Tristan Sweet is a name you often hear out of the Vancouver scene. Whether it’s an edit, killing it at a jam, a crazy doube tire ride somewhere, filming editing something for his friends, Tristan seems to be in the mix of things so we caught up with the mega productive 19 year old Sunshine coast to Vancouver transplant.

This shit is bananas, via DIG, Corey Walsh teamed up with Zach Rampen in search of holy pools in Vancouver, BC. Over the years you’ve very seldomly seen any pool footage out of the Vancouver area but Corey changed that. Alot of work goes into making a pool rideable, good on Corey for scouting and putting in work to make it happen. Zach shot this beautifully and gives you the feel that you are on the deck watching Corey dive in.

“Corey Walsh has one thing on his mind for the last month in the Fall of 2015… pools. Strung out like some kind of addict, you’ll find Corey in some strangers backyard, staring longingly into google maps, or up to his gumboots in pool scum. Needless to say, Corey’s life was a mess, but for an underlying purpose. After scouting, draining and cleaning – the pools were ready. Watch Corey roast these Vancouver gems and get weird with it!

” In the Early 2000’s, Vancouver was lucky enough to have some of the biggest pros and Darren Bolton behind the lens showcasing Vancouver’s scene. Tons of local spots that are still getting hit today were ridden and a few magazine covers in there.

KILL BMX was tagged all over the local parks when RDS was trying to have a hard image on the west coast. Bitching on the daily until truck barns K.O’d Chalmers and threw him in Hastings.

This video is the ABD reference manual around here”

Featuring Jay Miron, Dave Osato, Dustin Guenther, Rob Sigaty,  Darren Bolton, Ron Mercer, Dom Mach, Wade Nelson, Greg Nicholson, Rob Parsons, Luke Hurdle, Jason Enns, Jamie McIntosh, Darcy Saccucci, amongst other Canadian legends, this is truly the earliest of Canadian BMX in all it’s glory.

a break from reality
as a collision of light and sound
takes you on a trip
down Easy Street.
