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.

Typically we try to avoid sponsorship news on here but this is HUGE! Legendary Canadian Sam Lowe has been added to the MacNeil team. Stoked to see what’s in store for 2013 for these guys.

This is Jason Anthony. Jason Teet took his pegs off for a while and gets ridiculous on a bunch of Van setups you’d ride by and probably not think twice about riding. He also discusses his current rig, put together very nicely by Riley McMaster.

We weren’t able to travel to Austin this year’s Texas Toast Jam, but fortunately for us a handful of Canadian flatlanders were. One of which was Trevor Oleniuk who carried a camera around with him to capture the weekend. He sent over a selection of different photos that he recently developed and a few words about his time in Texas so click below to read what he has to say and check it all out.

I bet Jeff a ticket to an Oilers VS Canucks game that he wouldn’t come to Barcelona… a few days later (with some help from 1664 and Quintin) he was booked for Barcelona and also going to a hockey game. It’s safe to say Jeff went the hardest of anyone on this trip, from chugging whiskey the first night in Barcelona super jet lagged and out drinking everyone in the house the rest of the time, wrestling/foot stomping people, going hard every night wherever people were heading to, trying to steal Prashant’s bed, Ola-ing the shit out of every girl in sight, shredding hard everyday and making sure every person staying at the Embassy crib got the run through of all of his kitty pictures on his lap top every couple nights, Jeff kept things interesting.
