John Alden Tag


Not much needs to be said about this besides it was filmed and edited by Austin Odegnal and features a bunch of rad Calgary,AB locals (Kyle Freeman, Richard Gallant, Matt Thomas, Andrew Schubert, John Alden, Darcy Peters, Brad Hannaford, Devon Rohl, Austin Odegnal, and Chay Nelson). It’s rad, press play!

“Filmed mainly in Edmonton, and Calgary with a couple BC clips thrown in. There was no real direction while filming for this, just clipping on any regular session with the homies. There are some old clips, and some new that I just thought fit in place. Thanks to John Alden, James Van De Kamp, Richard Gallant, Mike Orita, Jaumell Campbell, Trucker Dan, Colton Ponto, Darcy Peters, Andrew Schubert, Jake Montgomery, Eric Marshall, Cory Beal, Andrew White Jeremy Bischler, Ryan Spracklin, Sam Jepson, Nick Lemont, and Matthew Walser for the good times, and thanks to the Embassy for hosting the edit.”

It hasn’t been easy holding onto this edit all week. So pumped on this! Huge thanks to Isaac for hooking this up. There’s a bunch of rad Canadian riders in this edit mixed with good tunes, good filming, and good editing.

This edit is dope for a few reasons: the riding is awesome, these dudes used to be the little kids in Calgary and they’re now growing in to amazing riders, there’s a tweaker tweaking hard in the intro, it’s edited to one of my favorite Joy Division songs, there’s clips of John Alden riding 4 pegs in it, and lastly and most importantly, these dudes are having a shitload of fun riding their bikes and that’s what it’s all about. Featuring Teddy Eyob, Jay Park, Quintin, John Alden and more.

Here’s  bunch of “B-Roll” footage from John Alden. How this is “B-Roll” is beyond me, two of the craziest hand plants I’ve seen in forever… check it.

John Alden is a shredder and this Ten Pack/BMX Gallery spring edit is proof. Filmed by a bunch of rad dudes, Austin Odegnal, Mike Boag and Matt Walser, John is wearing a rad hat throughout most of the edit and he does a downside handplant on a quarter/extension setup which is completely ridiculous. Watch this if you haven’t already!


The Calgary boys coming through with this dope edit of their recent trip to Cali. If your going to watch one edit today, watch this one, good vibes, good times and good riding in there.
