In the middle of the city of Toronto, known for its street riding, lays Dufferin Grove Park, or Duff Grove as it is commonly known. Full with a community garden, bone fire pits, and a Thursday evening farmer’s market, it also contains a make shift wooden park that bike riders and skateboarders make the best of. Certain times of the season it may be in total disrepair, and other times it may seem like it is running smoothly. Made of mostly donated ramps (one of which is from us) and rails, the community pitches in where they can to keep this place going.
It’s not a glamorous spot by any means, but it is where you will often find riders looking for a mellow session without having to pedal far, hanging out with their friends without much concern. From locals to riders visiting from out of town that day, it’s our warm up spot, meet up spot, or just where we unwind after a work day. It’s probably the one spot I ride the most all summer long, and some evenings I would pull out my camera from my pocket and try to film a bit of what an average night there is like. Check out this short video of assorted stuff I filmed this past summer with Chijioke Okafo, Trent Barker, Chris Cadot, Greg Henry, Lee Dennis, Brandon Webster, and Chris Silva.

Brandon Webster is damn good. This edit was filmed within a few hours, in typical effortless Brandon fashion. This is daily Brandon riding and is a sign of what’s to come from him. Looking forward to seeing alot more from this kid.
Some of Canada’s finest riders right now: Dillon Lloyd, Brandon Webster, Drew Bezanson, Mike Gray and Ben Kavanagh are featured in this Nocturnal V2 Joyride edit by Justen Soule.
Brandon Webster has a quick interview on BMX Union right now where he talks about all his recent traveling, sponsorships, and influences in his few short years riding. He’s leading the charge of a growing number of young and humble riders that seem to learn everything on their bike very fast, and we are psyched for all of his success. This is also a good time to mention that he won a spot for this summer’s LA X-Games with his Red Bull Phenom entry. Congrats Brandon!
Webster is the dude. Brandon went down to Austin this past spring to film a ‘Welcome to Odyssey’ video, and the edit does not disappoint. The move on the pillar at 1:37, wow.
A few weeks ago I was at what is arguably one of the worst, but my favourite, skate parks in Toronto and it seemed like everyone that is local to there was out riding. Then Brandon Webster and Mike Gray showed up with Justin Browne and the camera came out. Justin Browne put together this solid short edit with Webster, Chijioke Okafo, Chris Silva, and Chris Cadot. You can also check out the video with Chijo we did at the same park here, and look for something we are working on based on Duff Grove later this summer. If you are near the park (Dufferin Street, just south of Bloor) look for a new ramp we will be donating there next week.
The first and only rule of our Embassy X Etnies 5 clip edit is there must be 5 riding clips, everything else is up to you. Brandon Webster hooked up this dope edit that his buddy Justin Browne filmed and edited. Thanks homies!
Remember, the deadline for the contest is June 1st, get on it and win some fresh Etnies softgoods/kicks!
I know the indoor edits have been plenty on here lately, especially from Joyride 150, but it’s been a harsh winter and you’ve got to survive any way you can. On top of that, this new edit of Brandon Webster hits in all the right places with a fury of technical tricks. So many good lines in this video, and I hear rumour of a 3 way split Joyride edit involving Webster and other young talent coming soon.
