Rich Redmond sent through this edit he made of assorted clips he gathered throughout May. Monster trucks, go-karting, a go-pro attached to a dog, and arena shows. This edit has just about it all. It also has riding from Max Vincent, Ben Kaufmann, Jorden Guth, Rich Redmond, Jay Leroux, Nick Stupich, and plenty more Ottawa locals.

Mark Karau (who’s photos we posted back when the site first started) is out on a five month biking, hiking, camping, farming, and anything else trip. He has been updating his flickr account frequently with great pictures like the one above. Follow his travel blog and his flickr account for more scenes from the road.

Montreal has a lot of good spots, amongst these spots lays the world famous Big-O. The Big-O mini has seen alot of shredding over the years, it only takes one carve through the mini’s tight trannies to realize how ridiculous some of the things that have been done there really are. Whether it was Van Homan’s double peg on the fence (seen his 2001 Parts section) or Dillon Lloyd’s flair in 2009, alot of good shit has been done at the Big O mini.

The Big O mini was originally built as an entrance tunnel for athletes at the 1976 Olympics and has been around since. The Pipe was threatened with destruction in the summer of 2006 by the Montreal Impact soccer team’s new stadium, however skaters who have been skating the mini for over a decade fought hard to keep it alive and it is still standing. The soccer team organization agreed to leave the pipe there so long as they could use it as a secondary entrance during games.

I haven’t been as stoked on a bmx event/ jam as I am for this in a very long time. How fun does this look? A gauntlet, trails, curved wall, flat rail and a bunch more stuff, sounds like a real good time. Props to Odyssey for doing this, you know they put a shit load of work into it. We need an event/jam like this to become a yearly event in Canada. Check here for all the details/news.
