THE NORTHERN EMBASSY

Brandon Van Dulken has really been making a name for himself internationally this past year. For good reason, he rides fast, blasts everything and is smooth as hell. Filmed throughout Australia, Western Canada and Woodward West.

I remember riding flatland with Jason Plourde outside of Montreal ages ago when he was a young and extremely hyper active rider. He had so much speed and creativity then, now fast forward probably 10 years, after plenty of time spent doing shows in China and further progressing his own riding style, I can say that this flatland video is amazing. Plenty of rolling decades (rollaids? my terminology is rusty), fast spins and scuff-less links. We may not post a lot of flatland videos, but when we do you know they are going to be good.

Any Canadian who has actually rode BMX knows that Jay Miron is a legend. For those of us who live in the eastern half of Canada, every spring he gave us an amazing indoor contest to ride and watch some of the best riders in the world, also known as Metro Jams. From Road Fools 5, insane video parts, to Elevation, Jay had a huge impact in BMX in Canada. As much as BMX is being pushed year after year and will evolve with time, things like this boost and the 540, the gap to rail at McGill, the double flip, and more will always be historical and relevant in BMX.

Read on to see the picture of the 540 he also did in the deep end of the Hastings bowl and to see his last full video part which had a few epic last clips that I strongly doubt anyone will ever come close to, ever. As much as Jay has been known to be outspoken in his ideals and beliefs, his riding has always spoken louder and his contributions to furthering BMX in Canada (and globally) cannot be ignored. Long live the Canadian Beast.

What a Monday to be bestowed this awesome video from Mike Gray. A lot of heavy hitter moves from Toronto’s York region to Florida to California and more. Filmed and edited by Justin Browne. Who wants to go eat at the Pickle Barrel?


Part two of Sudbury bmx’s ‘You Get What We Got’ featuring a split part from Matt Rantala and Ky Brisebois, Mat Demore section and a Friends section. Lots of good stuff in this and keep posted for the last section next week with banger sections from Kyle Lafleur and Ryan Eles.

Mathieu Gibeault has strong roots in the early Quebec BMX scene. Although he’s not filming much BMX these days, Mathieu is a rad dude and this demo reel is much more interesting that most. If you’re into film or snowboarding at all, check his site here for a bunch more work from Matt.
