Finally James Dean shows us what he’s been working on in international waters. Mike Carroll blasts some QP’s and roof drops around Victoria and Vancouver, like the good ol’ country boy that he is. And to pull it all together, some exuberant lifestyle clips showing his Praty boy image.
Luke Santucci’s been cooking this up for some time now and I honestly can’t wait to see it. GLEAMIN’s Quit Dreamin DVD droppin in 2014.
Chase Davidson had a busy 2013. Upon graduating, he drove/moved from Southern Ontario to just outside Vancouver BC, which apparently still wasn’t a big enough year for Chase as he then made the decision to move to Japan and work at the British Hills ski resort. Up until 2013 I knew Chase could kill it on a bike, what I didn’t know was how much he could kill it behind a lens. Chase has taken countless amazing pictures in the past couple years and he has graciously chosen some of his favorites to be featured on our site. Along with a short write up as to why each photo means so much to Chase, read on to see some amazing photos which will surely brighten your day.
“This is the first photo I ever had published in a magazine (DIG BMX Magazine March/April ’12 issue 87) and also the first time I’ve travelled by plane to stay with Detroit homies Cory Wiergowski and Nick Bullen at the scum house in Peoria, Arizona for three weeks. This photo is of Cory’s bike chillen in one of the many ditches we rode throughout my stay.”

Winter is long and shitty and Canada needs more events like this to get us through! The boys at BMX Gallery 4130 are putting on an amazing Albertan weekend of riding March 1st and 2nd. Day one featuring Three Hills Genesis Park and day two featuring Sylvan Lake Incline Industries Park. If you’re anywhere near Calgary, or just rad enough to make a trip out to this, you know it will be an awesome time. Keep posted on updates/news on the event via the BMX Gallery site.
Ten years ago today, the Okanagan scene lost one of its prominent figures. Chris Cayford was the BMX guy at the local bike shop and was well known for putting on the Winfield bowl jams. He rode everything, including flatland, and brought the Whitehorse tradition of shoveling skateparks in the winter time with him to Kelowna.
For years, the BK crew (Mat Ridgeway, Matt Desson etc.) continued putting on the Winfield bowl jams in Chris’ memory. The jam was always held in March and was usually the first jam of the year in BC. The jams had some memorable moments, including Brett Craig (RIP) driving from Saskatchewan to ride the jam only to have to turn around right afterwards and drive 20+ hours home, and Dom Mach doing this crazy over double peg out of the bowl. The jam hasn’t happened for a few years, but there are talks of a ten year jam happening this year.
For all of us who knew Chris, he’s remembered fondly.
Over the past couple of years Calgary’s Tados Eyob has been shredding harder and harder. This is proof, Tadros Eyob welcome to the BMX Gallery Team. Congrats man! Well Deserved.
In other rad BMX Gallery news stay tuned for more news on the Battle of Alberta coming soon.
Loren Lyftogt busts flairs on the regular at the woodyard. This is the first I’ve seen him play with on concrete and its at Hastings of all places. There’s something wrong with the Dutch.
Kyle “Cheech” Hirschkorn knocks a few wobbly pops back with Mat Ridgeway, Rasmus Gravesen and Slade Scherer. The guys link up a few lines around Confederation Park and make the best of a sunny afternoon. Kyle is recovering from a recent surgery, with good vibes like these, I’m sure he will be back behind bars soon enough. What better way to keep up with the buds than, dusting off the camera and grabbing a few clips.
