Jason Enns has a very interesting article on Dig here . He discusses the work put into finding and riding a bowl, which is truly as much work as being in the streets. He also mentions people growing away from BMX with age and his personal situation where he can never see himself off a bike, which I’m sure many of us can relate to.

“You know how many people I know who stopped being a professional rider, and never touch a bike again? That’s seems insane to me. So you’re mid-twenties with no work history. Now I’m almost forty, an immigrant with no work history; no one is going to hire you. You get hurt a few times, and you question what you are doing it for. If all you’re going to do is end up with nothing, why don’t you do what’s fun?

I’ve come full-circle. You start at a fun level, and then as you graduate to a certain level, some of that gets lost along the way. I feel like I’m back to that position where it’s like, “Fuck it, it’ so fun, I just can’t see myself ever not riding.” When the basis of what you’re doing is fun, it translates to the viewer; people have fun watching it.”

Braden Beck cruises the local park for a quick five clips with his friends. MacNeil BMX has put together some rad prizes for the contest, if you haven’t started filming it’s time to get to it! Three weeks left until our Five Clip Fever deadline. Filmed and Edited by Kelly Bragg.

On Sunday August 2nd, Atlantis Vancouver hosted a word of mouth jam in Vancouver. With a bunch of the S&M team in town and Orlando/Atlantis behind the reigns, you already know this was a good ass time. Chuck put this together beautifully, to the point you almost feel like you were there. Which if you weren’t, you will soon wish you had been, hit play.

I think it’s safe to say Ryan Eles has had a big year and is definitely up there with some of Canada’s best right now. Despite some injuries this past Spring, Ryan managed to put together this edit over the course of a few weeks, just before making the move from Markham, back to Sudbury.

Read on for a gallery with some photos shot by Zach St. Clair while filming this edit.

Rasmus Gravesen just posted a quick clip of Trayle Boss breaking in a new line up at Kush. Recently there has been a bit of much needed moisture to help re-dial in a few lines. Peep Luke breaking in those freshened lips!

Here’s a few reasons you shit hit play and watch MacNeil’s Any Means Necessary, if you haven’t seen it already on DVD:
– NE’s own Zach Rampen edited the entire video and did an amazing job. Getting footage from many different filmers in an assortment of formats could not have made this an easy task for Zach.
– Chris Silva put his heart and soul into his part spending months searching and clipping up. Easily a NORA cup nominated part and Silva’s best section, which says alot. (Starts at 22:15)
– Classic Jaumell Campbell, Greg Flag and Sam Lowe footy
