It is with great pleasure that we announce our 2014 Summer contest: Canada’s Hidden Gems. There are a ton of shredders in all corners of Canada who are just looking for a project to film for, and this is it. Everyone has that buddy who kills it and has the rattiest bike, this is also for him. School’s out, the weather is perfect, riding season is on, grab a camera or a buddy with one, and start filming the good times. You have two months to put together something you are stoked on and have a chance to win a completely custom new bike, Etnies shoes and more. Your filmer/editor also has the chance to win a Go Pro Hero 3+ silver edition and Etnies shoes. There will also be a bunch of other prizes announced as the deadline gets closer (best trick, most creative, worst bail, etc.). We will be posting updates as the deadline comes closer along with images/details on the custom bike.
The rules are simple: make an edit your stoked on and send it to us by email northernembassy@gmail.com before September 23rd, 2014. The easiest way to send the edit will be by Wetransfer, and we will be hosting all the edits on our Vimeo channel. After September 23rd our prestigious judges ( Jason Enns, Dillon Lloyd, Brandon Webster, and Mike Gray) will chose the winner. As always, we encourage creativity, good times and positive vibes, have fun and let it show throughout the edit. Put in work for the next couple months and have something that you can look back on and be stoked for years to come. Two months goes quick, start now!
Please share this poster on Instragram and Facebook, spread the good word and get stoked to see some great Canadian edits.
A huge thanks goes out to Etnies, We the People, Odyssey, Eclat, MacNeil, Fiend, Merritt, BMX Gallery 4130, Federal, Sunday, Joyride 150, GoPro and Repset for helping make this possible.
***Contest open to Canadian residents only***

Each year, my friends and I pack up a few vehicles and go explore a new part of America. This year, we packed two trucks, two cars and a minivan with 20 people and 19 bikes. The destination was Eastern Oregon, the fourth of July, and the heart of America.

What’s for dinner? Leftovers. But the good kind. When Kyle Lafleur isn’t going hard in the Mac, you can probably assume he’s out riding somewhere in and around the Sudbury, ON region. He has amassed a big collection of leftover footage of himself from as far back as 2011 until today, put it to a Lil’ Wayne song, and uploaded it for the world to see. Check it out.
Brayden Rastad sent over this video he edited with footage of Nathan Pelletier riding Vancouver parks, and some street jibs from this spring/summer. Some good lines and well rounded riding from Nathan. Looking forward to seeing more from him in the future.
Ryan Davis hooked up this flyer for the second round of the Oregon Coastal Jam. Contact Ryan for full details. Guaranteed good time right there.
Kyle Hirschkorn has been shooting photos and video in Vancouver under the “Life’s Hard” moniker over the past couple of years. Kyle has a knack for capturing awesome stuff, whether his subjects know it or not. Kyle was cool enough to share some insight on a few of his recent photos, including the above shot of trail boss Luke Fulghan.
