fall photo contest

It’s autumn right now so what better reason to have a contest. The rules are simple, send us your best fall themed BMX photo before November 1st, 2013 and we will give one lucky winner an Embassy X MacNeil Pivotal seat of their choice from our private stock. Fall BMX photo is a broad theme that we will leave open to interpretation, and photos will be scored from our panel of judges. Images must be your own original material, a minimum of 700 pixels wide, and sent to northernembassy@gmail.com before November 1st in order to qualify (don’t just tag us on Instagram and expect to be entered). Get creative and start shooting!

Chilling Spree Presents a First Look for the Northern Embassy.

I have travelled back and forth across America on the regular for the past couple of years. Every trip is its own undertaking. With new destinations, routes, vessel, and agenda, each year is a completely different trek.
With all the driving, flying and even road biking across this glorious continent already ticked off the list. I really needed something big to one-up myself this summer. There was a lot of prep and training required for this leaned-back journey. I am proud of myself for making it this far…

The always recording James Dean has started a new project under the moniker WORLD DEECE. Already he is off to a quick start with two new videos in its first week. Including the one above of JD and Drew Morton’s American adventure, as well as a record shattering barspin clip.

JD is really consistent on producing dope content. A site to chronicle every bit coming out into the world was long overdue.

Where’s the DVD, James?

In July Ten Pack swung by D-Structure shop in Ste-Julie, Quebec with Chijioke Okafo, Greg Henry, Chris Silva and Jordane Dubois for their annual Block Party Jam. Phil and everyone at D-Structure put on a dope parking lot jam.

If you’ve been paying attention to BMX in Canada, or BMX anywhere for that matter, you’ve likely heard of Andrew Schubert and John Alden in the past couple years. It’s pretty easy to detect how much fun these guys have riding their bikes on whatever they happen to be riding any given day. We hit up these two humble Calgary boys to get to know them a bit better and see what they’ve been up to as of late.
