THE NORTHERN EMBASSY

This ridiculous Mike Gray edit premiered at NORA cup last week and caused alot of cheering, with good reason. Rather than drop a bunch of edits, Mike has been stacking for over a year now to create this beaut of an edit. Making Canada proud, filmed/edited by Doeby Huynh.

You had us at “Google does landing in grass count? Who gives a fuck”. Tristan Sweet brings you a dope edit that flows super well, great riding, great filming, great editing.

“And now,
a break from reality
as a collision of light and sound
takes you on a trip
down Easy Street.

Filmed in Vancouver, Burnaby, Powell River and Parksville.

In April, 2010 we posted this editorial on Montreal, and the overall province of Quebec behind years behind all other Canadian provinces skatepark wise. Since then, alot has changed and steps have been made in many areas of the province to have much better parks than in the past. However, Montreal remains problematic with no real outdoor parks. Ask remaining riders of Montreal what the scene is like today and they will say it’s not nearly as big as it should be/ that it is lacking parks in the city.

We are by no means a skateboard site but we are fans of growing scenes and good film work. Dire Skate is an awesome documentary by Dan Mathieu which touches upon the skatepark problems in Montreal, corruption in the city, the moving of the infamous Big-O and more. Click here and give it a watch.

The Cribs dudes are best kind! Every year they take a trip or two and went with Ontario for the latest trip. “Every first week of September the bmx cribs crew hits the road to burn some tires onto a road trip. This years we visit ontatio and pass by gatineau ottawa toronto and st-catherine and then we meet somes bmx fu guys.”
