“The other night I was completely asleep at three in the morning when Matt Desson called and said he and his crew were going to drive to Winnipeg to hit up some untouched spots.  In the mix of the conversation he mentioned this wheel chair rail as one of the spots he wanted to ride, and made a direct reference to this Brooklyn Price’s photo.  It is one of my favourite photos. Brook can make relatively simple tricks look rad.  A stylish bunnyhop is timeless but a few years ago, when this was shot, the stylish bunnyhop was not as current – think today’s Andrew Jackson’s tuck, or Dakota Roche’s Euro table.  Brook’s working in Edmonton right now. Someone lend the man a bike for a few days, get him back into the thick of things.
Desson, by the way, ended up not coming to Winnipeg.”

This has spread throughout the interweb this morning, and we thought it wouldn’t hurt to post it up here too. Taylor has been slowly getting a lot of coverage, and Jeremy worked hard with him for the past few months to put this Welcome to the Team edit together for Macneil. Check it out, and look for more from Taylor in the future.

On May 26th, Justin Kosman @ The Hunt hit us up about entering The Hunt video contest. With only two months until the deadline, we spent a couple days debating/thinking who could film a part in such short amount of time, Dillon Lloyd confirmed he was down and I agreed to put in work behind the lens. These are some photos from the two months of filming for Dill’s part. Be sure to check the trailer here and wait to see the full part… just wait.

” DON’T BREAK THE RAMPS !!! ” If you rode UAB skatepark in MTL on a regular basis or were just there on a night when someone was trying a trick that took several tries, you got to hear Jason yell his famous words of encouragement at whoever was trying to land their trick. STAY MAD X Quintin hats are the perfect piece of apparel for Jay.

Earlier in the year there were rumblings in Ottawa of a possible trip to Barcelona. Barcelona is obviously known as THE destination for an endless array of unbelievable spots and beautiful beaches, things that don’t immediately come to mind when you think of Ottawa. A few people had tentatively agreed, and as the summer crept closer, plans seemed to solidify, the fever swept the city, and the crew grew larger. Before long, it had ballooned in to a ten man Spanish holiday. Riders included Rich Redmond, Chris Chitaroni, (Crazy Fucking) Steve Moreau, Nick Stupich, Chris Bryan, Jay Leroux, Kyle Lafleur and Joe Delongchamp (Ace) from Sudbury, and ex-Ottawa residents Jeff Bedard and Marc Boudreau.

Rich Redmond sent me a variety of riding, partying, and tourist photos from the trip, and a point form account of his impression of Barcelona. Click below to check it all out.
