If you live in Ontario or Quebec you’re going to want to set this in your schedule. Brose jams have really grown into one of the best annual Canadian BMX dirt events over the years and this year is sure to be the best one yet. They have really been putting in work expanding the dirt jump lines over the past few weeks and the lines look amazing. For more info check the site here and find them on Facebook.

ICC poster

This coming Saturday, June 14th at Dufferin Grove Park in Toronto, Chris Silva will be premiering the 5th in the series of Inner City Circle videos. Come out when the lights in the park go off around 11:00 and Chris will have his pirate premiere set up and airing his video in the open for everyone. Copies will be available, along with limited ICC merchandise. This is a public park, so please no bozo behaviour if you want events and places like this to continue to happen.

With a new video coming out, and an ICC archive website launched, I thought I’d ask Chris a little bit about this project, ICC history, and more. Read what he had to say below, and we’ll see you at the park on Saturday.

Here’s a random photo from my archives of Brent Smith’s silhouette in front of the dilapidating half pipe at FDR in Philadelphia, PA one morning when we were doing shows in nearby Allentown, during the summer of 2008.

Dan Cox – Tomorrow We Work

With freecoasters almost more common than cassettes these days, there are two coaster pioneers who proved to be years ahead of their time.

Dan Cox still stands out as one of the smoothest coaster riders today (along with the guy below). Dialed riding mixed with awesome filming and good style meant anything you ever saw from Dan Cox was a treat to watch. Today they work, but a little while back Joe released this awesome Dev edit showing everyone the 9-5 club still shred when they have the time to.

Ian Schwartz – Up Up and Away

It’s arguable that Ian Schwartz was a decade ahead of his time. When most were sending themselves down rails, Ian was cruising the streets pegless and backwards. Ian always saw things from a very different angle, a very unique and amazing angle. I remember him halfcabing the super tall flat rail at Metro Jam after a few tries, in between everyone else run for no other reason than he wanted to see if he could get do it. His humble attitude and genuine love for riding always made him super fun to watch ride, BMX misses you Ian.
