Kyle “Cheech” Hirschkorn knocks a few wobbly pops back with Mat Ridgeway, Rasmus Gravesen and Slade Scherer. The guys link up a few lines around Confederation Park and make the best of a sunny afternoon. Kyle is recovering from a recent surgery, with good vibes like these, I’m sure he will be back behind bars soon enough. What better way to keep up with the buds than, dusting off the camera and grabbing a few clips.

In July, 15 of us packed a bunch of cars up and took a trip deep into Oregon. We take a trip like this every year and make a point to go somewhere new each time. The trip featured veterans like Alaskan wildman David Clay and newcomers like Dave Butler and Caleb Ruecker (along with many names that you’ll recognize from this site over the years). We bombed hills, roasted magnesium in the campfire, hung out on the dunes, waited on the side of the highway with a broken down minivan and rode some of the weirdest and wildest skateparks the Northwest has to offer.

We’ve got a good amount of content coming from this trip, and up first is a gallery shot by Jason Vawter. Jason shot so many great photos that we’ve left them in a gallery on Flickr for easy viewing. Check the gallery out HERE.

Many years ago, when asked about his crew of Kelowna locals, Mat Ridgeway described his scene and the website that documented it (BK!) as “our Sandlot”. An apt description, as they’ve been a group of guys who really encompass the spirit in that movie. To kick off the summer, we filled this past weekend with both BMX and baseball. Check out a few photos after the jump.

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.

A bunch of us were back in Kelowna over the holidays and it was too cold to ride, so we went skateboarding. Only a couple of us know how to skate; it was fun though. Big thanks to The Bakery for hooking up the session.

Mat Ridgeway shreds on a bike and Zach Rampen shreds behind the lens, pretty damn good combination and pretty damn good results! Mat takes a real different approach to riding and it’s alot of fun to watch, real fast and refreshing. This edit is the best thing you’ll see in a while, check it out and then watch it again!

In July, eight of us took a trip to explore the open skies and amazing concrete parks of Montana. It was a trip I’d been wanting to make for years, and I was fortunate to share it with some of the best riders in Canada. Legendary Alaskan David Clay also jumped on the trip three days before it started (“I just bought some guns, but I think I can drop $500 on a plane ticket”). We came home with a ton of content and decided to put together a micro-site dedicated to our adventure. We hope to give you a sense of the people we met and places we visited along the way.

We’ll be releasing the site in four parts on Sundays and Wednesdays over the next two weeks. It will have a permanent home here. First up is a gallery of photos from Mat Ridgeway’s disposable camera, along with some of the stories that accompany them.
