Rayden Wickop put together this video of Wade Lajlar with some footage they shot a couple years back. Spliced with riding, there’s a bunch of clips that highlight Wade’s professional life. It’s always cool seeing people’s passions beyond just bike riding.
Mark Stanway is probably the fastest progressing park rider in the Edmonton area right now. For better or for worse, he has that young, fearless, “just gonna send it” attitude. I’ll give you an example: That launch ramp / fly-out backflip at 0:24 was done on a hi-tensile steel rental bike from the park. Given how hard Mark is on bikes, he had to pay an additional $10 to rent it. As expected, the bike made some pretty awful noises as he was attempting the flip. The bars were continuously slipping and his feet kept blowing off the non-grippy pedals. Nonetheless, he kept going for it until the bike couldn’t take much more. Mark will have some footage in the upcoming Weird & Revered DVD, but until then, peep this short video comprised of phone clips at House of Wheels skatepark. It will give a little taste of what Mark is all about.
Here’s a quick minute of fresh Chris Silva footage for MacNeil BMX. As you can come to expect from Chris, there are some unique spots and set-ups in here. Case in point: See thumbnail image.

Saskatchewan’s most technical freecoaster wizard, Braden Beck just dropped this new video for MacNeil Bikes. Some of the combos in here will leave you scratching your head. Like that line at 1:26…. How did he manage to keep speed all the way to the end of the ledge after all those links? Incredible. Don’t miss out on this one.
