THE NORTHERN EMBASSY




The first edit in our 10Mins series, Jeff Evans kills a park in only 10 minutes. Check back for more of these edits, they could be a bunch of banging clips like this one, or just 10 mins of random shit at a random spot or park.

Went down to TO for the Notro Jam this weekend, had a blast and caught this photo of homies Wayne Hartman and Harley Haskett reppin Embassy at Sneaky Dee’s, all while ordering a few too many tequila shots. On a side note, one of our friends from Toronto actually thought that was a picture Wesley Snipes on the sticker…

The Toronto International Bike Show has evolved over the years. Like many riders these days, I’ve been going since the La Revolution contest days, seen it transformed to the enormous Metro Jam series, in to the Ricoh Coliseum, and now in to it’s present state as the Toronto BMX Jam. From mega-pros traveling from Europe, Japan, and South America to attend, to Canadian and American riders trekking across the country to get squeezed in to the pro and amateur slots, the event has had it all. I’m not trying to say any specific time period or incarnation of the contest was better than another. They all have had their ups and downs. What does keep me coming back to the show for the first weekend of March every year is the people. After a long winter, the bike show is often the first chance most people have to see each other in a long time, catch up with old friends, make new ones, put faces to names you’ve heard, and for some getting drunk in the stands. I’m not going to try and bore you with a run down of who did what trick, who qualified in what place, or who smashed bottles at the Dance Cave. Those things can likely be found on a number of other sites already (with the exception of the Dance Cave part – those actions go undisclosed). Instead, here’s an offering of photos of some of the people that make attending the Toronto BMX Jam every year what it is.

Tomorow is the first day of Canada’s biggest annual contest in Toronto. Most Ontarians, Quebecers and Easterners will be there wasted, watching some dope riding and having a good time. Prashant and Sean will both be there getting a bunch of pics and footy that should be up shortly after the weekend, so check back. This is the only Canadian contest of it’s kind so props to everyone involved (Mike Heaton and crew) for making it happen. Check here for all the details on the upcoming weekend and don’t forget to hit up Dance Cave.

“I wasn’t going to do a mad Monday today because I’m happy. Day off , Greg Henry’s in town. U know nothing to mad about. So I decided to do adult stuff instead of riding. So one of my friends laugh n say u ain’t no adult (Jason Vawter), this coming from a 30 yr old American fuck.  This American Adult was soo drunk a few weeks ago all he wanted to was wreck stuff, basically in my house there’s now parts from my neighbors cars which an adult decided to remove with the help of four loko, caribou beer, n a few swift kicks. Way to go fuck pants. Steal from the rich not my broke ass neighbors. Fucking Yankee greengo hahhaha.  What I’m mad about right now is the fact some roommates, don’t have the same cleaning standards. Can’t put shit away, leaves they dishes,garbage on the table. Don’t have a clue how to recycle (in Vancouver it’s mandatory ) n these r little things that piss me off. I know my mad Monday readers can relate to this, unless u live at home still n ur problems  focus around getting ur parents outta the house so u can finally beat that pussy up u been wrking on for the last few months. Get sum lil mad Monday pimps, it ain’t soo bad when u mad.” Roode
