You may have already seen this posted elsewhere but we’re putting it up anyway for a few reasons. 1. It’s an awesome edit, 2. It was filmed and edited by one of Canada’s best, Brad Hill (who designed our anchor logo) 3. because the boys at Animal are best kind and 4. because it features a bunch of Canadian shralpers. Watch this if you haven’t already.

Yesterday was Chris Silva’s birthday, Happy Birthday Chris! Chris is one of our judges for our Summer of Fun Contest and this is his ridiculous part from the Sour Fever DVD.

It’s Canada Day, so to help celebrate here is a photo of our pal Greg Flag standing in front of a sign for the Trans Canada Highway when he was visiting the Martitimes. He’s wearing our Embassy 1 Year Anniversary hat that we made back in November, which was designed after the iconic signage that runs from coast to coast. We have been getting a number of requests for the hat lately, but it has long since sold out everywhere. However, check back tomorrow and we will have two new products that we’ve been working available in our online store, so keep your eyes peeled, and have a great Canada Day!

Back in May we posted about out friends Patrick and Leland cycling across Canada. Shortly after, Jason Vawter sent us this photo he shot when he spotted the pair stopping in Hedley, BC for a water refill. He had noticed Leland’s Embassy hat attached to his panniers and remembered our original post about their trip. By now they have made their way clear across central Canada, and even stopped in Winnipeg and borrowed bikes from our web tech Cory Beal to do a little bit of BMX riding for a change. They should be on schedule to head in to northern Ontario, so keep your eyes out if you live in the eastern half of the country as you might spot them. Make sure you follow both Pat and Leland on their blogs.

It’s not everyday that a BMX DVD drops, and even less often for a completely independent Canadian DVD to drop. Needless to say when we caught wind of Business, a BMX DVD out of Halifax Nova Scotia, we were pretty stoked! We hit up Byron Kutchera and Ian Fleming to get all the details on the dvd and the making of. Business premieres this friday in Halifax, read on for more info on that as well.
