“This is Mr. John Heaton. Bars near Simon Fraser University. The footage of this is in the Volume video On the Clock. This photo was on the back of the DVD case.” – Dave Hawthorne

If you go to this spot, you have something big in mind. You’ll recognize the rail in the background that Jay Miron did rail to rail on. The above photo was another ridiculous trick that went down at this spot. Another awesome photo via Dave Hawthorne, thanks again for hooking these up Dave, their so good.

“This is Marc St.Hilaire, railride to 180.  I took this photo the other day. He is one of those guys whose style comes very naturally. Marc has a construction company that hires a lot of the Winnipeg BMXers, so sometimes he gets too busy to ride, but he is so comfortable on his bike you’d never know it.”

Jason Vawter hooked up a few pictures from the RAD 25th Anniversary this past weekend in Cochrane, AB.

“The RAD Jam was amazing! Big turn out! Lots of riders and spectators, the 14 and under class was bad asss! So man pint size shredders killin the bowl at the Cochrane park. My favourite by far was the master class throw down! With the RAD re-union the night before it was really cool to see the guys that were the influenced and inspired the most by RAD get together and just have some fun on a bike. Bmx Gallery in Calgary AB and 1664 bmx distro did an amazing job putting together a solid jam!”

“The other night I was completely asleep at three in the morning when Matt Desson called and said he and his crew were going to drive to Winnipeg to hit up some untouched spots.  In the mix of the conversation he mentioned this wheel chair rail as one of the spots he wanted to ride, and made a direct reference to this Brooklyn Price’s photo.  It is one of my favourite photos. Brook can make relatively simple tricks look rad.  A stylish bunnyhop is timeless but a few years ago, when this was shot, the stylish bunnyhop was not as current – think today’s Andrew Jackson’s tuck, or Dakota Roche’s Euro table.  Brook’s working in Edmonton right now. Someone lend the man a bike for a few days, get him back into the thick of things.
Desson, by the way, ended up not coming to Winnipeg.”

“If you’re around the old city hall in Vancouver go and check this gap. Ruben Alcantara gap off the top bench on the right to wall ride. This was shot during the filming for Grounded. That’s John Heaton filming on right, and if you look close you can John Povah getting another angle on the left. The main filmer was Waterpipe who was Teen-wolfing down the street on the roof of the van. As you tell he’s nowhere to be seen.

Ruben hung up a little on the edge of the door, got a flat, but rolled out of it, which is why the clip didn’t make the video. This photo originally ran in Ride UK.”
