Back in May we posted about out friends Patrick and Leland cycling across Canada. Shortly after, Jason Vawter sent us this photo he shot when he spotted the pair stopping in Hedley, BC for a water refill. He had noticed Leland’s Embassy hat attached to his panniers and remembered our original post about their trip. By now they have made their way clear across central Canada, and even stopped in Winnipeg and borrowed bikes from our web tech Cory Beal to do a little bit of BMX riding for a change. They should be on schedule to head in to northern Ontario, so keep your eyes out if you live in the eastern half of the country as you might spot them. Make sure you follow both Pat and Leland on their blogs.

It’s not everyday that a BMX DVD drops, and even less often for a completely independent Canadian DVD to drop. Needless to say when we caught wind of Business, a BMX DVD out of Halifax Nova Scotia, we were pretty stoked! We hit up Byron Kutchera and Ian Fleming to get all the details on the dvd and the making of. Business premieres this friday in Halifax, read on for more info on that as well.

This is probably the newest throwback edit we’ve ever posted up but our homie in Montreal, Mike Fiz had some rough luck this weekend and broke his arm so we’re sending him good vibes from across the country. Heal up soon buddy.
