Johnye West is one of the most entertaining younger riders coming up in Winnipeg right now. The Forks is his local stomping grounds, where he spends most of his time zooming around the bowl and heckling females. Enjoy.

UPDATE: And just like that… they’re gone.
In December of 2011, eleven pals from all over Canada flew over to Spain for what is soon to become a new DVD from The Northern Embassy. Greg Flag, Dillon Lloyd, Taylor Elvy, Jeff Evans, Luke Santucci, Sean Cooke, Ryan Hiebert, Albert Krolikowski, Jeremy Deme, Prashant Gopal, and myself (Cory Beal) all took two weeks out of our otherwise much-less-exciting lives to enjoy the weather, cruise the spots, see the sights, and ride our bikes.
I just saw a sneak-preview of the trailer and it got me to thinking about why Barcelona is such an interesting city to me. A combination of the food, the people and the spots keep bringing me back. This time we’ll have a DVD from our efforts along with some other little surprises and we’re all excited to see how it came out, but in the meantime I’ve whipped up this little piece about my favourite city (so far).
It’s not news to anyone that REPSET has had a wrench thrown into its engine. Without diving into weirdo reasons and excuses for halting the flow of Canadian BMX news, I’d like to quickly mention that I haven’t forgotten about this (excuse me if it sounds pretentious) important part of Canadian BMX history.
I wrote and curated this piece with Chris Silva nearly a year ago. We worked together and did some back-and-forth over a week or two to get it all sorted out and I ended up just sitting on it. With the decisions I made to slow down the content on the website, and with The Embassy launching, I thought I was going to forward it to that project but for various reasons it got put on hold again and again. We had originally planned to release Silva’s recently launched (online, at least) DVD section from the latest ICC video, but Silva’s much-accepted impatience led to the section dropping before the interview for relevancy’s sake.
Regardless, this is a piece that shouldn’t go unnoticed and unread. In the next few eye-watering feet of web-page you can read Silva’s story about each of his many monumental DVD sections that he’s put together over the years.
While the news section of this website slows to an inevitable crawl and some new ideas start coming to light a newer scene of Winnipeg locals are still out there riding every day and filming as much as they can. This video should keep you entertained until REPSET’s next movement. Enjoy.
Ahhh, GNAR JAM. I’m bummed to be missing it, but the tradition continues. Check the flyer for details.
Get familiar and watch out for The Embassy this year. There’s some big plans afloat.
I shouldn’t even really have to say too much about this. Jason Enns and Dave Osato both have undoubtedly amazing sections in the new Demoltion video. Don’t sleep! Get your local shop to hit up Tenpack and get yourself a copy.
Jake Montgomery, Ian Christison, Andrew White, Andrew Gobbo, Chris Silva, and Steven Moxley all put down some deece moves in this quick SOUR FEVER edit.
While it may seem a little quiet over here lately, there’s been some behind-the-scenes progress on a cool new feature with Chris Silva. Watch out for that.
