THE NORTHERN EMBASSY


The first and only rule of our Embassy X Etnies 5 clip edit is there must be 5 riding clips, everything else is up to you. Brandon Webster hooked up this dope edit that his buddy Justin Browne filmed and edited. Thanks homies!

Remember, the deadline for the contest is June 1st, get on it and win some fresh Etnies softgoods/kicks!

Not gonna lie, having Jason Enns footage on the Embassy vimeo feels pretty surreal! Enns was nice enough to let us host up a bunch of rad raw footage that he filmed in Vancouver through 2007-08 with Surrey Steve. SO pumped on this, thanks to Jason and Surrey for this.

***open to residents of Canada only***

Chijioke Okafo has had a few bad summers now and bad luck with some serious injuries in the last couple of years. Now he’s back in the game and healthier than ever. He met up with Chris Silva one afternoon to film this quick edit at our favourite ramshackle skatepark in one of Toronto’s west end neighbourhoods. If the video is telling of anything then he hasn’t lost a thing. We also asked him a few questions about his injuries and recovery, so read his interview below along with a couple recent photos shot by Mike Headford.
