THE NORTHERN EMBASSY

Matt and I intended on filming a full skatepark video between Joyride, Spin and Taz during the week after X-Jam. Instead, we ended up taking advantage of nice weather and riding street, then being lazy at the parks. At Spin we decided to buck up and get at least a nice little five clips done, and here’s the result.

It seems Brad Hill is always working on cool stuff. NE has always focused on BMX in Canada but we also enjoy seeing how talented Canadian BMXers are off their bikes, not to mention a few of us are video/photo nerds. We also love this beautifully country, from Niagara Falls, ON to Deep Cove, BC, Brad captures some really awesome Canadian scenery via super 8 film. To the voice of fellow rider Josh Lichti, covering Big Rock Candy Mountain.

Name the BMX dvd which this song is in and win instant social media fame.

Here’s a new one from Montreal’s Kevin Fabregue dropping a bunch of heat between Le Taz and Joyride 150. Kevin has been hitting the contest scenes across the globe for a little bit now and this video showcases a bunch of bangers from his ever growing bag of barspins and tailwhip combinations.

Filmed/Edited by Vlad Poloukhine

Before you young bucks say or think “another old edit” consider the fact that this was filmed in  2004/2005. A time where not too many, if any riders were doing wallrides to whip, opo feebs hard 180s, opo feebs to whip, pegs to hard, amongst other things. Re live Jetty’s glory days in this one and see how ahead of his time he truly was.

“Deaven just landed a fancy concierge job out in Banff, he filmed this part in between trips out west to snowboard and wreak havoc among his coworkers resulting in an eviction. Feeling like some of the clips he was sitting on were going stale he instructed myself to cook up a little somethin somethin. Mostly filmed in our neck of the woods in hill billy Chatham Kent, Deaven can make something out of pretty much nothing.”

The S&M Dvd is coming and it features a lineup of Canadian heavy hitters: Matt Desson, Isaac Barnes and Andrew Schubert. Filmed and edited by dual citizen Charlie Crumlish, you know this is going to be sick.

 

The kids out in Winkler, Manitoba have been hard at work this winter filming indoors at Christmas park. Lots of really technical grind sorcery in here for all you ledge lovers. Filmed and edited by Ian Peters.

When Silva went out to LA for a couple weeks he told us he was on “vacation”. It sounded fishy because we know how productive Silva is, low and behold he comes through with this awesome pool edit for MacNeil.

“MacNeil Bikes sent me out to Los Angeles for a couple of weeks during the cold Canadian winter. I spent most of my time with Andrew Lazaruk & Rick Thorne emptying out and riding pools. Instead of taking the sessions too serious, I just set my phone on top of whatever was around and recorded some clips. This edit is in exact order of the pools and sessions we had.
Thanks again to Andrew & Rick for taking me along on the adventures, as well as Adam22 and the OSS crew for letting me crash at their house.” Chris Silva
