The Don himself, Jason Enns, talks about how his obsession with BMX first began as just a young boy, and his attempt to jump over his first set of doubles in Winnipeg, MB. We also get a small glimpse of Jason’s childhood interest in ninjas.
Here’s a little treat from the East, Call It What You Want – Fall/Winter 2013 Halifax edit.
Just one day after the contest Ride BMX brings you this video, filmed and edited by Justin Soule, of the 2014 Toronto BMX Jam highlights. Great to see lots of great local talent in the finals, with some American names mixed in there too. If I was a betting man, I would have wagered that Drew Bezanson would once again be crowned the winner, and I would have been right. Check out a list of the top 20 finalists after the link.
Vancouver’s contingent of (mostly) under 20 year old shredders come through with this great 7 minute mixtape. Riding from Adam Piatek, Owen Dawson, Pawel Podgorny, and a bunch more. Filming with cameras that are older than they’ve been riding, a nice blend of (mostly) street lines and park footage, a good soundtrack, and some creative editing. The last couple clips had me rewinding to catch it again. The kids are alright
Jacob Manning sent over this video of Newfoundland’s hungriest rail and ledge riders grinding their winter away at the Turndown park. Check it out.
It seemed fitting that this link would pop up on FB this morning (thanks Kean!). With the Toronto BMX Jam officially underway today, this is a reminder of how amazing the venue once was. From the worlds top pros to some of the best courses ever made, I think it’s fair to say that Metro Jam was once even bigger than what Simple Session is to BMX today.
Although this vid might seem long compared to most of today’s web edits, take 20 minutes out of your social media time and have a watch. You’ll notice a ton of different riders being creative in every aspect of the course, riding whatever and however they prefer to ride. You won’t see any circus monkeys, you’ll see a 14 year old Garrett Reynolds already killing it, you’ll see street guys, park guys, trail guys and most importantly you’ll see everyone having a damn good time. The amount of Canadian BMXers who made it out to this event from across the country amazed me every year, and it the event never disappointed. Canada’s BMX community needs a Canadian Simple Session, Texas Toast or old style Metro Jam!
Taylor Elvy coming through with this dope edit of Andy Roode shredding Vancouver and surroundings during warmer times. As usual, Andy’s killin it in the streets. Hopefully this weather is only a couple months away for the rest of Canada. Thanks for hooking this up homies!
Carl Arnett lets his foot fly at Hastings. This guy has some wild lines at this park. Rumor has it that he actually manualed around the entire skatepark whilst eating a Treatza Pizza.
Just a quick reminder that there are two rad events happening this weekend to make this winter home stretch a bit less depressing. Click here for all the details for BMX Gallery’s Battle of Alberta and here for Toronto’s BMX Jam.
