We just put up sticker packs in the online store. You get 5 stickers (1 – 2.5″ Coast to Coast Anchor logo, 1 – 3″ Embassy National League logo, 3 – 1.5″ Embassy National Logo) for the low price of $0.61. The only reason their is a price attached to them is to cover the cost of a stamp when sending within Canada. Big thanks to Mike Samson at Twisted Sticker for all of his help.

Well here’s an interesting visual piece for you. Photographer (and independent publisher of Mountains) Brooks Reynolds directed this wildly lit video featuring BMX riding from Lee Dennis, Brad Hill, Josh Lichti and a whole lot of fireworks. I don’t know really know too much more about it other than that it’s a fun video to watch.

Last weekend most of us who are involved with this site were busy with the Expocycle Tradeshow in Toronto, Canada’s bicycle industry tradeshow for brands, distributors, and shops. The tall drink of water that is Mike Fiz was on hand, along with United‘s Ian Morris and they made quick to rectify their differences in height. Check back soon for a photo feature from Mike capturing the madness that was last weekend.

If you are near the Ottawa area this weekend be sure to check out the Brose Farm Night Jam in Golden Lake, Ontario. It sounds like there’s been a lot more built since their last event, and they are hoping for a bigger and better party than last time. Check out more details after the jump and the Facebook event here.

If you are in Southern Ontario this weekend make sure you make it out to the Nelson Park Jam going on in Burlington, ON. Mike Samson and his crew have been working hard to get the dirt jumps up and running (big lines all the way to a baby line, so there’s something for everyone to jump), bringing in some ramps, a box jump, and a dedicated flatland area. There’s a huge list of sponsors for the event, so there should be something for just about everyone out there having fun at all skill levels, and we’ll even have some Embassy shirts and DVDs to toss in to the mix. Don’t miss out on this event. More details can be found here.

This is a bit of an oldie by now, but the other day Miami Mike brought up this Toronto mixtape he made in 2009 filled with Toronto locals that I had never seen. Fast editing, funny clips, and lots of riding from a big cast of Toronto area riders including Nick Varney, Craig Robinson, Quags, Leland Nightingale, Patrick Krzyzanowski, Dave Waddell, Darah Quesier, Spencer Bryant-Longo and more. Keep your fingers crossed and we might see another treat from Mike soon.

I might be a little bit biased because he is my twin brother, today is his birthday, and he’s wearing one of our Coast to Coast t shirts in this photo, but just this past weekend Prasheel Gopal placed 1st in the Expert category of the King of Southsea flatland contest in England, and then went on to place 4th in his pro contest debut. He was the only Canadian in attendance at the UK contest, which is now in its third year. Here he is enjoying his win with a drink out of his trophy. Congrats.
