Chris Silva never disappoints, lots of rad stuff in this new edit for Animal. A true Canadian legend and he’s not slowing down.
One of Vancouver’s most exciting riders is finally back with a new edit. Except for some standalone flip flyouts and air bag clips, I believe this is his first video since this gem.. Definitely have a look at The Kid giving it his all.
Apparently S&M Bikes were painting a batch of their frames, and by accident a BTM frame was given the camo paint job seen on a limited batch of Credence frames. S&M offered this to any of their usual buyers, and Edmonton’s Transition BMX scooped it up. Their plan was to auction this one-of-a-kind frame off on Ebay to support Wounded Warriors Canada, a non-profit organization that helps Canadian Forces members who have been wounded or injured in their service to Canada.
The auction is available to anyone, and starts with an opening bid of just $1. Starting today (Monday, September 1st), it will be up for 7 days, so if you want this unique 20.75″ BTM frame to be yours, and to support a great charity, you can place a bid. You can find all the auction info here, and check out some more photos of the frame below.
Dave Butler sent over this iphone video, featuring all of your favorite Vancouver area riders. There’s some pretty good Hastings action in here, and there’s a can can x-up on street.
Camilo wasted no time putting together this MTL Jam that went down on Saturday. Lots of good stuff in this (with stand out clips from Dillon Lloyd, Justin Hughes, Ryan Eles, Joel Fortin, Brad Blouin, Keven Rousseau and more), check it.
This is so sick. Joel Fortin made the trip out to NYC to shred with some of the Long island dudes and this is the result.
In a follow up to our post from last Thursday with Dave Osato’s 1995 Props interview, Matt Sinclair reminded us of this Osato part in BMX-MEN that came out the following year (and Least Most uploaded 4 years ago). This part is filled with so many amazing tricks: 540 tailtap decade at 2:06, icepick to decade at 2:40, over tooth x-up 360 half barspin (?) at 2:50, and pretty much the last half minute are all some of the most technically advanced tricks of the time, and some would argue are still to this day. Please give this one a watch, and maybe go ride a mini ramp afterwards.
Andrew Lazaruk in California – More BMX Videos
Andrew Lazaruk comes through with this video of his classic style and tricks in the land of permanent sun.
Spotted this classic interview from 1995 with an 18 year old Dave Osato show up on the Props Youtube page and knew it was an immediate post. Dave talks about being a rookie pro, the difficulty with traveling to contests as a Canadian, and decisions with making a jump from small to big sponsors, all while demonstrating some of the most technical mini ramp riding that BMX has ever seen (that Canadian nose pick to barspin at 3:21!). Check out this interview from nearly 20 years ago with one the Canadian greats whose impact and influence is still felt to this day in BMX.
