Eric Trepanier filmed and edited this from the 514 jam that went down last saturday night at the Taz in MTL. Check it out for some dope riding and another angle of Dillon Lloyd up crankarm to opo whip. Featuring riding from Jason Herman, Rob Davidson, Joel Marchand, Jordane Dubois and Dillon Lloyd.
Here’s an edit that Dan Buchanan threw together from two indoor sessions, one on Drew B’s ramp in Truro, NS and one at the Menzie Ranch in Wood Islands, PEI.
Good to see my boys back east on bikes and staying warm.
Scott Barker (who’s work we love and have featured in the past) releases an online zine with almost every BMXFU video release. This time it’s a month or so after the DVD has dropped, but better late than never. Scott has released the zine as a separate Tumblr site featuring a HUGE selection of photos by himself and numerous other photographers, as well as some audio mixtapes and short video edits. Check out the BMXFU Zine and don’t stop scrolling.
Dillon Lloyd has been working on this one for a little while now but pulled it last night at the Taz/514 jam. Ridiculous, I think it’s safe to say he’s the first person ever to pull this? You’re the man Dill. Pretty sure his shirt helped him pull it…
From Jane Strip to ScarTown – 2007
It may seem like a heavy week of content from Chris Silva after his recent MacNeil web edit, but for the last few week’s he has been uploading all the past Inner City Circle videos. Just yesterday he put up 2007’s From Jane Strip to ScarTown, the previous week saw 2005’s That’s What I’m Talking About, and the week prior he uploaded 2004’s Lock and Load. These videos are steeped in Toronto BMX nostalgia as they epitomized how the city was seen by outsiders at the time, and the influences inside it. The ICC videos always ran a fine line between being a scene video and a crew video. Who they filmed and who was considered as part of that inner circle (no pun intended) was kept on a short leash. However, the videos are full of memorable riding and loads of unforgettable quirks such as skits, characters, sound effects (gun shots), nicknames, original music, and jokes.
You can watch the last three videos below with riding from Chris Silva, George Carijutan (Armani), (Drifter) Dave Stewart, Enrique Abarca (Butta), Adrian Ellis [E], Leland Nightingale, Patrick Krzyzanowski, Taro Saito, and lots more. There’s still one more video to date from the ICC so maybe that will make its way online soon…
Today is hockey day in Canada, be sure to tune in to CBC at some point today to watch your favorite Canadian team. On a somewhat related note, if you haven’t yet watched “Keep Your Head Up, Kid: The Don Cherry Story” make sure to check it out. If you’re already a Don Cherry fan it’ll make you appreciate him even more and if you aren’t fan, it will may turn you into one.
“If my aunt had balls, she’d be my uncle” Don Cherry, minutes after the Bruins were eliminated from the playoffs by the Canadiens in game 7, which would be the last game he ever coached in the NHL.
“Our boy” Marc Boudreau shot this picture of Andy Roode hopping onto a man sized flat rail to hop over into the bank.
I’m excited to say that we have our first Embassy t-shirts for sale. These were designed by Brad Hill and are printed on American Apparel summer t’s (for a soft feel and a long fit – recommended to go up one size). Each shirt also comes with a matching sticker (courtesy of Twisted Sticker) and button (pressed in Montreal by 514 BMX)
We have a limited batch of 50 of these in our online store for $25 (plus $5 shipping to anywhere in Canada) and they are going to go fast. Check out more details and photos below and swoop one up in our shop.
This got posted up yesterday in a few places but Chris Silva is the man and this edit needs more love. Watch this if you haven’t already and even if you have, watch it again. Silva ain’t no slack ass.
