Riley McMaster Tag

Wow! Well, I’m gonna call it a day after this one. Riley doesn’t always get a chance to shine in front of the camera but when he does he goes wild! One could say hes been on a “Filming Spree” as of late… Personally I have been waiting to see that last clip for a while, I still can’t believe he did it! While your at it go pick up a last minute Christmas gift at the Chilling Spree online store. Give the gift of chilling.

We all know people are using more and more advanced cameras everyday. Whether it’s a Red, a Phantom, or a FS-“Whatever”, the thought of a 3D edit or DVD is on the horizon. To bad Canadians just have to do everything first. Riley McMaster put this test out Four years ago on the Gnarwhale site. Walkie-Talkies, Space Arms and 3D BMX edits how much more Canadian can you get? Featuring Andrew Gobbo, Carl Arnett and Riley himself

Chilling Spree – In Your Face 3D 2014?

Another wacky one brought to you by Chilling Spree. I’ll let Riley explain it:

450 Salsbury is an anomaly in the typical BMX house paradigm. Everyone has steady jobs, dialed bikes and the carpets always clean. With Jordan Hango, Jason Teet, Carl Arnett and Jordan Ross calling it home, it has long been a meet up spot to start pedaling from. A place to chill on the alley side stoop, and watch the adventures of lost minded characters. Or get buck nutty when the fire starts to burn.
Fire up the grill and enjoy this quick sizzling mixtape.
Filmed by Jordan Hango & Riley McMaster

Manual Across America from Chilling Spree on Vimeo.

Chilling Spree Presents a First Look for the Northern Embassy.

I have travelled back and forth across America on the regular for the past couple of years. Every trip is its own undertaking. With new destinations, routes, vessel, and agenda, each year is a completely different trek.
With all the driving, flying and even road biking across this glorious continent already ticked off the list. I really needed something big to one-up myself this summer. There was a lot of prep and training required for this leaned-back journey. I am proud of myself for making it this far…

Here’s a new video of low-fi oddness from Riley McMaster. A mish mash of riding and all kinds of footage edited to a home recorded song. Watch it and mellow out man.

This is also a perfect time to mention that Riley is now a regular contributor to this site. Those of you that keep a close eye have probably already figured that out, but we are fans of Riley’s brand of writing, photography, videos, and the creative projects he releases in general, so it was a no-brainer to bring him on board. This just means more rad shit to share with everyone in the future. Welcome aboard!

With all the posts about zines this week I couldn’t forget about this one put out by the always busy Toronto based publishers Blood Of The Young. It’s a group zine with a collection of photographs from numerous different photographers based simply on the theme of ‘cycling’, created for a soon-to-be-opening exhibition (I think). BMX photos are mixed nicely alongside images of road cycling, touring, commuters, and more. There’s even a photo of a mountain bike leaner in the mix. There is a large list of different contributors in this, including some BMX names you might recognize such as Riley McMaster, Harley Haskett, Brenden Megannety, and even Edwin Delarosa. You can check out a couple more shots of some of the pages below and pick up a copy of the zine in their store here. While you’re at it, pick up any number of the zines or shirts they’ve published in their shop.
