St. John’s, Newfoundland has a booming BMX scene and population, despite the city’s relatively small size. Much of that can be attributed to Rob Yetman’s shop Turndown. Very few shops offer a huge selection of BMX bikes and parts, as well as being home to an ever changing indoor park. Rob and his crew are in there building ramps, rails, and modifying their setup in order to offer the riders of St. John’s a haven for the long winter months. Jon Fenn sent in this edit from their winter so far, which includes a number of Hiatus/Deadline era riders back riding for the first time in a few years.

There’s no doubt about it, the NHL lockout was a crock of shit. It hurt fans, businesses who sold NHL goods, employees of the NHL and many others way more than it hurt the owners and players. However, there could have easily been no season at all this year and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t stoked to see what happens.

There were talks of an Embassy hockey pool last year but it didn’t happen. This year we have a pool setup in the CBC Fantasy pool, sign up here and join the NorthernEmbassy group. The winner at the end of the season will win an Embassy prize pack featuring a bunch of rad shit (including a limited edition Embassy item). The sign up deadline for the CBC Fantasy pool is this coming Saturday at 3pm EST so sign up quick!

Today is a sad day in Canadian BMX, legendary Canadian rider Chris Silva has decided to put an end to 3 years of Sour Fever. Chris accomplished alot with Sour Fever. It’s quite amazing for a small Canadian clothing company to put out countless web edits, print over 700 pieces of clothing, hook up a stacked team of Canadian shredders, sponsor Canadian events/contests (including our Summer of Fun contest) and even put out full length DVD. It’s safe to say Chris did things right and gave back as much as he could to Canadian BMX. For all the info and for Chris’ top 10 Sour Fever blog posts click here.
