Mark Karau comes through with a beautiful photo of Mike Carol during a short street session right before Christmas in Victoria. It’s not snowing everywhere.
Union Press is a collaborative project that has been in the works for the last few months between Brad Hill from BMXFU and my ongoing zine series Yo Sick. I am glad to finally say that the first issue is complete, back from the printers, and ready to see the light of day. Our aim with this publication was to make a tangible extension of our interests with photos, writing and illustrations, and to highlight some interesting characters in Canadian BMX that we have the pleasure of knowing. You can expect a two page broadsheet printed on newsprint, with fold out posters from OSS and Macneil. Inside you will find work from Brad Hill, myself and a list of contributors that includes Mike Cardin, Riley McMaster, Eric Marshall, and Nashville’s Andrew White
You can find copies of it in the new year at bike shops across Canada that deal with Ten Pack Distribution. If you don’t have a local bike shop we will have it in online stores soon for the price of shipping. You can check out some more photos of the pages after the jump and hopefully get a copy in your hands soon.

Sam Lowe over grind in Vancouver. This was the first time anyone did an over-grind on this set up. This was on the cover of one of the Red issues.

Here is a quick update with some scrap footage of what we’ve been up to in Barcelona.
As we previously said, we are all on a trip in Barcelona right now. The crew consists of Jeremy Deme, Dillon LLoyd, Greg Flag, Taylor Elvy, Sean Cooke, Luke Santucci, Ryan Hiebert, Albert Krolikowski, Jeff Evans, Cory Beal, and myself (Prashant Gopal). There are some projects we are working on that we will announce in the near future, but for now here are some photos of the trip so far. Click below to check them out.
Cory Beal filmed and edited by Luke Santucci. Additional filming by Taylor Elvy.
We posted about a trip to Barcelona that several riders from Ottawa and Sudbury made back in August, but Chris Chitaroni let me know what’s going on with all that footage he collected.
I’ve had a couple of people ask me what happened to the Barcelona footage, and after sifting through and organizing the nearly 100 gb of footage that was shot on the trip I’ve finally started editing it. It will be included in the ‘Landozine X’ DVD pack scheduled to be released sometime in February to commemorate ten years of Landozine videos. Here is the the trailer. It’s 2 minutes long, and I didn’t really even use any of the best clips. The full video is going to be gnarly.
