If you are anywhere on the West coast, get to 3Ride North Van this friday to meet Nathan Williams and Devon Smillie!! They’ll be there at 3pm, BBQ/session at 5pm.
Featuring Amos Franke and Brandon Van Dulken with some night moves, in downtown Vancouver’s Skate Plaza.
Chase Davidson basically took any excuse you could possibly have had to not film a 5 clip edit and ended up with one of if not the most creative edit of the whole contest. Limited spots in the France alps, no one to film him, all of which didn’t even matter because he killed it in this!
Huge thanks to Etnies for sponsoring this contest, Chase will have some new kicks and softgoods heading his way shortly. It should also be mentioned that Etnies was kind enough to hook up an additional two prize packs so a couple lucky dudes will win a brand prize pack and some additional goods from Etnies!
A big thank you goes out to Etnies for hooking up some shoes for our five Clip Fever prize pack. Amos Franke reps Etnies in Canada and takes you on a cruise around Vancouver.
If you haven’t started filming yet, you’re slippin’! Film your own five clip for a chance to win!

It’s the home stretch, March. After what’s been a brutal winter, most of us are hopeful that this month will be more spring like than winter like. To help bring in spring, we’ve teamed up with Etnies to help you win a fresh pair of Etnies Marana shoes, so you can toss away the old, salty, stinky shoes you’ve been wearing this winter and start spring off on the right foot.
The contest rules are very simple, tell us what you’ve been doing to stay sane this winter. You must follow Etniesbmx on instagram as well as NorthernEmbassy. You can post it on instagram or facebook (using #NEWinterBlues), or else on youtube, vimeo or even email it to us (NorthernEmbassy@gmail.com). It can be a picture, description, video, whatever, the rules are pretty open. It can be you riding indoors, you riding outdoors, playing hockey, snowboarding, whatever you’ve done to keep busy while anxiously awaiting to ride outside again. Be creative and the winner gets a pair of one of the best riding shoes out there.
The contest is running from March 1st to March 31st, with the winner and honorable mentions getting posted on the site shortly after March 31st.
Good Luck!
Around this time last year, Amos Franke was pretty under the radar in Canada. The people who have known Amos, know he’s had some exceptional abilities on a bike for sometime. The eternal Nelson hippie, combats his typecasting, with the dedication of an Kenyan endurance runner. It’s great to see Amos getting the support he deserves, through great companies like Etnies BMX and MacNeil Bikes. Look out in 2015, as this is just the appetizer to the smorgasbord of footage Amos is sitting on…
Do you or a buddy need a new bike? The good folk over at Etnies/ Timebomb have partnered up with us to give away this beauty Etnies X United Colab bike! It couldn’t be any easier, all you have to do it tag a picture on Instagram with #ETNIESGIMMIETHATBIKE, follow @etniesbmx, @timebombtrading and of course @northernembassy and give a reason as to why you or your buddy deserve the bike and it could be yours! Share this with your buddies and spread the word.
****UPDATE, DEADLINE is this Friday November 22nd, get on this fast!!*********
