Raymond, Rayden Wickop, Chay Nelson, Drew Morton, Kent Fuller, Layne Vilness, Regan Miller, Ky Brisebois, James Dean, Trent Krog, and Lynden Chartrand.

Greg Jean has been killing it out of Quebec city for some time now, over the past couple summer’s he’s been making the trip to Montreal to link up with Vlad Poloukhine and fire shit out. Here’s exactly that from a few of these sessions in MTL and QC. Look forward to more from Greg Jean and Vlad P next summer!

Fuck it, we back… but we need your help. We ideally need one person per province or region to help us manage edits, photos or anything coming out of your area, which we can then grace on NE. We need people with bikes, ideas, cameras, whatever it may be to send whatever you’re cooking up our way. If you are one of these people, please hit us up on here or better yet by email (Northernembassy@gmail.com).

There’s way to much good content coming out of Canada these days that never makes it off facebook shares. We back baby!

This video brought us back from the dead, Canadian BMX (in Ontario) at it’s finest. Shoutout to Landon Barnes for this masterpiece.

It’s with heavy hearts that we announce today the end of an era, our last post at Northern Embassy. It’s hard to believe we’ve already existed for more than 6 years now, Northern Embassy was created to showcase Canadian BMX talent and give scenes a place to share their work.

In our hey day, we were banging out original content every couple of weeks. with less contributors now that has changed. We have believed in doing things right or not doing it at all since day 1, which is why it’s time for us to call it a day.

At the time which NE was created, we felt no other media outlets were truly giving Canadian BMX the proper attention it deserves. Which was the main reason for it’s creation to begin with. Today we feel that DIG and Ride have really stepped up their Canadian coverage over the last couple of years.

Throughout the hundreds of edits (215 videos on our Vimeo channel https://vimeo.com/user5177092/videos) , interviews, colabs, contests, clothing runs and even a trip to Barcelona, it has truly been a wonderful ride. BMX in Canada is at an all time high with more riders than ever, more spots than ever. Please expand your horizons beyond instagram, support your scene and continue to make Canadian BMX the best anywhere.
A huge thanks to Prashant Gopal, Aaron Gates, Zach Rampen, and Cory Beal who truly made this place happen from day one.  As well as anyone else who ever contributed to the site, anyone who helped us with any contest,or  anyone who let us film them or interview them over the years. A big thanks to our sponsors for truly believing that we had nothing but the best intentions from day one. Most importantly thanks to Canadian BMX for being the best and letting us show that for years.
