“This hip over looking downtown Vancouver is on a school roof in an affluent neighborhood just north west of the city. We hit it real early morning to try and stay undetected but our cover was blown by an angry elderly lady who had spotted us setting up. She was yelling and already on her phone. We got the shot,broke down, climbed off the roof and pack up asap. We weren’t 2 blocks away before we passed a police cruiser, lights blazing, head towards the school. We thought we were busted by he blew past us without even a look. Pic by Brian Castillo circa 2003.”

PLUS! cover

Jason just got the cover of BMX Plus with this rad shot. If you look closely you can see a familiar Northern Embassy sticker on the head tube, so sick! Thanks Jason.

This one is for all the park dawgs out there. Joel Bondu has come a long way from his fullface UAB stye days but he’s been shredding since day one. Hit play (and maybe mute on the music?) and watch Joel unleash a ton of tech stuff at Le Taz in Montreal.

Dillon Lloyd, not even sure what to say here but you already know this is amazing. Dill filmed nearly all of this edit in his hometown of Montreal with Vlad. Coming off a rough summer (nagging wrist unjury) last year, Dillon is back stronger than ever. Congrats Dill!

old style hats

We just dropped some new hats in our online store that pay tribute to our favourite brew; Old Style Pilsner. A favourite of Terry and Deaner, Old Style Pilsner was originally brewed in 1926 in Lethbridge, AB, then quickly spread to the rest of Western Canada. Today you can find it in various provinces across the country.

Our new 5 panel hat is available in olive green or black, and features 100% cotton construction with an adjustable nylon strap on the rear with a clip. Embroidered in Toronto. Each colour is limited to only 25 piece. Check out some more photos of them below, then head over to the store to buy one before they are gone.

Chris Silva says he’s not getting any younger (he just entered level 3) and hates sitting on old footage, so he decided to upload his section from the latest ICC DVD that premiered just last month. This part is almost entirely full of cell phone footage, and look for plenty of tricks out of full pipes that you wouldn’t expect. You can go back and read out interview with him about this DVD here and pick up a copy of it on the ICC webstore for just $3.50.
