Watch Drew Bezanson and Steve Moxley compete on Canadian BMX Trivia from Metro Jams and Chase Magazine, to John Heaton and Alliance Bike Co. Solid set of questions that will make you feel slightly dated if you can answer most of them.

Fans of Riley McMaster‘s work should be familiar by now of his zine series, No Bummers. He just released the third and final instalment entitled The Ender of The Bender, in a beautiful wooden cover with a hand sewn leather spine and full bleed colour pages. The quality and care that went in to this project elevates this from merely a zine to a collectors piece. The content is focused on photographs from a cross country bike ride followed by a 3 week van trip across the southern United States. Riley explains it best:

NO BUMMERS 3: The Ender of the Bender. The final chapter in the series that has travelled America back and forth over and over. Spanning over 3 months the content reaches the unexpected events and sights that are experienced by a veteran America enthusiast. Riding a bike from one of side of the continent just to hop in a camper van and take an absurdly extended route back home. Tales of Doing The Most//Touririzing//Freedom//Living in a van down by the river//way more cool stuff.

Check out a preview here and grab one of only 50 copies, or get the full trilogy pack, at christianhomeowner.com before they are all gone.

I won’t bore you with who did what, who qualified where, or any of those details. I barely know them myself. All I know is that Drew Bezanson did some of the most unbelievable wallrides and I met Darryl Nau. Check above for Drew’s barspin to wallride to whip out in the best trick contest and click below for a big ninja drop, and Darryl Nau posing for a photo with me and an old Blacken t-shirt. See you all at next year’s contest.

This is the third and final chapter of the Lost Tapes (of 2008) series. If you’ve seen the last two then I shouldn’t have to explain the premise again, but this one features not only the owner of all these tapes, Shawn Henderson aka Ice Cold, but a whole bunch of friends including Matt Desson, Carl Arnett, Andy Roode, Jordan Hango, Jake Honesto, Paul Buchanan(!), and a bunch more. This one was a real treat to watch, and for extra measure click below for a photo of Shawn throwing a one footed table on UBC campus from 2010.
