THE NORTHERN EMBASSY

As good as it is, the web is a black hole, where great edits can be forgotten in days. Every Thursday we’ll be featuring an edit that is/was rad and deserves more shine time. Starting with Vancouver’s Chris Smith and this beauty from 2010, filmed by Surrey Steve. Chris is a legend to say the least, I can’t think of too many guys who have been a part of the Vancouver scene longer than he has. Chris’ riding has always been fast, dialed and super fun to watch.

If you have an edit in mind that you feel should be posted up under our TBT, send it via the contact & submissions page.

Scraps that didn’t make it into the Jabtape, as well as some other homeless clips collected here and there.
Featuring the Lifestyle Ikonic Crew and the one and only CA$HMAN as himself.
Film: Everyone

 Back in February of this year I had the hopes of starting a BMX ‘zine, more or less to fill the gap that opened up due to the disappearance of The Union Press. With that inspiration, it wouldn’t have made any sense for me to not hit up the man behind it, Brad Hill. For all those who don’t know, Bobby has been pushing Canadian BMX through his involvement with BMXFU & The Union Press for many years. He’s more recognized for his work behind the camera rather than in-front of it, which is a damn shame because the man can do one hell of a peg-chink. This Bike Check & shit-shooting session was thought to be lost but, due to the miracle that is modern email, it was recovered. Give it a read and then go watch the original Bobby’s Mixtape if you have a brain & some spare time.

This year for our annual Business trip we decided to head to Toronto, with the plan of stacking some clips for Business 2. We ended up having an incredibly productive trip so decided to put together this video of the time we had and release it on the web. I’m stoked on our crew for killing it riding and partying, one of my favourite trips to date. Don’t forget to check the gallery of disposables we shot during the trip.

Enjoy!

Think Corey Walsh only knows how to ride through complicated obstacle courses? Think again. Brad Hill sent over these two images of Corey blasting and jumping at Hastings in Vancouver.

Also check below for footage from this past weekend’s Texas Toast contest in Austin where Corey was the first rider to successfully make it through the Gauntlet of Death. Congrats!

Yesterday was the first UP NORTH JAM and despite the cold weather, a ton of rad dudes came out to shred. Huge thanks to Ty at 3ride and also Eclat for helping make this event happen. Also thanks to Repset and Sleek for hooking up some softgoods.

Saguenay, QC’s Olivier Croft kills it! This was filmed over a three month period and is surely just a sign of what’s to come from Olivier.

Filmed and Editing : Evans Murray

Matt Comeau hooked up this Moncton, NB park edit with some rad stuff from Andrew Phillips, Matt Comeau, and Chad Wright.
