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?”
Dillon in his early stages of Diller. Dewey and Greg killing it as usual
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?
Joel Marchand is a Taz/MTL local who kills his local park in this edit. Not sure I’ve ever seen a hang ten to barspin before and if you’ve veer ridden the Taz before you know how huge that no hander transfer out of the box jump over the rail and into the quarter is!
Adam Piatek shralping Horseshoe bay in this MacNeil 5 clip edit. Filmed and edited by Shawn Duffield.
Ever wonder if Darcy Saccucci can do a barspin? Question answered. Throw in a bit of Rob Sigaty/ Greg Axford and you’ve got one hell of a 1994 miniramp session.
Brandon Webster and Matt Ray kill Joyride 150 in a few hours. Brandon Webster is ridiculous, definitely one of Canada’s biggest shredders right now, and Matt Ray kills it as well, so much good shit in this. Barspin to smith to feebs hard 360… filmed by Justin Browne.
With all the recap coverage of the Toronto Bike Show this year let’s not forget about the flatland contest. Toronto’s Justin Eastman put together this video to cover the event this year for Alli Sports. I managed to catch a number of different riders’ runs and it was a great turnout of spectators and high level riders. Edmonton’s Percy Marshall put on a mind bending run/performance, and there was heavy international talent competing, but in the end Montreal’s Jean-William ‘Dub’ Provost took first.
Mark Karau (the Curb Wizard) hooked up this dope edit of Ky Brisebois. Ky is a youngin from the Gulf Islands, BC who kills it, all of this was filmed in a single session.
Why not a second edit of Ky in the same post. Filmed and edited by Isaac Cormack.
Justen Soule put together this dope Pro Finals highlight reel (with some other clips mixed in) from this year’s Toronto BMX Jam for Alli Sports. Check it.
