Typically we try to avoid sponsorship news on here but this is HUGE! Legendary Canadian Sam Lowe has been added to the MacNeil team. Stoked to see what’s in store for 2013 for these guys.
This is Jason Anthony. Jason Teet took his pegs off for a while and gets ridiculous on a bunch of Van setups you’d ride by and probably not think twice about riding. He also discusses his current rig, put together very nicely by Riley McMaster.
We weren’t able to travel to Austin this year’s Texas Toast Jam, but fortunately for us a handful of Canadian flatlanders were. One of which was Trevor Oleniuk who carried a camera around with him to capture the weekend. He sent over a selection of different photos that he recently developed and a few words about his time in Texas so click below to read what he has to say and check it all out.
Our friends over at 514 BMX held a halloween jam a couple weeks back and it looked like a damn good time. Featuring some clips from Diller, Albert, Jordane, Joel Marchand, and more.
I bet Jeff a ticket to an Oilers VS Canucks game that he wouldn’t come to Barcelona… a few days later (with some help from 1664 and Quintin) he was booked for Barcelona and also going to a hockey game. It’s safe to say Jeff went the hardest of anyone on this trip, from chugging whiskey the first night in Barcelona super jet lagged and out drinking everyone in the house the rest of the time, wrestling/foot stomping people, going hard every night wherever people were heading to, trying to steal Prashant’s bed, Ola-ing the shit out of every girl in sight, shredding hard everyday and making sure every person staying at the Embassy crib got the run through of all of his kitty pictures on his lap top every couple nights, Jeff kept things interesting.
Chris Granger is Diller Lloyd’s boy and he shreds. Chris hasn’t rode much all summer because of injuries and not having a bike. Apparently these are the leftovers from early summer, when he had a bike, get a new bike Chris these are not leftover clips buddy!

It’s getting cooler, wetter, darker and even snowy in spots across Canada. Fall is in full force and winter is right around the corner, here’s a good watch for anyone who enjoys documentaries out there.
Dark Days was created by British film maker Marc Singer and features a soundtrack by DJ Shadow. The film follows a group of people living in an abandoned section of the New York City underground railway system, more precisely the area of the so-called Freedom tunnel which stretches North from Penn station past Harlem. Without giving too much away, Singer lived with the tunnel residents for a number of months, he decided to create a documentary in order to help them financially . During filming, Amtrak announced they would be forcibly evicting the homeless living in the tunnels in order to reroute their trains through the tunnel. This announcement, plus the police presence backing the decision, prompted Singer and photographer Margaret Morton to go to the coalition for the homeless for help. Eventually, Singer and Morton managed to secure housing vouchers from the department of housing and urban development for the film’s subjects, which enabled them to move out of the tunnels and into their own apartments. Cinevision, a New York City camera shop, supplied Singer with cameras for the two-and-a-half years of filming. When Singer ran out of money for film, Kodak supplied free damaged film for the project.
With snow in Calgary, Andrew Schubert had time to put together this dope edit of Colton Ponto shredding in AB this past summer. Colton does a bunch of rad pegless street maneuvers, check it.
