THE NORTHERN EMBASSY

A while back we hit up a bunch of FU members to get some words ready for the Launch of FU5: Guy Stuff. We asked them to put together a quick paragraph on basically anything about the filming of FU5. The dvd is officially available in Canada now and is likely to get alot of attention real soon, it is by far the best of the FU series. Something that is consistent throughout FU5 and all the FU dvds is that the FU homies have alot of fun riding bikes together. There’s alot of good riding, good times, good filming and good editing in FU5, keep dvds alive and grab a copy, support guystuff all day.

Union Press is a collaborative project that has been in the works for the last few months between Brad Hill from BMXFU and my ongoing zine series Yo Sick. I am glad to finally say that the first issue is complete, back from the printers, and ready to see the light of day. Our aim with this publication was to make a tangible extension of our interests with photos, writing and illustrations, and to highlight some interesting characters in Canadian BMX that we have the pleasure of knowing. You can expect a two page broadsheet printed on newsprint, with fold out posters from OSS and Macneil. Inside you will find work from Brad Hill, myself and a list of contributors that includes Mike Cardin, Riley McMaster, Eric Marshall, and Nashville’s Andrew White

You can find copies of it in the new year at bike shops across Canada that deal with Ten Pack Distribution. If you don’t have a local bike shop we will have it in online stores soon for the price of shipping. You can check out some more photos of the pages after the jump and hopefully get a copy in your hands soon.

Here’s a random Barcelona photo that will surely make everyone on the trip wish they were back there, and everyone else in Canada look forward to summer/ the end of this white stuff and below zero temperatures.
