A rad day in Canmore, AB by Eduard Dyck. Canmore has to be up there with the best background of any park in Canada.
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.
Been really stoked to see this for a little while now. Jordan Hickey and Ryan Antle killing it in Florida while on 10 day vacation out of Newfoundland. Filmed and edited by Paul Pike. ANTLIFE
Yesterday was Western Canada shredder Isaac Barnes’ birthday. What better way to start your week off than with some classic Isaac shredding and Jethro Tull. HBD homie
Currently Greg Flag is living in the Republic of Estonia with his girlfriend while she is in an artist residency. I found myself revisiting these MacNeil videos of him from 2013. During second half of last year Greg was dealing with some injuries that put him out of the spotlight for a bit, but he did manage to put out these two great web videos, made by our own Zach Rampen. More and more I find that they very accurately encapsulate Greg as a rider and a person. Seldom very serious, and performing interesting riding on difficult setups. Whether it’s a barrier, public sculpture, rail, or doing a stovepipe out of something, Greg makes it look good when he rides it. While he has been posting Estonian spots he comes across on Facebook, and drinking with the local riders of Tallinn, I know he’ll be back on Canadian soil eventually and we’ll get to see more of this brand of riding, but in the meantime watch these videos.
We’ve linked up Ol Dave Scott before but Dave is constantly updating the site with amazing shots (like the one above of Taylor Elvy). Check the site out to see some really good photos of a bunch of Vancouver locals and of course Hango being Hango.
Mike Gray: San Diego Skatepark Tour – More BMX Videos
If you woke up this morning hoping to watch another California cement park edit, today is your lucky day. Here is part time Canadian Mike Gray riding some San Diego parks.
This great mix of the island boys, I mean “Dads“, was filmed during a road trip through California. Kerr and his buds ended up at a BMX sanctuary in Fresno, CA and camped out. Hang out through the lifestyle segment and watch Mike and Dan shred along with a few homies.
Mike Varga in California – More BMX Videos
