THE NORTHERN EMBASSY

Dorian Giordano is a boss. This was all filmed before Dorian’s 13th birthday, the future is very bright with this young man. If you haven’t had the pleasure of riding with/ meeting Dorian yet, make it a point to. Best attitude, tons of skill/talent, making Mount Albert, ON/ Canada proud!

Another sick one from Justin Schwanke and co. As Ian mentioned on their last edit, you can always count on original goodness from these guys and this edit is no exception. “Weird & Revered is an adamant supporter of equality as indicated in this latest cinematic production. Say no to discrimination.”

As BMXers we travel countless KMs to ride new spots, parks and trails. Our girlfriends and non riding friends have to endure our stopping and scoping of spots when they have absolutely no idea what or why we are looking at these things. We know/knew that a family summer vacation is also scoping new spots along the way and hopefully bringing your bike along (if you’re parents are that cool).

Although we look at cities and architecture in a much different way than those who don’t ride, an interesting and scary thought is to imagine if these things did not exist. Imagine if handrails were never made to help people down stairs. Imagine if cement/ asphalt was not across our cities but rather gravel and grass (@rodeopeanut). Imagine what’s to come which we have not yet seen.

Here are some interesting dates and history on some terrain we ride and maybe take for granted today.

This Dillon Lloyd era was a little more leanz and a little less gainz. He was loving SD footage, living in Van and then Cali, chose a non rap song, still rocking a cassette hub, 2-3 pegs, the early Dill days really. The only thing that hasn’t changed from then to now is how ridiculous every clip in this is, especially his last truck.

“The Montreal Olympic Stadium is basically a skatepark”. How many times have you heard someone say that? It’s truly is an incredible and legendary Canadian spot with burly, technical and all sorts of awesome stuff to ride.

It seems there are plans to now transform part of it into a skatepark. $750,000 doesn’t go too far in terms of a skatepark but it should be interesting to see what happens.

Does this mean the stadium is no longer considered a street spot? What are you thoughts?
