Etienne Charlebois, out of Montreal, just got home from a vacation in Spain; from Barcelona to Malaga. He took some great photos from his adventures, and managed to put together this dope video of him cruising around some of the great transition spots Spain has to offer. His focus of the trip was not to get out there and hustle for clips, but to have as much fun as possible, enjoying the famous spots and capturing the events for great memories. Here are some of his awesome photos (mostly on 35mm) from the trip.

Taken from Ride Bmx “After the Holy Fit premiere, I vividly remember people being confused by Jordan Hango’s section. They had no idea who he was and the fact that he just threw down one of the better sections in the video had them bewildered. Where’s he from? Why is he so fucking awesome? His section burned his name into people’s memories and these five clips are just the tip of what he threw down.”

Hango is crazy and so is his part from Holy Fit, don’t sleep on this DVD.

Since early winter there has been rumblings of an indoor bike park in the works in Ottawa, ON. Social media brought that rumor to life and today we share the first edit/footage to come out of the new park. Along the way there some complaints about the ramps (more specifically the lack of rounded landing on the jump line) but in all honestly Ottawa has needed something like this for so long now that landings should be the least of anyone’s concern. Ottawa has longtime struggled with bike friendly outdoor parks, finally that struggle will come to an end. Epic bike park is scheduled to open at some point in February and looks like it should be a Joy to Ride.

A decade ago, if someone had said that Canada would one day have a 100,000 square foot indoor bike park, you wouldn’t have believed them. Indoor skateparks were hard enough to keep going, imagine a bike only park with essentially 7 skateparks in one building? There’s no way.

A couple months ago, Joyride 150 had it’s 5 year anniversary. Not only did a 100,000 square foot indoor bike only park open in Markham, ON, Canada, it’s been successful enough to be open for over 5 years now.

Saying Joyride 150 has had a huge impact on BMX in Canada would be an understatement. The GTA and Ontario scene have grown enormously with the help of Joyride 150, having an amazing indoor park available to riders for the 6 months of the year where riding outside is not possible has been huge. Not to say it isn’t a ton of fun in the summer either.

One of the most amazing things about this park is no matter how many edits you’ve seen of it, photos, or anything else, nothing prepares you for your first visit. Walking into the building you slowly realize how humongous the park actually is, you quickly realize why people have traveled from across the world to shred this park. Same can be said about the layout, you can try and study it but until you ride it, you won’t fully understand it!

From the countless edits that have come out of Joyride (including Drew Bezansons legendary ones! 1 and 2), countless jams and just everyday sessions, we are very fortunate to have Joyride 150 in Canada. Some of the talentedCanadian riders we know today (Drew Bezanson, Brandon Webster, Mike Gray, Mike Varga, Ryan Eles, and more) have really benefited from riding Joyride 150 throughout the winters.

Below are  few photos of the overall of the park. As mentioned above, these photos do not do the park justice by any means, you have to ride it to fully comprehend it. If you’ve never had to chance to ride this place, it’s unreal, make the trip!
