The Goon squad out of Mississauga, ON are constantly banging out edits/ shredding the GTA. Here’s their latest “Quick Clips” feature (9th edition). Be sure to check out their youtube page here for a ton of other banging edits.
I have worked many different jobs in/ around the BMX scene in Vancouver over the last 15 years, And I have always wanted a team. A group of us from Van went to Texas Toast in 2013 and had a blast, when I came back it was just stuck in my mind that I had to do it. I took a little time to think about exactly what I was doing, then in April of 2014 I called up the boys to see if they were down, and it just so happened that they were all going to the Okanogan to meet up and ride that weekend! Riffs was born on that day.
Andy McGrath – Andy is the chillest dude ever, and has the style to boot (check out his new video for proof). He is also very tech savvy and has done lots of editing and filming in the Van scene for the past couple of years. Crimson Bike in North Vancouver made a custom frame recently, The Crimson Riffer, and it’s bad-ass.
Dave Laliberte – Dave is the most “BMX kid” I have ever met, but make no mistake- “Little dave” ain’t little no more. Always super stoked to ride whatever, he’s a bit hyper and funny as hell. The term “Best Grizz Air” gets thrown around a lot, and Dave has my vote, 100%. As dynamic as he is riding, he loves getting out on a quiet lake to fish the day away too. If you ride a park with Dave, keep your head up for his Pitbull Timon, he WILL take you out, full speed.
Colby Burns- A lot of modern men like to grow their beards out and post a couple of selfies each day about how rugged and manly they are without ever getting their hands dirty. Colby Burns is the real deal. seriously, every time I meet up with the guy in less than 5 minutes he’s chopping down a tree, pulling something with his truck or jumping that thing that everyone’s only looked at for years. The Pride of Prince George BC. I heard him howling at the moon the last time we went camping, I’m pretty sure he’s a werewolf of some kind.
A short team video is in the works. Our graphics are going to get more brutal and the music will get heavier. It’s going to be a full clothing line before long, but for now it’s T-shirts and web videos. I hope you all enjoy!

Thanks to everyone who’s spread our name, wore the shirt, or just been stoked on Riffs!”

Riffs dropped this banging edit of Andy McGrath a couple weeks back, if you haven’t seen it yet give it a watch. If you’ve already seen it, re watch it because it’s damn good!
Also watch Colby’s ridiculous edit from last year!
YO Merrytimes out of Moncton, NB just dropped this tight as hell park mix from various local parks. This stuff is so good. Peep Matt Comeau with the up-ledge to burner combos at 2:45. Hit that play.
This is rad: awesome riding, Barcelona and good filming, a perfect combination. “My names Kyle Kostigian I’m 16 years old, from Cambridge Ontario Canada. Me and my buddy flew to Barcelona for 2 weeks and stayed at my friends house with him and his family. We had tons of fun and managed to film this video!”
A huge thanks to Federal and Eclat for amazing prize packs for our Five Clip Fever contest. Ryan Eles has a fever and let us put together this 5 clip edit with him to promote the contest. Get out and clip up!
A few years ago, shortly after moving from Montreal to Vancouver, I started hearing of Montreal’s “Crazy Frog” Pascal Lafontaine. Pascal was jumping off roofs, doing huge drops and just straight killing it, at a point where no one had really even heard of him before.
Flash forward to a few months ago, Pascal had dropped numerous memorable edits (here, here, here, here) and also a crazy Hunt section. Although he’d had a few injuries over the years, he was still filming and shredding on the reg.
On June 10th, 2015, Pascal had the misfortune of having his right foot amputated due to Ewing Sarcoma cancer. The obvious would be to state that things could always be worse… however, for a young man who clearly had his heart and soul in BMX, this hits hard. Pascal is currently adapting to the prosthetic and hoping to ride again down the road.
One of the greatest things about BMX is the support and community surrounding it. Although this is a very grim time for Pascal, please share in our wishing him the best and offering support/ strength during this hard time. We know you’ll shred again soon Pascal, stay strong brother!
Our friends at BMX union have a cool gallery with some pictures of Pascal’s last session before the surgery here
“Travelling far to distant lands, from YVR to (Beijing), Neriah and I found ourselves out at night in the streets for a weekend.” Neriah is rad, mix him, good filming/ editing and good spots and the city of Beijing and you have a rad edit! Filmed by Leroy Maarhuis
Cache Cook is a 17 years old shredder from Princeton, BC. This edit was filmed and edited by Kyle Falk
