THE NORTHERN EMBASSY

With all the recent Hango-Mania I thought I would re-visit this video that we posted over three years ago. Jeremy spent a weekend with Jordan Hango and in just two short days he had enough to put this edit together. It was also the first time he even rode the Woodyard ramps. Much has changed in three years, but Hango is still pedalling really fast, and going much higher than most other riders.

Now for more current Hango offerings, may I turn your attention to the incomprehensibly scary photos below shot by Dave Scott. A terrifying ledge ride to fence hop on the left, and a wallride to anal sphincter releasing drop on the right. You can see them larger over on the Open Liquor website.

Matt Desson nose manual by Zach Rampen

Matt Desson lets nosie loose on a dumpster in East Van. This was the last cruise of 2012 for myself and probably the last sunny day for Vancouver in 2012. How bout that computer blue???

Kevin Gauci is one of the unlucky dudes who are currently off the bike due to injury. Here are some clips Jack Leonard filmed of Kevin in London,ON before he messed up his knee. Alot of awesome/ original riding in here. Heal up for spring homie!

Finally James Dean shows us what he’s been working on in international waters. Mike Carroll blasts some QP’s and roof drops around Victoria and Vancouver, like the good ol’ country boy that he is. And to pull it all together, some exuberant lifestyle clips showing his Praty boy image.

Cory Wiergowski CDP

Chase Davidson had a busy 2013. Upon graduating, he drove/moved from Southern Ontario to just outside Vancouver BC, which apparently still wasn’t a big enough year for Chase as he then made the decision to move to Japan and work at the British Hills ski resort. Up until 2013 I knew Chase could kill it on a bike, what I didn’t know was how much he could kill it behind a lens. Chase has taken countless amazing pictures in the past couple years and he has graciously chosen some of his favorites to be featured on our site. Along with a short write up as to why each photo means so much to Chase, read on to see some amazing photos which will surely brighten your day.

“This is the first photo I ever had published in a magazine (DIG BMX Magazine March/April ’12 issue 87) and also the first time I’ve travelled by plane to stay with Detroit homies Cory Wiergowski and Nick Bullen at the scum house in Peoria, Arizona for three weeks. This photo is of Cory’s bike chillen in one of the many ditches we rode throughout my stay.”
