God dam (see what I did there?), Amos Franke and Adam Piatek worked there way to what is possibly the most scenic dam in British Columbia, and thankfully our very own Zach Rampen was there to catch it all for his camera. Hopefully this jump starts your weekend plans to go on an adventure.
Orlando is back with another short edit for his proverbial bike company The Make. Short and sweet is how you can describe it, and nowhere else will you see a blend of UK riders like Tommy Curtain, Chicken, and Marv alongside west coast Canadians such as Jeff Evans, Brad Hill, Andrew Schubert, and Jordan Hango. Oh, and not to mention Rick Flair.
I met Stephane Sum the other day, and he was mentioning how just earlier in the evening he finished filming for this video. He had a bunch of questions for me about our Hidden Gems contest and said he was going to jump straight in to filming for that now that he accomplished all the things he wanted for this edit. Check out his hard work in this video with some serious kink rail action. Looking forward to what Stephane has next.
We’ve had a lot of people contact us already telling us they are filming for our Hidden Gems contest, and Ricky Kehoe was one of them. He also sent us this video of himself from last summer which left us scratching our heads wondering why we hadn’t seen or posted it before. It’s a great example of a video with it’s own authentic style and creativity, which is what we like to see. Using a Joy Division track didn’t hurt either. We’re looking forward to what Ricky films this year for our contest too, and if you haven’t already, go check out all the rules and info for our Hidden Gems contest, which is open until September 23rd, and you and your filmer/editor could win some amazing prizes.
What’s for dinner? Leftovers. But the good kind. When Kyle Lafleur isn’t going hard in the Mac, you can probably assume he’s out riding somewhere in and around the Sudbury, ON region. He has amassed a big collection of leftover footage of himself from as far back as 2011 until today, put it to a Lil’ Wayne song, and uploaded it for the world to see. Check it out.
Brayden Rastad sent over this video he edited with footage of Nathan Pelletier riding Vancouver parks, and some street jibs from this spring/summer. Some good lines and well rounded riding from Nathan. Looking forward to seeing more from him in the future.
We just dropped some new hats in our online store that pay tribute to our favourite brew; Old Style Pilsner. A favourite of Terry and Deaner, Old Style Pilsner was originally brewed in 1926 in Lethbridge, AB, then quickly spread to the rest of Western Canada. Today you can find it in various provinces across the country.
Our new 5 panel hat is available in olive green or black, and features 100% cotton construction with an adjustable nylon strap on the rear with a clip. Embroidered in Toronto. Each colour is limited to only 25 piece. Check out some more photos of them below, then head over to the store to buy one before they are gone.
Chris Silva says he’s not getting any younger (he just entered level 3) and hates sitting on old footage, so he decided to upload his section from the latest ICC DVD that premiered just last month. This part is almost entirely full of cell phone footage, and look for plenty of tricks out of full pipes that you wouldn’t expect. You can go back and read out interview with him about this DVD here and pick up a copy of it on the ICC webstore for just $3.50.
Newfoundland’s Ryan and Corey Antle coming in hot with this split brother edit. Clips from various Newf spots and skateparks. Last line was extra spicy.
