Our homie Gustav Ekelund hooked up this photo he took of his swag hat at Garibaldi lake, BC last week. This was taken at a 3,000 ft elevation and I couldn’t agree with Gustav more on this: “This is a photo I took on a hike to Garibaldi lake just outside of Whistler. I thought it looked kinda cool, showing how fucking beautiful Canada is.”  Thanks for hooking this up Gustav, we probably don’t say this enough but if ever anyone anywhere has anything they want to send in or work on, hit us up @ NorthernEmbassy@gmail.com.

I’ve been slacking on the Embassy edits lately but I’m stoked on this one. Stay Glad Summer Mix featuring Justin Kirnan, Justin Hughes, Matt Desson, Greg Flag, James Steele, Prashant Gopal, Dillon Lloyd, Loren Lyftogt, Ras Gravesen, Ryan Hiebert, Andy Roode, Matt Ridgeway, Taylor Elvy, special guests and myself. It’s sunny and warm, stay glad and ride bikes.

Zach Rampen hooked us up bigtime with this dope edit of Slade Scherer shredding hard. There’s a bunch of crazy icepicks in here, and a bunch of other crazy shit, Slade killin it on the streets.

Just a quick update on Embassy’s/ Dillon Lloyd’s Hunt part, it has now made it’s way into the final 14. Judging goes down next week, Dakota Roche, Aaron Ross, Dave Mirra, Adam Banton, TJ Lavin and head judge Will Stroud will be calling the shots. Keep on supporting Dillon, we want him in the final 10 and onto the DVD. Check here for all the details.

Jason Vawter hooked up a few pictures from the RAD 25th Anniversary this past weekend in Cochrane, AB.

“The RAD Jam was amazing! Big turn out! Lots of riders and spectators, the 14 and under class was bad asss! So man pint size shredders killin the bowl at the Cochrane park. My favourite by far was the master class throw down! With the RAD re-union the night before it was really cool to see the guys that were the influenced and inspired the most by RAD get together and just have some fun on a bike. Bmx Gallery in Calgary AB and 1664 bmx distro did an amazing job putting together a solid jam!”
