Trent Barker is the man behind the lens, and here he proves he’s the man in front of the lens. The edit was cut short, and you’ll see why. The last clip caused Trent to get 30 stitches, 20 staples and 2 pins in his foot. Heal up quick Trent and get shredding again soon. Thanks for hooking this up.
We posted a studio tour with painter Pat Krzyzanowski back in February, and now the show he’s been working towards is set for September 9th in New York. If you are anywhere near New York at the time you should make it a point to check out the show. It will be up all month long. You can also check out some of the work on his new site here.
Phil Bartlett hooked up this newf edit of him and his boys back in St. John’s. Put together by Sean Slade. Iphone clips + Gopro clips = Ant Life.
Dillon Lloyd blasting a t-bog on the new 9ft at the Ron Mercer’s Woodyard, the best backyard ramp in Canada without a doubt. Click for full-res.
Our homie Gustav Ekelund hooked up this photo he took of his swag hat at Garibaldi lake, BC last week. This was taken at a 3,000 ft elevation and I couldn’t agree with Gustav more on this: “This is a photo I took on a hike to Garibaldi lake just outside of Whistler. I thought it looked kinda cool, showing how fucking beautiful Canada is.” Thanks for hooking this up Gustav, we probably don’t say this enough but if ever anyone anywhere has anything they want to send in or work on, hit us up @ NorthernEmbassy@gmail.com.

Jason Vawter hooked up a few pictures from the RAD 25th Anniversary this past weekend in Cochrane, AB.
“The RAD Jam was amazing! Big turn out! Lots of riders and spectators, the 14 and under class was bad asss! So man pint size shredders killin the bowl at the Cochrane park. My favourite by far was the master class throw down! With the RAD re-union the night before it was really cool to see the guys that were the influenced and inspired the most by RAD get together and just have some fun on a bike. Bmx Gallery in Calgary AB and 1664 bmx distro did an amazing job putting together a solid jam!”
