Stay Glad, it’s summer
We teamed up with MacNeil Bikes to produce two limited edition Northern Embassy branded Fat Cap seats. These seats are a project we have been working on for a while now, and are excited to finally release them. One is a brown synthetic leather that will lighten and fade with use to give your seat a unique appearance. The second is a very grippy and textured black vinyl for those that want to keep their bikes dark. Both seats feature stitching on the nose and rear, our circle logo embossed on the back left, a light weight aluminum bolt and weighs in at 300 grams. Only 70 of each colour were produced, and once they are gone, they are gone for good. For more info, pictures, and a list of shops across Canada that are carrying them visit the Pivotal page we made here, and you can scoop one up in our online store while they last.

Back in May we posted about Trevor Oleniuk’s maiden trip in his new van he purchased and fitted with a bed and living supplies as he set out on a US odyssey. He has long since finished the trip and sent through a few photos and some deep words about what his trip meant to him. Check it all below and you can find more on his site here.

While doing some cleaning in our apartment this evening, my roommate stumbled upon this old clipping from Now Newspaper in Toronto from January 2004, written by Colin Field about the now long defunct ICC Warehouse. While being published almost ten years ago, I think the same sentiment and ideology could be said about any indoor ramp setup anywhere in Canada even now. Take a closer look and read it after the link below.
This past weekend I was in a car driving around Montreal when the topic of how good Max Vincent was/is came up. This Federal video from around four years ago is only a short snippet of that, and certainly not comprehensive by any means, but gives a good indication to the diversity of his riding. Max was the inventor of more than a few moves (Luc-e to 270 for one), would fly over to European contests and win best trick or take first place in mini ramp events, bomb scary hand rails, ride box jump shows, drain a pool or ride a pole jam. He’s a good example for riders to not pigeon hole themselves to any one type of riding. Oh yah, let’s not forget about this video too.
