Brooklyn Price has been away for work for sometime, and unable to ride his bike. Fortunately for the last month he’s been off work and back on his bike. Here he is with a handplant in the Winnipeg warehouse trying to keep warm. Photo by Eric Marshall.
Union Press is a collaborative project that has been in the works for the last few months between Brad Hill from BMXFU and my ongoing zine series Yo Sick. I am glad to finally say that the first issue is complete, back from the printers, and ready to see the light of day. Our aim with this publication was to make a tangible extension of our interests with photos, writing and illustrations, and to highlight some interesting characters in Canadian BMX that we have the pleasure of knowing. You can expect a two page broadsheet printed on newsprint, with fold out posters from OSS and Macneil. Inside you will find work from Brad Hill, myself and a list of contributors that includes Mike Cardin, Riley McMaster, Eric Marshall, and Nashville’s Andrew White
You can find copies of it in the new year at bike shops across Canada that deal with Ten Pack Distribution. If you don’t have a local bike shop we will have it in online stores soon for the price of shipping. You can check out some more photos of the pages after the jump and hopefully get a copy in your hands soon.
Here’s a random Barcelona photo that will surely make everyone on the trip wish they were back there, and everyone else in Canada look forward to summer/ the end of this white stuff and below zero temperatures.

Sam Lowe over grind in Vancouver. This was the first time anyone did an over-grind on this set up. This was on the cover of one of the Red issues.
