The boys over at 3Ride hooked up some info on the Quetico jam that is happening this weekend. Apparently Mike Heaton has transported a bunch of ramps (including the old Metro ramps) just past Thunder Bay, ON to Quetico private school. Who wouldn’t want to ride some of the old Metro ramps? For more details on the jam click here or check the Facebook link here.

Here’s a new video of low-fi oddness from Riley McMaster. A mish mash of riding and all kinds of footage edited to a home recorded song. Watch it and mellow out man.

This is also a perfect time to mention that Riley is now a regular contributor to this site. Those of you that keep a close eye have probably already figured that out, but we are fans of Riley’s brand of writing, photography, videos, and the creative projects he releases in general, so it was a no-brainer to bring him on board. This just means more rad shit to share with everyone in the future. Welcome aboard!

Brandon Webster has a quick interview on BMX Union right now where he talks about all his recent traveling, sponsorships, and influences in his few short years riding. He’s leading the charge of a growing number of young and humble riders that seem to learn everything on their bike very fast, and we are psyched for all of his success. This is also a good time to mention that he won a spot for this summer’s LA X-Games with his Red Bull Phenom entry. Congrats Brandon!

As part of a summer tradition, a large number of us are heading out on a roadtrip tonight. Last year, we went East to Montana and this year we’ll be exploring the oddities that are the skateparks of the Oregon Coast. To make it a bit more interesting, we’ve split into two teams for the BMX Gallery Ride to Glory Contest.

Keep an eye on the Embassy Facebook page for a few updates along the way and watch for some content on the site later this summer. For now, check out the video from last year’s Montana trip, posted above.

Last month a small contingent of BMXFU folk took a trip to Akron, OH for a quick weekend of riding, filming, farting, and drinking. Trent Barker shot photos along the way and today we bring you a small gallery from their time there. Check out more after the link below.

A few weeks ago, a big FU crew drove down to Akron and spent the weekend grinding big rails and bigger women. Beers were drank, tits were sucked, farts were whiffed, and we rode a little bit too. I shot a few photos in between sampling the many wonderful beverages that Ohio gas stations had to offer.

JT uploaded a lengthy mix section from the Blazeguard DVD and this shit is good. Blazeguard level filming/editing, chill soundtrack, and super good riding from Travis Sexsmith, the Bolter Brothers, Zac Miner, Jason Teet, and a whole lot more. Jase.
