Happy new year! Keep checking back to see what we got going on… 2011 is going to be big.
I know we usually keep to Embassy content on here but Jimmy is the man and we put this together for him so fuck it.
On behalf of everyone here at Embassy, we want to wish you a great holiday, a merry Christmas and all the best in the new year. We’ve got a lot planned for 2011 so keep checking back. Also, if ever you or anyone you know has ideas for the site, knows of a jam in your area, has pictures or video you want to hook up, were always down for submissions or anything you can send our way. We want to keep Embassy on top of anything happening in BMX in Canada so hit us up anytime @ Northernembassy@gmail.com . Click HERE to read on…
As a follow up to our last Ode To Junk Food post, Toronto’s Leland Nightingale sent through his story of BMX road trip indulgence:
We (Leland Nightingale, Patrick Krzyzanowski, ‘Miami’ Mike Broff) have been going to Ft Lauderdale, Florida for four years now every winter before xmas (to ride) and each and every day we have Taco Bell once (or twice) sometimes for breakfast and we always go to this same grimey pizza joint (Downtown Pizzeria or DTP) for late night slices once a day. Its pretty gross but its the way she goes.

A few sessions with the Burnaby Ghetto house dudes; Ryan Hiebert, Matt Ridgeway and Kurt Murseli.

BMX brothers are nothing new. Lots of brothers grow up riding together. Brothers that have a passion for both BMX and photography however is rare. Scott (left) and Trent (right) Barker both come from Southern Ontario, ride bikes, and shoot photos constantly. I asked them both a few questions about themselves, their work, and their favourite photos. Click below to see more.
This is footage that was shot during the 09/10 indoor season. Originally we were filming for a couple other projects that didn’t work out in the end, that combined with my own laziness has kept this footage away from the public until now.
Guest riders: Cory Clarke, Corey Dewey and Kean Fougere.

I spotted this photo yesterday and haven’t stopped thinking about it since. Canada is amazing and so are the northern lights. Shot by Mark Karau, click HERE to see it in better res.
