THE NORTHERN EMBASSY

This might be the corniest thing I’ve ever said/written in my entire life but honestly all 6 of these edits are winners. It was really tough to chose just one, each edit is so awesome in it’s own way. Read on to see 6 awesome videos, including the winning edit.

First and foremost a HUGE thanks to everyone who made or helped in some way make an edit for this contest! We received a bunch of amazing edits which made it really hard for us to decide a winner. We’ve narrowed it down to the top six edits, which will be posted on Monday and the winner will be announced out of the final six. I can honestly say that every single edit we received was awesome in it’s own way. Read on to see a bunch of amazing edits, in no particular order, that unfortunately didn’t make the top six and be sure to check back Monday morning when we announce the finalists and the winner!

The 2012 Gnar Jam is going down this weekend at Skatepark West (Sturgeon rd. & Silver Ave.) in Winnipeg. BBQ, Gnarbar, footdown and good times, if your anywhere near Winnipeg this weekend get out to this!

“Every year around 100 riders from across BC gather at Parksville skatepark for the GT jam to remember Justin Gair who died in a drunk driving accident in 2006 (the name GT Jam came from the GT Dyno Justin rode). The jam is on its 7th year, and I’m sure everyone would agree that each year was more awesome than the last. Even though I never had the opportunity to meet Justin it’s a great way to remember someone who was liked by so many. Rest In peace Justin.”

***There will be many more GT jams to come***

The other week Phil Bartlett, Sean Slade and Jon Fennelly flew out from Newfoundland to Toronto to ride the city for a while. Phil got broke off on a dirt jump near the end of their trip and flew home early, but they managed to get a lot riding in throughout different parts of the city. Check out this edit from their trip, put together by Chris Langoid.
