Fit Shop Stop at The Angry Penguin

Some of the FIT team including Van Homan, Justin Inman, Shawn McIntosh and Raul Ruiz stopped off at The Angry Penguin bmx shop to sign some autographs and then session the streets with the kids. Usually they have a box jump or a rail for a demo but this is different and in my opinion this is the way to go especially for street shredders like themselves. Van Hoffman is legendary.

Site Update: Leaving for 2 Weeks

Come tomorrow morning, Monday June 27th I will be leaving for two weeks for work and at this time I am unaware if wether or not I will have internet were I'll be staying. Lets hope I do so I can update the site with results from the Belle River Competition that is happening today. Expect a ton of photos from the contest!

Thanks, Chase

Chad Kerley at Clairemont Skatepark

Chad threw down in his latest edit with some of the most insane lines and a crazy ass nose manual. This will probably be the best riding vid of the week cause this is next level stuff.

Just to let everyone know, I will be on hand and riding in the upcoming Belle River Skatepark Competition that is happening this Sunday in Belle River, On. I plan to have a write up with some photos, results and maybe even a video of some sorts. All the information can be found on the facebook event page - Belle River Contest

This is the first annual as it says, can't wait to see the turnout aswell as feedback from all the riders. There will be over $500 in prizes throughout. There will be a BMX 16 Under & Over 16 class aswell as a MTB 16 Under & Over 16 class. Also there will be a couple mini contests including Highest Hop and Best Trick.

Look forward to seeing everyone out there!

A Day In London

I went up to London, On. this past weekend to do some riding and filming with a couple of the guys up that way including my homie Jack Leonard. The only spot we really got to hit up was the Western University since I didn't get there till 7pm but even still we managed to get a couple solid clips.

Jack Leonard - 7 Set Uprail

Jack has been eyeing this uprail up for a while he said so you can imagine how stoked he and I both were when he pulled it. Expect a ton of bangers out of this kid in the future! Below is another shot of the same trick showing more of the spot and the full setup we had goin.

The full setup

Eli Taylor & Jalen Pickard Plaza Edit

Eli and Jalen both live in basically the middle of nowhere and both throw down when it comes to anything. They asked me to go out to ride with them this day but seeing as it was already raining in Windsor I figured it wasn't worth the drive out, they proved me wrong. On one of the worst days this year these guys both threw down some mad street skills, get stoked!

ROM Mini Ramp Session with Main, Baldock and Coleburn

If you like watching people ride mini ramps, and by people I meen the UKs top shredders Harry Main, Kyle Baldock and Alex Coleburn then this quick session is exactly what you want to watch. I still cant believe how crazy frontflips over spines look, there was deffinetly some new variations in this one as well, dont miss!

We The People - Southbound & Down Tour

This video is one of the best tour videos I've seen in quite a while, with some great scene shots of Mexico City mixed with some dialed riding from the likes of Chester Blacksmith, Max Gaertig, Andrew Jackson and more...

Chase DeHart - Etnies

Etnies just dropped this new edit of Chase absolutely killing the streets like usual, if anyone wants to know why Chase is hands down my favorite rider, just look at this street steeze he's got cookin!

Kayley Ashworth

To anyone out there who say "Girls can't BMX", this video of Kayley Ashworth basically proves you wrong. Fair warning, its not the crazy tricks you have come to expect but its great to see a girl have fun and ride a bike either way, and the banger in this one lets you know she's serious.

Lil Sean Ricany & Augie Simoncini

Sean is one of those kids with just pure natural talent on a bike, and after being out of the game for a little while due to injuries, this new edit of him got me stoked. First line alone is worth the watch.

Bank Robbers & Ian Taggart

I didn't get a post up yesterday so I'm fully making up for it today with two hilarious videos I've recently watched. The first one is of a guy from what seems like the UK that shows that even putting a stocking on your head instantly makes you out to be a bank robber.



The second video came out during the riots in Vancouver, when I first put it up on facebook it had only 300+ Views and now only a day later it has reached 170,000+. Ever seen a ginger get hit in the nuts?

Steven Jenson - Fixie Edit

Riding a fixie is fun but Steven here took it to a whole nother level with some dialed barspin variations. I find it funny how he has to pop his back tire up every once in a while to fix his feet setup.

Charlie Crumlish Interview on TheComeUp

Charlie Crum from BMXFU just got a exclusive interview up on The Come Up, head on over there now and take a look. Best interview I've read all year.

St. Clair Session

Jason hit me up the other day with a couple photos of these new ledges that just got built up at St. Clair College. I couldn't wait to get out there and see what was possible, after filming and riding all day I wanted to get a couple shots at the spot.

Jason Brabant - Barspin over the ledge

Its been kinda underground and floating around that we are in the midst of filming for our first full-length dvd but its been hard to meet up with everyone to get clips. Luckily Jason is always down to shred some street and has been putting 100% into getting a bangin' part together. This barspin above (to finish off a line) I'm sure will make an appearance.

Chase Davidson - Barrier Hop
Photo Cred: Jason Brabant

I wanted to get in front of the lens once throughout the day and Jason was down to take the shot.

After hopping over this thing 10+ times so Jason could get the right timing, I was stoked to have a clean photo I liked.

Trevor Torok

Once the session died down I managed to get Trevor here off guard while I was putting the flashes back.

Monster Energy - Harry Main

If any of you don't know this name by now, get use to it! Harry has struggled with injuries but looks to be back at 110% as you can clearly tell in this new edit. Not only is he absolutely a machine, he also happens to be one of the nicest person I've ever met.

Australian Boedan Nelson - One Day Sesh.

I'm always a fan of watching young riders shred parks or street. This new one from Australian Boedan Nelson made it for me right at the very first clip where he cranks a perfect turndown to fakie. Aside from a couple indian givers this edit was right on par, unfortunately he broke his collarbone in the last clip. Hope to see more from this kid in the future!

RideBMX Game of Bike

Matthias Dandois and Terry Adams battle head to head in the first ever flatland game of bike. I cant ride flatland what-so-ever but I love watching it and give huge respect to the guys that can master it like these two.

Sarnia Day Edit

Cody threw this one together for the homies out in Sarnia, some solid clips in this one!
"Pretty much the daily Sarnia scene, cruised at maxwell and had a little bank sesh, huge scary bump in front of it made it fun. Then hit up Ben's new mini ramp to get our park swag on." - Cody Sisler

Greg Flag - Old 09/10 Clips

This video has been out for a long time now but I just recently came across it and the riding is ridiculously good not to pass up. Coming straight out of The Embassy is Greg Flag, Cory Clarke, Corey Dewey and Kean Fougere.

Worlds Biggest Ollie

Since we are on track of "world firsts", here is the worlds biggest ollie by Aaron "Jaws" Homoki and its a dandy!

World First Triple Backflip Story

This has to be the best story/video I've watched of 2011', one mans dream come true.

Zeb Dennis - Compound Edit

Zeb has always been a killer on a bike since the day I met him back at one of the old Industry contests. This new edit of him riding the compound (assuming someones barn) shows him having just a chill session but with some solid riding throughout, especially the last trick over the spine.

Corey Shuker Photos

The other day I took the bus out to FG Skatepark in hopes to get a couple new photos, and I got just that thanks to Corey wanting to throw down some moves.

Corey Shuker - Benihanna

He nailed this Benihanna in about 4 trys so I was only able to get a couple shots that I was happy with before he rolled away.

This one on the left and the new header on the site are the outcome of the 2 minute photo shoot.
