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.
Check out this promo video for the Real City Spin flatland contest taking place in Montreal at Le Taz on August 30th and 31st. Montreal’s flatland scene has produced some amazing riders that hold their own in the international contest scene in the last number of years, and it’s great to see Jean-William Prevost (Dub) throwing an event like this in his home city and putting a big push on up and coming riders.
This contest will also be the third stop in the Am Flatland Circuit, with categories in novice, veteran, expert, and pro, and they have confirmed riders from Costa Rica, Japan, USA, and France. If flatland is your thing, no matter your skill level, you should be at this event. I think this line from their website summarizes it nicely:
“We are offering a competition to the North Eastern American Flatland scene to stimulate the up and coming riders in setting and achieving their goals by showcasing their tricks at an official Freestyle event.”
“The majority of the team guys have been filming hard for various solo and full length projects, so getting footage for the Transition promo proved to be more difficult that expected. Everyone one the team is super close knit so when filming for this project it was all laid back, good vibes, and good times. That’s what it’s all about really.”
