It seemed fitting that this link would pop up on FB this morning (thanks Kean!). With the Toronto BMX Jam officially underway today, this is a reminder of how amazing the venue once was. From the worlds top pros to some of the best courses ever made, I think it’s fair to say that Metro Jam was once even bigger than what Simple Session is to BMX today.

Although this vid might seem long compared to most of today’s web edits, take 20 minutes out of your social media time and have a watch. You’ll notice a ton of different riders being creative in every aspect of the course, riding whatever and however they prefer to ride. You won’t see any circus monkeys, you’ll see a 14 year old Garrett Reynolds already killing it, you’ll see street guys, park guys, trail guys and most importantly you’ll see everyone having a damn good time. The amount of Canadian BMXers who made it out to this event from across the country amazed me every year, and it the event never disappointed. Canada’s BMX community needs a Canadian Simple Session, Texas Toast or old style Metro Jam!

Taylor Elvy coming through with this dope edit of Andy Roode shredding Vancouver and surroundings during warmer times. As usual, Andy’s killin it in the streets. Hopefully this weather is only a couple months away for the rest of Canada. Thanks for hooking this up homies!

At the beginning of January, Dan Irwin, Mike Carroll and myself decided to get out of the shit storm that is a Canadian winter and head for a ten day road trip through Cali. It’s always been a dream on mine to be able to go to there and it couldn’t of been any better. From sleeping in the ghetto, to staying in BMX sanctuary’s out in the mountains the trip had it all. I brought along four disposables with me but I lost one in Portland and the other had to be sent away. The photo’s below are from one Black and white disposable and a colo disposable from Sacramento to Santa Cruz. We got off to a great start for 2014 and now I just want to get back back out there.

Chase Davidson had a busy 2013. Upon graduating, he drove/moved from Southern Ontario to just outside Vancouver BC, which apparently still wasn’t a big enough year for Chase as he then made the decision to move to Japan and work at the British Hills ski resort. Up until 2013 I knew Chase could kill it on a bike, what I didn’t know was how much he could kill it behind a lens. Chase has taken countless amazing pictures in the past couple years and he has graciously chosen some of his favorites to be featured on our site. Along with a short write up as to why each photo means so much to Chase, read on to see some amazing photos which will surely brighten your day.

“This is the first photo I ever had published in a magazine (DIG BMX Magazine March/April ’12 issue 87) and also the first time I’ve travelled by plane to stay with Detroit homies Cory Wiergowski and Nick Bullen at the scum house in Peoria, Arizona for three weeks. This photo is of Cory’s bike chillen in one of the many ditches we rode throughout my stay.”
