THE NORTHERN EMBASSY

There’s a good chance our site will be a bit slower over the next 2 weeks, as most of the Embassy contributors will be in Barcelona for our Embassy Vacation. We will be doing trip updates from Barcelona and will still be checking our Embassy email (northernembassy@gmail.com) for submissions so feel free to hit us up and check back for updates/ news on the trip over the next 12 days.


You probably remember Zach Rampen for his Slade edit, and 2011 mix edit, in the above edit we get to see Zach shred in front of the lens rather than behind. This edit is dope for alot of reasons but I’m really feeling the Salmon Arm/ chill BC atmosphere/ good song, along with all the sick shit Zach does throughout. Thanks for hooking this up Zach.

This is crazy, Devon hooked up this edit of Richard Gallant kicking the shit out of a bunch of Calgary rails. There’s a couple of backward kink rails in this edit, a full speed 360 over a rail, and a bunch more crazy shit that you’ll want to spend the next 3 minutes of your life watching. Check it!

Dave Hawthorne sent over this dope photo: “Jason Enns over feeble to hard 1, I shot this a few years ago when Jason was living in Winnipeg, right before he moved to California. The mind strays to friends in warmer climes when the winter starts to buckle down.” Thanks Dave!

We posted about a trip to Barcelona that several riders from Ottawa and Sudbury made back in August, but Chris Chitaroni let me know what’s going on with all that footage he collected.

I’ve had a couple of people ask me what happened to the Barcelona footage, and after sifting through and organizing the nearly 100 gb of footage that was shot on the trip I’ve finally started editing it. It will be included in the ‘Landozine X’ DVD pack scheduled to be released sometime in February to commemorate ten years of Landozine videos. Here is the the trailer. It’s 2 minutes long, and I didn’t really even use any of the best clips. The full video is going to be gnarly.
