ALthough most of this footage is a year old, our boy Dillon shreds throughout this Quintin edit. Quintin’s 2012 fall line will be dropping real soon and everything looks amazing. Stay tuned for Quintin’s new line and for more banging shit from Dillon real soon!

Union Press issue two is back from the printer, and available now. For those not familiar, Union Press is a free Canadian newsprint zine created by Brad Hill of BMXFU and my ongoing project, Yo Sick. The zine focuses on Canadian BMX with stories, profiles, photos, and illustrations from myself (Prashant Gopal), Brad Hill, Trent Barker, Lee Dennis, Adam Grandmaison, Prasheel Gopal, and more. For issue two we have doubled the page count from 2 to 4 broadsheets, and the reverse side from each page unfolds to reveal full size (23″ X 34″) posters from MacNeil Bikes, Almond Footwear, Sunday Bikes, and Quintin Co. The zine is available for free from bike shops across Canada that have an account with Ten Pack Distribution. If you can’t get it through your local bike shop, or live outside of Canada, you can find it in the Yo Sick online store for the cost of shipping. Check out some more photos of some of the pages below, and get your hands on a copy soon.

To continue with a theme this week of black and white photos, here is a quick shot of Chris Silva I took this spring at a tight and fast DIY mini ramp. This photo is part of an 8.5″ X 11″ ‘poster’ that comes with a re-print of a zine I made two years ago called Locals Only, as part of my ongoing Yo Sick project. If you’re interested in the zine, you can find more info on the second edition of Locals Only here.

Fans of this site should be more than familiar with Trent Barker‘s photos by now. He’s still recovering from a bad foot injury from last summer, but is always steadily shooting and collecting photos in and around Toronto. He sent over a collection of ten great photos from his summer so far. Click below to check out the full gallery, and be sure to head over to the Ten Pack website for a recent gallery he also shot of an Animal tour here.
