“This hip over looking downtown Vancouver is on a school roof in an affluent neighborhood just north west of the city. We hit it real early morning to try and stay undetected but our cover was blown by an angry elderly lady who had spotted us setting up. She was yelling and already on her phone. We got the shot,broke down, climbed off the roof and pack up asap. We weren’t 2 blocks away before we passed a police cruiser, lights blazing, head towards the school. We thought we were busted by he blew past us without even a look. Pic by Brian Castillo circa 2003.”

PLUS! cover

Jason just got the cover of BMX Plus with this rad shot. If you look closely you can see a familiar Northern Embassy sticker on the head tube, so sick! Thanks Jason.

The Don himself, Jason Enns, talks about how his obsession with BMX first began as just a young boy, and his attempt to jump over his first set of doubles in Winnipeg, MB. We also get a small glimpse of Jason’s childhood interest in ninjas.

Volume Bikes just posted an awesome new gallery of photos of Jason Enns putting a hurt on a secret barrier spot that he took members of their team too. To make it even better, the photos were apparently shot in a matter of 30 minutes, and a warm-up to his next ‘secret’ spot. If you follow Jason on Instagram you would be familiar with his seemingly daily escapades of spot searching that leave anyone in Canada (or anywhere) suffering the cold climates seething in jealousy. I had a hard time picking my favourite out of the series but settled on this classic Enns-esque invert, but do yourself a favour and check out the rest here.

iPhoneography is a new recurring feature we are starting here, where we ask a rider to share twelve random photos they took on their phone within the last six months. To kick it off we start with Jason Enns, one of Canada’s greatest BMX exports. Jason lives in Norco, CA and has been recovering from a bad knee injury lately, but is always taking photos of the spots, people, and animals around him which make him a great candidate for our first iPhoneography feature. Check out Jason’s photos below, and look for more of these to come in the future.

Another gem from Braeden.

“CLICK 720p. Its hard to carbon date dust. Emptied my old camera and put this together while my leg is broken. Good friends all around. Some of this has already been in the heavy hitter videos but I don’t think they would mind seeing alternate angles. Ride a BMX.

Riders (in order of appearance): Travis McLelland, Cory Amisano, Andy Roode, Mick Bayzand, Corey Clarke, Taylor Ross, Brent Webb, Cam MacCallum, Ben MacPherson, Carl Arnett, Nick Lindstrom, Chris Smith, Matt Thomas, Ronnie Nickerson, Dylan Cameron, Jordan Hango, Dave Laliberté, Jeff Evans, Mat Ridgeway, Matt Desson, Jason Vawter, Lucas Lundy, Jason Enns, Jeff Kemp, James Chevy1500, Ryan Hiebert.”

Not gonna lie, having Jason Enns footage on the Embassy vimeo feels pretty surreal! Enns was nice enough to let us host up a bunch of rad raw footage that he filmed in Vancouver through 2007-08 with Surrey Steve. SO pumped on this, thanks to Jason and Surrey for this.

The second amazing edits to get your weekend started right. Jason Enns still killing it and doing Canada proud. We’re jealous of your Cali weather Jason, but thanks for this amazing edit. It gets us even more stoked for spring.

Ever wonder what Jason Enns doing switch-footed rocket icepicks on a miniramp would look like? You’re in luck.

Allied was a relatively short-lived company founded by Steve Inge, who also started Poor Boy, Mutiny, and the indoor skatepark from the Jomo Pro contests. I had no idea that Enns had a section in this, but it’s pretty awesome. There are lots of clips from Bear Creek when it was a cutting edge outdoor park, and what I think I recognize as Winnipeg street spots. How rad were Basic Whammy Bars?

Jason Enns is one of Canada’s greatest exports to the United States. Despite his US residency, he still always shows his love for his home country of Canada, and shows his support for Embassy by wearing one of our t-shirts. Check out this quick rundown of his five favourite songs for Volume Bikes, and pop by our online shop to grab one of our summer tank tops before they are all sold out.
