When you see footage of Drew Bezanson riding it’s usually at Joyride 150 or winning a contest in some far part of the world. This ‘casual’ mini ramp edit of him riding with Hucker and Daniel Sandoval at the Vans skatepark in California is obviously mellower than the videos that he’s famous for, but still a very cool look at what I can presume is a regular session for these guys. They nonchalantly ride a humungous sub box and Drew starts firing stuff out over that rail as if its actually meant for it. Get in to it.

Brandon Webster is damn good. This edit was filmed within a few hours, in typical effortless Brandon fashion. This is daily Brandon riding and is a sign of what’s to come from him. Looking forward to seeing alot more from this kid.

Some of Canada’s finest riders right now: Dillon Lloyd, Brandon Webster, Drew Bezanson, Mike Gray and Ben Kavanagh are featured in this Nocturnal V2 Joyride edit by Justen Soule.

Carl Arnett along with Jordan Hango and Dave Scott round out yet another amazing 5 clip at the Tsawwassen skatepark. This park is a jibbers dream and a great place to mess around on the odd nice day while everyone is still shaking off their winter rust.

Here is Jordan Hickey’s section from The Stranded Video that came out late last year from Newfoundland and premiered at Turndown. This section is pretty amazing and filled with some amazing looking setups (like the rail at 4:00). The entire last minute was filled with some awesome clips that I wasn’t expecting. The two tracks threw me off at first (surprisingly I don’t hear too many parts edited to Drake, yet that guy is everywhere), but the riding holds up throughout. This video, and the rest of the Stranded video, really does a good job at showcasing the newest generation of riders in Newfoundland, and they will be slowly putting all the sections online over the next little while.

A little late on posting this one that went online a few days ago, but here is the trailer (?) for the new Hevil HD video from Surrey Steve. Last year saw the release of a Hevil DVD with footage from 2004-2008, and now it looks it’s all HD from this point out. No word or details on when the full video will be released, but this trailer is loaded with too many riders to list from all over Vancouver, and even a big of California and Texas footage. We’re looking forward to more Hevil releases in 2014.

I don’t shoot flatland photos very often, but when I do it’s usually with my (twin) brother Prasheel. Doing so affords me the chance to ask for certain tricks or positions and a lot of repetition to get the shot I want, which comes with our familiarity and something I wouldn’t usually ask other riders to do. This photo ran in Union Press Issue 4, which is out everywhere in Canada now, or order a copy here.

Adam Piatek in this new joint for MacNeil with a mix of street and park clips. This is just some of his leftover stuff for the upcoming MacNeil DVD project. Interesting fact, this Outkast song Player’s Ball was originally a Christmas song.
