Lots going on over at BMX Gallery 4130. They’re holding a winter contest where the best BMX & snow picture wins a Cult prize pack (Cult bars, Cult chain, Cult hat and Cult pedals).

“All you need to do is post a picture to Instagram with the #bmxgallery4130 and you’re entered. That’s it. It could be a tire track in the snow, your buddy firing a rail in the snow, or stair hop with the snow shovelled.”

For all contest details click here. In other Gallery news they just released a limited run of Gallery Flames Quintin collab hats. These hats look amazing and will be gone quicker than this NHL season. If you’re in Calgary grab one quick and if you’re from out of town, order one off their new online store here.

As I watched BMX videos instead of football in America today, I came across this edit of two successive weekend trips in 2010. The first weekend was spent in the Kootenays and the second in Seattle. Together they featured attempts at riding in the woods, camping in the middle of nowhere, a brief appearance from Street Lazer, and George Bolter (among others) kicking ass at bike riding.

This is amazing! Desson hooked up Jeff Evans’ first ever edit, dating back to Jeff being in grade 7/8. He barely looks big enough to hop and yet he was already shredding the streets in typical Jiff fashion.

Isaac Cormack hooked up this dope edit of the Victoria, BC homies enjoying summer and shredding the streets Vic. This edit has a really good vibe to it and it really makes you miss/look forward to summer! Greg Flag will be proud of the last clip.

There’s a reason we only do our hats with Quintin, they make dialed shit! They just dropped their Holiday 2012 lineup and as expected it looks real good. The McKinley Jacket is my fav, there’s still some imprint project shirts that Quintin did with George Marshall, Jeff Z, Edwin Delarosa, Walter Peringer and Ricky Adam on there as well. Check everything out here.

This was taken on a rooftop that’s better than some skateparks. But it’s a pain in the ass to get on. First you have to climb on the first building, then walk across the top wall for eight feet. On the day I shot this the cops came and we all tried to run. As any photographer or filmer can attest, I was the last one out. By the time I ran across the wall to the second building, everyone tossed their bikes and jumped. Jumping off buildings with camera equipment sucks. Anyway, Wayne Hartman spins the bars over one of the big hips, warming up, right before the cops showed up.

Let’s talk about Dave Osato. If there ever was a guy who was ahead of his time, it was Osato. Dave came from a generation of ramp riders with front brakes and full pads, but his influence had much wider scope than that. I’d be willing to bet that most people don’t even think about some of the ways he’s pushed different aspects of riding, so I’ve scoured Youtube for some poorly compressed old footage and compiled a simple list.

I know we have been heavy on the reposting of existing videos lately, but I couldn’t pass this one up. Pete Olson has been developing and refining his own personal style of riding in the parking lots (and basements) of Saskatoon for a long time now, so it’s really great to see him get increasing exposure lately, and now the support of S&M Bikes. This video is full of extremely hard and complicated cross footed and cross armed rolling tricks and pivots that you should watch whether you ride flatland or not. Check it out, and look for more from Pete Olson in the future.
