These are the young up and coming Montreal street dawgs who have been putting in work in the streets of MTL the past couple years. Camillo is currently working on their 2013 promo edit and somehow this edit never got posted up so here it is. Winter is lurking, ride outside while you can!
Those of you that have been living under a rock may not have realized that the fabled Deadline video is finally done and making its way out to market now. The official Canadian premiere is going down this Friday, October 4th at 8:00pm at Joyride 150 in Markham, ON. If you are anywhere in the Greater Toronto Area make it out to this premiere. We’ve had the opportunity to watch it already and you should prepare to have your brain explode out of your butt over how good it is. You can find more details on the Facebook event page here. See you there.

Growing up, I knew Mike McKinlay as the skater that all of my friends looked up to. Mike and his brother Sam ran a local skate shop and had sections in videos next to Ryan Smith. Outside of the things we knew him for, Mike also had a passion for nature and documentary filmmaking which eventually became his chosen occupation.
Travis Collier has long been one of Canada’s most respected flatlanders. Before the recent wave of flatland and street intermingling, Travis was, for a long tome, one of the few world class flatlanders riding a normal looking bike and mixing the two. He has a unique and fluid style, and is well rounded within and outside of bmx.
Mike and Travis collaborated on a three part series of short films a couple of years ago that was both thoughtful and visually impressive. It was a unique circumstance where Mike had just enough distance from bmx to bring a fresh perspective, but enough exposure and appreciation to engage the subject and do it justice. Travis was able to tell a relatable story with subtlety and insight, and his riding is always a treat to watch.
SPOTS, the second film in the series, has been chosen to air on the Knowledge Network as part of a series called Take Me Home. The series that touches on what “home” means to different musicians, artists, and other celebrities that live in BC and will air regularly in prime time.
Richard Gregory put this edit together a few years ago. 8mm footage from around the world is a great travel souvenir; it’s been one of my favorite edits ever since and I was reminded of it today.
The Portuguese hand grenade is forced to run through his bike, and crank arm grinds some big rails. Zach Rampen on the production end of it, so you know it looks good too.
