I suck at video descriptions, normally I would go with something along the lines of  “I made this video of my friends biking because it’s fun.” But I feel like I could probably say something slightly more interesting about this one. Basically I spent the summer carrying my VX around, annoying as many people as I could to let me film them. After about a dozen mini DV tapes, a broken ribbon cable in my viewfinder and a few trips; (Montreal, Toronto, London and a couple other places) I somehow I ended up with 8 and a half minutes of footage. So thanks to everyone who was down to film something for this! *praying hands emoji* And thanks to the Long Island connects aka The Whammo squad for sending a bunch of awesome clips through. Also massive thanks to Jeremy Deme for letting me premiere this on the site, and for being the man and holding down The Embassy for the last 5 years.

So we had a few ideas for this, one of which was to pick one clip from the over 200 edits we’ve been fortunate enough to create/ host over the five years and create an epic TBT edit but it was simply too hard to choose one clip per edit honestly! Instead here’s a look back on some of our favorites over the years. Do not click this unless you have a good amount of free time, there’s a ton of good ones to enjoy!

Jared Embassy 2

Jared Chilko is a name that most Canadians should be very familiar with. JJ has been a part of/ shredding in the Canadian BMX scene for over a decade now and shows no signs whatsoever of slowing down. Jared also possesses some true Canadian characteristics being humble, down to earth and extremely talented. We at Northern Embassy are very grateful of Jared’s help over the years, from edits, pictures and many other things he’s graced the NE pages with over the years, we are big fans of JJ. Jared has had a busy and life changing year, we caught up with him to get all the details!

  • It was hot as hell out. Adam took this shot while Andrew was working his ass off for a clip in the summa heat.
  • Awesome how BMX brings everyone together. End of a dope day, mobbing around with a bunch of different crews from different cities.
  • I will never, ever get bored of running over these floppy pole jams that litter the streets in Quebec.
  • Alexis hitting the roof in the O.
  • Paul is insane. Chills 99% of the time then will throw himself at gaps that don't make sense without a run in. This is him trying to 360 over a gap/fence hop. He told everyone he was just going to straight jump it...
  • Alley chills
  • Cruising around with our godsend of a tour guide Justin. He took us to countless incredible spots, most of which we were probably too hungover to ride but they were dope anyway.
  • I think this is Pierre blasting over one of the many foam two ways that Montreal schools have to offer.
  • Andrew gap to pegs the nose
  • Andrew hanger

  • Someone let this dog come with us but I wasn't too mad.
  • Patio beers at Arnauds

Every Summer we go on a road trip to Montreal to film a bit for the DVD and drink a lot. We’ve been trying to get into the habit of taking a handful of disposables with us to capture key moments to remember the great times we had during the trip. I think the guys nailed it this time.

This trip was particularly awesome. We drove up there with two cars full of people, and met up with more Halifax dudes who are working out west when we got there. All together I think there was 9 of us from back home. The crew consisted of young guns as young as 18 and OG’s as old as 27, and I couldn’t have asked for a better gang. On top of the crew we brought, we met up with a bunch of homies and stacked like crazy for the DVD.

Photos taken by everyone. HUGE thanks to Arnaud Paquin for letting us stay at his place in Terrebonne for a few nights, for taking us to a dope beach in the middle of the woods, and being an all around dope guy. Massive thanks to Justin Hughes for bringing our stubborn asses all around the city to incredible spots, and for being the party master he is, and thanks to everyone that added to the trip in any way to make it as sick as it was.

TCU just posted up this D Floyd instagram compilation that is 9:27 of pure entertainment. From the street in front of his house, to his high school, to Montreal parks to Cali, there’s a bunch of cool stuff throughout this that warrant the watch.
