THE NORTHERN EMBASSY

Jordan Dwan got hooked up with Tioga tires through his bike sponsor FBM and put this video together for them, and it’s safe to say that it’s pretty wild. Filmed by Brad Hill, Charlie Crumlish, Chris Cadot, and of course some self filmed clips. While you’re at it, go back and re-watch his winning entry for our 5 Clip Contest last year.

I’ve seen Ottawa’s Tommy Hains grow from a little boy that rode nothing but the skatepark in his suburb with ease in to a grown ass man that rides just about anything (but still has a strong attraction for his home park) with skill and finesse. Chris Chitaroni put together this edit with footage spanning from 2012 to now showcasing his technical ability. Also, check out our interview we did with Tommy two years ago here.

I’ve always been a big fan of seeing winter as downtime, basically a reason to keep me really stoked to ride outside all spring, summer and fall. The best way to get through the long winter is to keep busy with other projects, whether it be hockey, snowboarding or riding indoors. During the good old Presence days, in the heart of winter, during likely one of my favorite winters, I decided to film a few different edits to have some what of a series drop as soon as spring hit. With an awesome group of friends and the amazing UAB indoor park, it was an amazing winter. You’ll notice some footage of a very young Dillon Lloyd, Another fun fact about this edit is that the taz edit was actually filmed in the first weeks of the Taz being opened.

K.Will came to Montreal for a week and proceeded to shred UAB. I’m pretty sure there’s only a few people out there who have ever done a disaster barspin to barspin out and Kevin did them as good as anyone out there. “What else do you want?”

Filmed in the first 2 spring sessions of the year (as you can still see a bunch of snow on the ground). A lot of these clips are pretty chill, but is there anything better than riding outside after the long winter hibernation?

Joel Marchand is a Taz/MTL local who kills his local park in this edit. Not sure I’ve ever seen a hang ten to barspin before and if you’ve veer ridden the Taz before you know how huge that no hander transfer out of the box jump over the rail and into the quarter is!
