THE NORTHERN EMBASSY

Jake Montgomery coming through with this dope mix of outdoor and indoor early spring shredding. Featuring most of the usual BMXFU suspects, this edit has a dope vibe and will make you even more stoked for an actual spring to hit.

Canadian BMX DVDs are few and far between, but when they do drop they make you really appreciate them. The Sudbury, Ontario crew just dropped You Get What We Got which features full sections from Ryan Eles, Kyle Lafleur, Nick Barnard, Mat Demore, Lee Giroux and Zach Lacelle, plus a bunch more Sudbury shredders. Good on Kyle Lafleur and Ryan Eles for making this happen, and I’m looking forward to seeing it! Hit up Kyle or Ryan on Facebook if you’d like to get your hands on a copy.

I can’t believe this edit is already 2 years old… Jeff and I started throwing around the idea of possibly filming an edit at the time and a few weekends later, this was the result. I can honestly say that I’ve never seen anyone as good at using all 4 pegs as Jeff, everything seems way too regular/natural for him. Jeff has had so many dope edits over the years, I’m stoked to have had the chance to film one of my favorite Embassy edits to date with this Newfoundlander in Vancouver, BC.

Newmarket Ontario’s Mike Gray put together a wild section for last year’s The Hunt video contest, with the help of Justin Soule behind the lens. There’s some serious bangers in here, especially the roof drop clips, imagine dropping that shit more than once. Making Canada proud boys!

Anything that Greg puts out is always amazing, and this is no exception. Add a space theme to the mix and Zach Rampen editing it up and you have one dope ass edit.

“This past Easter long weekend was a perfect chance to kick off spring with a little road trip. Schubert, Darcy, and Isaac headed to the Kootenays with there friends, Sam Jepson, and Aaron Cheng. Good times were had, and they managed to whip up a little mix from the weekend.”

Check out this video of Norco‘s Ben Kaufmann laying down heavy moves at the Brose Farm dirt jumps. When you’re performing shows all the time like Ben you’re doing your hardest tricks three times a day on demand, so watching him let loose on some dirt jumps is a real treat.

This past weekend Brad Hill, or Bobby as he is known, gave me a copy of his new photo book, simply titled Bobby’s Book. Despite sharing his photographs on this site, in the pages Union Press, various BMXFU projects, and the odd magazine publication, he still had an overspill of photographs that deserved to be showcased and shared. He did what few people seem to do nowadays and self published his own full colour zine of photographs of his friends and where he’s from. Each photo steers clear of the all-too-common low fisheye angle exaggeration that is common in BMX photographs. Using a multitude of different analog cameras and films, the images are each laid out with careful consideration to the page’s background and hand written captions are scrawled in marker on scraps of paper. If you wanted to get a physical copy of the book you are unfortunately out of luck, as they are already all gone and spoken for. Despite that, Bobby put up a digital copy that you can flip through, and hopefully it inspires others to shoot more photos and share it with their friends.
