As if a long weekend isn’t sweet enough, Wheelies are organizing a jam at Hastings Monday September 1st. Starts at noon and will be an amazing time, go blast!
We headed to Toronto this year for our Business trip, and figured rolling around with some disposable cameras in our pockets would be a great way to capture the essence of what BMX trips are to us. So each of us stocked up on disposables so we could snap pictures throughout the day (and night) as quick as possible when something worth shooting came up. The results were awesome and pretty funny. This is just a small amount of the shots we snapped but are some of the best.
Even though these pictures are from different days over the course of the trip, I wanted them to be laid out in such a way that it shows a pretty average day on our bikes while on a trip. Here’s what we came up with, Enjoy!
Some rad street riding from the south shore of Montreal featuring KID SAVLEM, DANIEL FONTAINE-ANNETT, and KEVEN ROUSSEAU. Some awesome stuff throughout but that 360 to manual 3 by Kid really stood out to me, mad bike control.
Chris Chitaroni put together this amazing edit of UK to Ottawa transplant Alex Boyd. Brose Farm is an epic place to say the least and Alex has style for miles, hit play now.
Here’s some big news, Dew Tour will for the first time be in Canada on September 12 and 13th. Featuring street contests in BMX and skateboarding, the contest focuses on the amateur class and will have cash prizes for the top 5 riders. Click here for all the info.
This video from Mitch Anderson is pretty great. To make a long story short, Mitch has been battling a pretty harsh disease for the last four years, and after beginning to feel stronger and healthier he packed up his stuff, loaded up his ride, and took off for the west coast. You can read a lot more about his battle and personal outlook over on his website, read his own statement below, and clear 12 minutes to watch a compilation of his six week road trip across Western Canada.
After 4 years bed ridden with constant medical care I started working towards becoming physically active again. After 2 years of hard work my health started to regain. I sold everything I could, jumped in my favorite car (a beautiful 1986 Porsche 911, modified by Rii Projects) grabbed my bmx and took off west! With no plan but to ride my bike, meet old and new friends, and experience as much as possible. It was a great success and I hope to find funding to head out east before the winter!

You would not usually think an edit of two guys riding one quarter pipe would be all that interesting, but this is certainly an exception. If you take huge objection to the manual to nowhere 180 then maybe this isn’t for you, but the last few tricks (whip to lawnmower?!) in this short video with Chris Silva and Steve Moxley are pretty incredible and I think worthy of posting. Check out the two riding a big red quarter pipe out behind the 3Ride Toronto shop.
Here is another treat from the ‘burbs! Rhett Cerney has been stacking some clips in and around Poco with Adam Piatek. It’s always a treat to see the lines Adam comes up with at Railside. The true highlight is seeing those PoCo trails poppin off at the end!
My dudes from DEOBMX out in Truro, NS, dropped their official video for Gallery 4130’s second instalment of Ride to Glory, and it looks like they had a blast. They’ve been stacking clips like mad for a full length project so keep your eyes peeled for that.
