Jaumell is one of the most humble and chilled out people I know; a true OG. This was filmed in spotty fashion all throughout Edmonton this past summer/fall. Jams knocked all these clips out in his trademark nonchalant style that’s truly one of a kind. Stay Mad! -Jared Chilko
Film/Edit: Jared Chilko
Additional Filming: Mike Orita, Riley Abramyk
Music: Pouya “Get Buck (Prod. Rellim)”

Our homies at BMXUNION did this amazing Q&A with Montreal’s Pascal Lafontaine. In case the cold/ winter’s got you down, here’s some motivation, Pascal is a beast and is battling through osteosarcoma cancer/ chemo and the amputation of his leg. Pascal is still shredding despite everything he’s gone through in the past few months which really sheds some perspective. Much respect from everyone here at NE to Pascal!

Braden Beck should be a name you recognize by now, between the interview we did with him a while back, his 2014 edit, his standout section in Let’s get Fistical and now this edit, the Saskatchewan native has mad tech/ fakie skills. Over 270 ice to back over, a nollie feeble 180 to fakie 3 feeble back many smith 180 and a pegs to manual feeble 180 over smith over feeble 180. Yep, that makes no sense while reading it and it’s as impressive to watch, hit play.

I suck at video descriptions, normally I would go with something along the lines of  “I made this video of my friends biking because it’s fun.” But I feel like I could probably say something slightly more interesting about this one. Basically I spent the summer carrying my VX around, annoying as many people as I could to let me film them. After about a dozen mini DV tapes, a broken ribbon cable in my viewfinder and a few trips; (Montreal, Toronto, London and a couple other places) I somehow I ended up with 8 and a half minutes of footage. So thanks to everyone who was down to film something for this! *praying hands emoji* And thanks to the Long Island connects aka The Whammo squad for sending a bunch of awesome clips through. Also massive thanks to Jeremy Deme for letting me premiere this on the site, and for being the man and holding down The Embassy for the last 5 years.

So we had a few ideas for this, one of which was to pick one clip from the over 200 edits we’ve been fortunate enough to create/ host over the five years and create an epic TBT edit but it was simply too hard to choose one clip per edit honestly! Instead here’s a look back on some of our favorites over the years. Do not click this unless you have a good amount of free time, there’s a ton of good ones to enjoy!

Jared Embassy 2

Jared Chilko is a name that most Canadians should be very familiar with. JJ has been a part of/ shredding in the Canadian BMX scene for over a decade now and shows no signs whatsoever of slowing down. Jared also possesses some true Canadian characteristics being humble, down to earth and extremely talented. We at Northern Embassy are very grateful of Jared’s help over the years, from edits, pictures and many other things he’s graced the NE pages with over the years, we are big fans of JJ. Jared has had a busy and life changing year, we caught up with him to get all the details!
