Ottawa’s Rich Redmond has an awesome pool feature on his blog here. Check it out to see a bunch of awesome pool pictures from a bunch of Ottawa locals from the past few years, including the ridiculous funnel/sloped fullpipe thing below.

Sometimes a spot needs a little bit of work to make it that much better. Some spot purists may say that it’s cheating or not real street, but frankly that doesn’t bother me. There are a number of great spots in and around where I live, but modifying one out of a several barriers at the end of my quiet street to have a quick and tight transition seemed like a fun project, and we thought we’d share it with you. Click below to learn how to create a transition on a jersey barrier yourself.

We’re stoked to present to you Dillon Lloyd’s 2nd place video part in The Hunt 2011. This edit represents a super fun 2 months of filming in Vancouver with my boy Dillon Lloyd. I’m sure most of you already know Dillon is an incredible rider, it might seem crazy to say but watching this part now, I feel that some of this footy is actually dated, based on how much more ridiculous Dillon has gotten in the past year. Between killing it at Simple Session and missing qualifying by one spot, 7th place in street at Rebel Jam, crazy shit in our Barcelona DVD, getting hooked up by Eclat, amongst other things, I feel extremely confident to say that this kid has big things ahead. I hope you enjoy this part as much as I enjoyed putting it together with Dillon. If you missed it check this out for a some random pictures from the making of Dillon’s part.
