Weather has seriously been wack over here on the east coast. A couple weeks ago Moncton, NB was buried in snow, but just last week they got a ton of rain and +10-12 degree weather. The Merrytime Crew dudes took advantage of this, and went for a soaking wet skatepark session. Matt Comeau filmed a quick video of these events.

One of Canada’s best kept secrets has been blowing up more and more, and hot on the heels of Jordan Hango’s section in Holy Fit, he was brought on to the Fit UK trip to Portugal. While there, Dig’s Fred Murray threw some question his way about life, working, riding, and even gets the honour of being called a NEW Canadian Beast. Check out some humble words from Hango here.
Daddy Desson (Eric?) comes through with this new edit for S&M Bikes. Filmed by Andrew Schubert in and around Vancouver, Desson puts down peg moves all over a number of rail and ledge spots.
This is tight, and needs some more shine time. Drew B killing spots all over Nova Scotia back in 2008ish, filmed by Mark Butler. If you ever wanted to see Drew riding street in front of a prime VX filmer you’re in luck. So many sick clips in here including the best jersey barrier stall combos you’ll ever see in your whole entire life at 1:20, and an awesome session on Halifax’s only claim to fame, “The Wave”. I looked up to Marks filming so much growing up, pure classic style, his vimeo page is definitely worth a browse as well.
Jimmy has a rad interview with Darryl on dig which you can see here. It’s an amazing read and you’ll find lots more amazing international content on Dig.
The awesome dudes at 514 in Montreal are hosting an amazing contest series called The King of Taz. Inspired by the awesome King of Quebec series from many moons ago, the contest has three dates, of which there will be a jam/ contest in different parts of the Taz. On the third and last date, the King of Taz will be crowned. This is a rad event promoting riders to ride everything but Liam at 514 also stressed that “you can compete in all or just 1 of the events. Of course the best chance anyone has a being crowned the King of Taz would be by riding in all three events but the park is open to riders also, the contest is just for those interested in competing.” This sounds like the best of both worlds, prizes at all three events, if your anywhere near Montreal make it out to this event!
