This section is made up of a bunch of footage that Travis Burroughs shot in 2006. I think we were trying to film sections for Lazer, Sexsmith and Hango but they never came together. Regardless, there’s some great stuff in here and an ender that’s truly ridiculous. Sexsmith has been pretty quiet on the footage front for a while due to injury, but word is that he and JT are working on something right now – that’s a very good thing.

It’s that time of the year where the majority of the BMX population invades the small town of Tallin, Estonia for arguably the biggest BMX contest of the year, Simple Session. This year has a strong contingent of the new generation of Canadian shredders with Dillon Lloyd returning for the second time, along with first timers Brandon Webster and Mike Gray. This event is comprised of a who’s who list of the top riders around the world, so it’s great to see such strong Canadian talent included. Like past years, they will be streaming the event live online all weekend here, or you can catch all the highlights and best-of edits that will surely be pouring in online next week. Good luck to our countrymen!

Wow. Braeden Barnard sent through this video of Team Moffat CEO and TM Randy Moffat. If you have ever been to Vancouver and ridden the Plaza, you have likely met Randy. Aside from the bizarre intro, you can watch Randy jump a cheeseburger, spit a freestyle verse, and lay down some tricks at spots across Vancouver.

This has been up for a while now but any 40 year old who is still riding street like this is a fucking bad ass. The last rail is insane…

Jordan Dwan got hooked up with Tioga tires through his bike sponsor FBM and put this video together for them, and it’s safe to say that it’s pretty wild. Filmed by Brad Hill, Charlie Crumlish, Chris Cadot, and of course some self filmed clips. While you’re at it, go back and re-watch his winning entry for our 5 Clip Contest last year.

I’ve seen Ottawa’s Tommy Hains grow from a little boy that rode nothing but the skatepark in his suburb with ease in to a grown ass man that rides just about anything (but still has a strong attraction for his home park) with skill and finesse. Chris Chitaroni put together this edit with footage spanning from 2012 to now showcasing his technical ability. Also, check out our interview we did with Tommy two years ago here.

I’ve always been a big fan of seeing winter as downtime, basically a reason to keep me really stoked to ride outside all spring, summer and fall. The best way to get through the long winter is to keep busy with other projects, whether it be hockey, snowboarding or riding indoors. During the good old Presence days, in the heart of winter, during likely one of my favorite winters, I decided to film a few different edits to have some what of a series drop as soon as spring hit. With an awesome group of friends and the amazing UAB indoor park, it was an amazing winter. You’ll notice some footage of a very young Dillon Lloyd, Another fun fact about this edit is that the taz edit was actually filmed in the first weeks of the Taz being opened.

K.Will came to Montreal for a week and proceeded to shred UAB. I’m pretty sure there’s only a few people out there who have ever done a disaster barspin to barspin out and Kevin did them as good as anyone out there. “What else do you want?”

Filmed in the first 2 spring sessions of the year (as you can still see a bunch of snow on the ground). A lot of these clips are pretty chill, but is there anything better than riding outside after the long winter hibernation?
