The amount of Canadian riders with signature parts today is slim to none. Sam Lowe is one of the few Canadian shredders who has been fortunate enough to have been given a signature bar from Primo, and recently signature grips from We the People (and by fortunate enough we mean he has been slaying rails and putting in work for more than long enough to have well deserved it). We hit up Sam about the process behind signature parts and also to get some insight as to why his signature parts are the way they are. Read on.

John Alden is a shredder and this Ten Pack/BMX Gallery spring edit is proof. Filmed by a bunch of rad dudes, Austin Odegnal, Mike Boag and Matt Walser, John is wearing a rad hat throughout most of the edit and he does a downside handplant on a quarter/extension setup which is completely ridiculous. Watch this if you haven’t already!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen footage of Eli Taylor that hasn’t been amazing. The dude kills it. This was filmed at Richmond Green park in about an hour, filmed and edited by Justin Browne.

The-Rise is holding a BMX/MTB street Jam in Montreal Saturday June 9. If your in the area hit this up, meet up spot is the Wallride spot at the Big-O around noon. Spring is in the air, hopefully we’ll be posting up a bunch more of these type of events over the next few months!

If you haven’t seen our Embajada En Barcelona DVD yet you are missing out. Get a copy from your local shop or here. Above is a quick clip of Dillon Lloyd, with a little motivating from the boys, putting on a small demo for some Barcelona locals. Those tranny’s look way better in video than they felt. Also if you haven’t seen the trailer for our DVD yet peep it below.

Last week we announced our Etnies/Timebomb 5 clip contest and we received quite a few emails/questions in regards to the contest, in terms of intro/ music or no music/ filmed in one day or multiple days, extra non riding clips in the edit and so forth. We want the contest to not be restrictive so that you can be more creative, the only thing that is a MUST is 5 riding clips, everything else is completely up to you. Videos will be judged on creativity, originality, riding, spots, filming and editing. The deadline is May 31st so start getting ideas together and get shreddin to win a dope prize pack courtesy of ETNIES/timebomb.

Scott Berwick has been a part of the Chateauguay,QC bmx/party scene for a long ass while (if anyone has ever seen SNUTS he filmed a bunch of Corey Dewey’s part). Scott recently held a photo project where he asked friends to take a picture at exactly 6:30 pm (EST) on Thursday May the 3rd. Scott created the event on facebook 5 days before and he received over 150 photos from people all over. Check it out here and scroll to the right at the bottom of the page to see all the photos he received. Really cool concept and results.

“Over the past 10 years we have been pleasured with such a spot where you can get away with almost anything. The seed was planted and a decade later the trails were fully bloomed. Nobody likes taking their own trails down. Thanks to everyone who made the trek over to be apart of what were once some of the best trails in Canada.”
