Start your day off with a little Diller. Dill’s been on Vans for a while now but here’s his welcome to edit. Dill filmed this between rain in Vancouver, with a busted foot, over 3 weeks.
What better way to mark Canada Day on this site than posting a photo of Dillon LLoyd cranking a mean turndown at the Woodyard with a Canadian flag blowing off to the side. Photo by Marc Boudreau. Happy Canada Day everyone!
Dillon had a layover day in Vancouver Saturday May 25th, on his way from Montreal to Hong Kong for the Eclat Kings of Kong trip. He actually did a fair amount of drinking the night before, which lead to a layover/hangover Saturday.
What started out as a rainy day ended up being an awesome day, between finding a bunch of dry spots and riding with some good friends/Canadian legends, we made the best of Dillon’s Vancouver layover/hangover.
Here’s one we’ve been saving since last summer because of how crazy it is…another NBD from Dillon that is sure to get alot of attention.
Montreal’s youth/Imported crew coming through with a dope winter Taz edit featuring a bunch of young MTL shredders including Jordane Dubois, Justin Hughes, Dillon Lloyd, Turik, Kamil, Vlad, Carlos, Dave, Kev, and Max. Filmed and edited by Vlad P.
It’s that time of the year where the majority of the BMX population invades the small town of Tallin, Estonia for arguably the biggest BMX contest of the year, Simple Session. This year has a strong contingent of the new generation of Canadian shredders with Dillon Lloyd returning for the second time, along with first timers Brandon Webster and Mike Gray. This event is comprised of a who’s who list of the top riders around the world, so it’s great to see such strong Canadian talent included. Like past years, they will be streaming the event live online all weekend here, or you can catch all the highlights and best-of edits that will surely be pouring in online next week. Good luck to our countrymen!
I am by no means a talented filmer or editor, but I do pull out my point and shoot camera (or in most cases my phone) from time to time to record. I collected a bunch of random stuff I had filmed between January 2012 and January 2013 and put together this short video.
In the last year I visited both ends of the country to stay with friends and made plenty of new ones, as well as had numerous friends come and stay with me in Toronto. At times I may jokingly call myself an old man and complain about my aches and pains, but when I look at my life and the people I surround myself with I cannot help but feel young and invigorated. This video is full of those people and places, as well as a few cute animals.

Our history with Dillon Lloyd runs deep. Deeper than the 2nd place section for The Hunt that we worked together on last year. I remember him since he was a 12 year old boy at the skatepark with food stains and crumbs all over him, riding better than the guys twice his age, and Jeremy’s history with him runs even deeper. All that makes us even more stoked and proud that he just got the bump to the Éclat pro team to a roster of some pretty heavy hitters. One could say that he is carrying a torch for a new generation of Canadian riders on the world stage now. Check out this amazing video filmed largely by (occasional Embassy contributor) Sean Cooke, and put together by Jeremy Deme.

Here’s a quick one, Dillon Lloyd lays down one line, 5 tricks at Joyride 150 in their new street section. Filmed by the one and only Prashant Gopal on a vintage video camera.
