Two homies shralping and repping in this 64 edit from last summer’s trip through Calgary and Edmonton. Jeef and Desson shred, watch this.
Check below for an interview we did with Sam on his signature grips/bars but only after hitting play on this banging edit. Sam is the man, support an awesome Canadian shredder and buy these grips!
The amount of Canadian riders with signature parts today is slim to none. Sam Lowe is one of the few Canadian shredders who has been fortunate enough to have been given a signature bar from Primo, and recently signature grips from We the People (and by fortunate enough we mean he has been slaying rails and putting in work for more than long enough to have well deserved it). We hit up Sam about the process behind signature parts and also to get some insight as to why his signature parts are the way they are. Read on.
John Alden is a shredder and this Ten Pack/BMX Gallery spring edit is proof. Filmed by a bunch of rad dudes, Austin Odegnal, Mike Boag and Matt Walser, John is wearing a rad hat throughout most of the edit and he does a downside handplant on a quarter/extension setup which is completely ridiculous. Watch this if you haven’t already!
Brandon Van Dulken doubling 5 clips at the Queensborough, BC park. Lot’s of crazy tech street in a skatepark in here, filmed and Edited by Shawn Duffield.
My two favourite kooks have left this morning for pretty much the ultimate Canadian adventure. Leland Nightingale and Patrick Krzyzanowski are riding their bikes (not their BMX bikes mind you, but their touring bikes) across Canada from Tofino, BC to St. John’s, NL. They will be spending the next 2.5 to 3 months traveling by bike throughout the Canadian wilderness, camping and sleeping in hammocks. They have both been staples of the Toronto BMX scene for a long time, and watching them prepare for a trip of this proportion has been inspiring to say the least. You can follow their adventures on Leland’s blog Had To Move or on Instagram. If you run across this pair on their journey, feel free to offer them a couch or a warm shower.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen footage of Eli Taylor that hasn’t been amazing. The dude kills it. This was filmed at Richmond Green park in about an hour, filmed and edited by Justin Browne.
The-Rise is holding a BMX/MTB street Jam in Montreal Saturday June 9. If your in the area hit this up, meet up spot is the Wallride spot at the Big-O around noon. Spring is in the air, hopefully we’ll be posting up a bunch more of these type of events over the next few months!
If you haven’t seen our Embajada En Barcelona DVD yet you are missing out. Get a copy from your local shop or here. Above is a quick clip of Dillon Lloyd, with a little motivating from the boys, putting on a small demo for some Barcelona locals. Those tranny’s look way better in video than they felt. Also if you haven’t seen the trailer for our DVD yet peep it below.
