Last week we announced our Etnies/Timebomb 5 clip contest and we received quite a few emails/questions in regards to the contest, in terms of intro/ music or no music/ filmed in one day or multiple days, extra non riding clips in the edit and so forth. We want the contest to not be restrictive so that you can be more creative, the only thing that is a MUST is 5 riding clips, everything else is completely up to you. Videos will be judged on creativity, originality, riding, spots, filming and editing. The deadline is May 31st so start getting ideas together and get shreddin to win a dope prize pack courtesy of ETNIES/timebomb.

Scott Berwick has been a part of the Chateauguay,QC bmx/party scene for a long ass while (if anyone has ever seen SNUTS he filmed a bunch of Corey Dewey’s part). Scott recently held a photo project where he asked friends to take a picture at exactly 6:30 pm (EST) on Thursday May the 3rd. Scott created the event on facebook 5 days before and he received over 150 photos from people all over. Check it out here and scroll to the right at the bottom of the page to see all the photos he received. Really cool concept and results.

“Over the past 10 years we have been pleasured with such a spot where you can get away with almost anything. The seed was planted and a decade later the trails were fully bloomed. Nobody likes taking their own trails down. Thanks to everyone who made the trek over to be apart of what were once some of the best trails in Canada.”

Patrick Krzyzanowski (who we did a studio tour with before) is one of those people that works really hard at something, can abstain from it for a long period of time, and still retain everything he learned. I could probably count on one hand the number of times I can get him out to ride, but when he does, he hasn’t lost anything. We spent the weekend in the small town of Campbellford, ON, rode their minimal yet fun skatepark, and Pat was able to film a few tricks in no time. Check out this quick 5 trick edit with him (plus a bonus clip), with guests clips from Leland Nightingale and myself (Prashant), filmed on a shaky iPhone.

A huge thanks goes out to Mike and Matt for putting together this amazing Embassy edit. “Original song by Matthew Walser, people who know Matt know that he’s an amazing musician from banging on the drums to making songs on a gameboy he never ceases to amaze.” Mike ‘Boag’ Orita. Filmed and edited by Mike.
