Repset

One hell of a Monday! Repset hosted it’s second Summer slam of this summer this past weekend and Graham McCallum was there to film it up and edit it up in a very timely manner. Shout out to Repset for hosting the radest jams in Winnipeg every summer. Matt Perrin, Louelle Smith and a few others killed it, watch the edit for proof.

“Colin Thiessen and I stumbled upon a nice camera a while back (thanks to DaPegShow)…we filmed random clips of some friends at a couple skateparks in Winnipeg.”
– Shawn Franz

As outsiders looking in, Winnipeg’s BMX scene is booming lately. The riders, parks, and shops are a huge reason for this, but also in part to Philippe Bellefeuille documenting the scene. He’s been making a somewhat-regular Youtube show called Da Peg Show for two years documenting what the Winnipeg scene has been up to in his own style, and we wanted to know a bit more. Check out a quick interview we did with him below.

Matt Perrin recently published his first issue of Scene Zine, a zine dedicated to the BMX scene in and around Winnipeg, MB. It’s a great 32 page, black and white publication with a mix of interviews and photos that gives some insight in to what makes up their community. The Manitoba scene always appears to be a tight knit group, and this zine is evidence of that. Matt covers not only riders living in the core of Winnipeg, but also the surrounding smaller towns such as Morden, Brandon, Komenda, and more. You can find photos and interviews with Ian Peters, Shawn Hildebrandt, Colin Thiessen, Shawn Franz, and the crew behind Da Peg Show. People that know me know that I believe that printed matter matters, and it’s great to see people continue to put time and energy towards making tangible projects like this to share with their friends.

Matt hooked us up with a bunch of copies so we’re going to pass them on to you. The first five people to email us at northernembassy@gmail.com with their FULL mailing address will get a copy. This is only open to residents of Canada, and one copy per person. Check out some more photos of the zine’s contents below, and try to be one of the first five people to send us an email!
