Watch Colin ride Winnipeg like no one has in his welcome to Cult edit! Colin has been under the radar for a while now and I’m stoked to see he has found a home with Cult. Cheers Colin!
Last Saturday January 9th, the first annual Joyride 150 X Northern Embassy Canadian Street Invitational was held.
The idea was simple, invite 10 amazing Canadian pros who live in the Ontario/Quebec area and watch them destroy the street room of Joyride 150. We although thought it could be awesome to host an Expert jam before the pros where each pro team would choose one expert.
The experts killed it and two were chosen: Cole Ramseyer and Austin Karker.
Team 1:
Mike Gray
Spencer Ryan
Justin Hughes
Dean Hartley
Gabe Truax
Team 2:
Dillon Lloyd (injured)
Brandon Webster
Greg Henry
Eli Taylor
Ryan Eles
Chijioke Okafo
Austin Karker
Both teams went off but team 1 would be named the champs. The overall vibe/atmosphere of the contest (if you even want to call it that) was amazing. Non competitive, just people stoked to be riding together and chilling together, which is the best. 2017’s will be bigger and better, start planning to come out to next years!
We can’t thank Joyride 150 enough for allowing this event to happen there. If not for Joyride’s expansion and creation of the street room years ago, many Ontario riders would suffer all winter having no real indoor spot to go to. Also thanks to Joyride for whipping up a new rail for the contest. Huge thanks to MC Prashant and Paul Hoerdt, filmers Chris Cadot, Joel Fortin and Mason Gray, all the riders who came out (especially Mike Gray/ Dilllon Lloyd for delaying their trips back to Cali for this event). Last but not least, a huge thanks to all of the sponsors: Haro, WTP, Vans, Eclat, Radio, The Boiler Room, Merritt, Fiend, Federal!
See you next year!!
I first met Eh Roy (Andrew Quibell) while he was working at the indoor skatepark in Nelson, BC. Andrew was always a rider but could also be found fiddling around on his guitar and drums or teaching music lessons at the park. A few years later, Andrew has chased his passion of music and completed his first full album. Excited to hear some more Eh Roy!
Mike Gray and the Haro team make us very jealous of how appealing Puerto Rico looks right now to most Canadians. Mike also kills it with a ton of original clips.
Today we are stoked to bring you this awesome Matt Perrin X Shawn Franz split edit, filmed and edited by Colin Thiessen. These two guys absolutely kill it, add a bunch of sick Winnipeg spots to the equation and this is the result. So good!!

Winnipeg street killer clean up on WPG’s biggest and best spots.”

Southern Ontario’s Dan Cauchi has dropped a banging edit nearly every year for the past few and 2015 might be the most bangin one to date.
Edited by Evan Farmer & Scott Campbell over the last couple months while drinking beer up in Campbell River, BC.
It’s a sad day as we awake to the news of legendary David Bowie passing. Bowie’s music was and still is undoubtedly enjoyed by many BMXers in the world and paved the way to some legendary parts including Kevin Kiraly in Deadline, Greg Flag’s Presence part, Shawn Franz’ welcome to MacNeil section below and so many more. RIP Ziggy
The first NE x Joyride 150 Canadian Street Invitational is in the books and it couldn’t have been better.
The experts killed it, Zack St Clair, Matt Stiehl, Stephane Sum, Mike Depetrillo, Spencer Longo, Jason Kearnan, Lee Giroux, to name a few. Cole Ramseyer got picked by Mike Gray’s team and won a sick Haro SD frame kit, Vans shoes and more. Austin Karker also killed it and got picked by Dillon Lloyd’s team winning the WTP Patron frame kit, Vans shoes and more WTP goods. Both also got the opportunity to ride with the pro teams.
Dillon Lloyd woke up Saturday morning with an unfortunate infection in his finger Saturday which didn’t allow him to ride but Greg Henry stepped into his spot and absolutely killed it, in greasy italian tank fashion. The pros groups were ridiculous, team 1 consisted of Mike Gray, Dean Hartley, Justin Hughes, Spencer Ryan, Gabe Truax and Cole Ramseyer and team 2 consisted of Brandon Webster, Ryan Eles, Eli Taylor, Chijioke Okafo, Greg Henry and Austin Karker, with Dillon coaching. Team 1 (Mike’s team) took the win but both teams absolutely killed it. A few insane NBDs were done, crazy lines, a ton of variety, a tone of rad stuff.
A huge thanks goes out to Joyride 150 for allowing this event to happen in their amazing street room (and even for welding together a sick new rail for the event). I think we speak for alot of Ontario street riders when we say that winters would be completely brutal without Joyride 150’s awesome street room. Not to mention there’s something special about never having to worry about skateboarders or scooters in the way. Thanks for every guys!!
A huge thanks goes to the riders for making it out to this, our judges (Chris Silva, Jeff Evans and Justin Skinner), filmers Chris Cadot, Joel Fortin and Mason Gray, announcers Prashant Gopal and Paul Hoerdt for holding it down on the mics, all the experts who rode, everyone who came out to check it out and of course our sponsors who truly allowed this event to happen: WethePeople, Haro, Vans, Eclat, Radio, Merritt, Federal, Fiend and the Boiler Room.
Check back in the coming weeks for the offical edit of the madness!
