Vlad @ Importedbmx hooked up this dope edit of a bunch of Montreal shredders killing the taz over winter. Featuring Dillon Lloyd, Jordan Dubois, Vlad Poloukhine, and more. Also watch for the Pasquino body/bike check right at the end.
Ryan Davis is showing a selection of paintings at BMX Gallery in Calgary on March 31st. Drinks supplied by Pabst Blue Ribbon. If you’re in the area at the end of the month you should definitely check it out. Also, Trucker Dan presently has some of his work up in the shop until then, so you should stop by the shop now and support events like this.
“Back in the day, Travis Burroughs and I started making videos with the riders around our scene. There were a few different offshoots from the travelling and moving we’ve done, but they’ve mainly been BC centered videos. As a result, we’ve got a ton of old stuff stored up that not too many people have seen. I’ll be uploading everything over the next little while, but I wanted to start off by putting a few of my favorites on Embassy. They feature some household names on the Canadian scene, and the bulk of the footage is from seven or eight years ago.”

Harley Haskett is a name that many Canadian riders have come to know. From helping out with Metro Jams to Ten Pack summer tours and his role as Ten Pack team manager, he has been a part of Canadian BMX for nearly a decade. Like most of us, he has interests outside of riding bikes and one of those is music. His band, Meanwood, recently released their first EP Trials, which is already getting alot of attention in the music world (including mentions from CBC), and recently received an invitation to Canadian Music Fest in Toronto. Read on for more about this Canadian band that you should be listening to.
Matt Thomas hooked this one up, it’s been a while since we got a Stay Mad sticker submission but this is a good one.

Thanks Matt!
Fans of Riley McMaster‘s work should be familiar by now of his zine series, No Bummers. He just released the third and final instalment entitled The Ender of The Bender, in a beautiful wooden cover with a hand sewn leather spine and full bleed colour pages. The quality and care that went in to this project elevates this from merely a zine to a collectors piece. The content is focused on photographs from a cross country bike ride followed by a 3 week van trip across the southern United States. Riley explains it best:
NO BUMMERS 3: The Ender of the Bender. The final chapter in the series that has travelled America back and forth over and over. Spanning over 3 months the content reaches the unexpected events and sights that are experienced by a veteran America enthusiast. Riding a bike from one of side of the continent just to hop in a camper van and take an absurdly extended route back home. Tales of Doing The Most//Touririzing//Freedom//Living in a van down by the river//way more cool stuff.

Yesterday we posted up Chris Chitaroni’s Super 8mm film project Landozine – Quit Wasting My Film, we figured what better timing to get the word out there on Chris’ newest film, Landozine X. Landozine X was released a couple weeks ago and features a bunch of Ottawa locals including Rich Redmond, Jordan Guth, Jay Leroux, Tommy Hains, Kyle Lafleur, Chris Bryan, Jeff Bedard, Chris Chitaroni himself and many others. The main feature of the film is sections from all of these guys with footage from the Ottawa/Ontario surroundings, there’s also a lot of bonus features including a 20 minute film from their 2011 Barcelona trip. The Barcelona section was my favorite featuring interviews/insight from the crew on the trip which really makes it interesting along with all riding and obviously killer Barcelona spots. The DVD is top notch and well worth the $20 it’ll cost you to get your hands on a copy. Support BMX DVDs, and even more so Canadian BMX DVDs, hit up Chris directly for a copy @ chris@chitaroni.com .
Dope welcome to Quintin edit from Lee Dennis by Brad Hill
This is an awesome 8mm BMX film that Chris Chitaroni made a few years back and just recently threw online. Featuring mostly Ottawa/Sudbury locals (and some Chris Silva clips).
“Filmed entirely in Super 8mm, this BMX video features footage from all over the world. Shot on a Chinon Super 8mm camera using a variety of Kodak super 8mm stock. One of the more innovative projects I have embarked upon, I still find it extremely entertaining.”
-Chris Chitaroni.
