Not So Metro 2010
Posted by Landozine - 09/03/10 at 01:03:40 pmOnce again the best weekend in Canadian BMX has come and gone. This year wasn’t all that different from past years, although there were quite a few Ottawa faces missing from the mix. For those of you who didn’t make it down for the awesomeness, I’ve got a couple of photos to share.
This poor bastard took the business end of a 180 over the hitching post. Legs shouldn’t have that many corners….

Capital BMX T-Shirts
Posted by Prashant - 08/03/10 at 11:03:37 pm
Tommy Hains has crafted up some Capital BMX t-shirts in effort to continue to raise money for the proposed Orleans Box Jump. I’ve been saying for more years than I can remember that I want to get some shirts made, but Tommy finally made it happen.
They run $20 a piece with all the proceeds going toward the box jump fund, with black ink on white cotton only, in sizes medium, large, and a few extra larges. To get one you can contact Tommy directly (tommy-hains at hotmail dot com), and he will get it to you. Get behind this Ottawa. Click below for more photos of the shirt.

Yo Sick Release Party
Posted by Rich Red - 02/03/10 at 03:03:08 pm
Prashant threw a decent art party the other week. Not as nice as his cardigan, but really sweet none the less. even Sketchy Kid (Byron Carrol) showed up, so if you didn’t, you suck.
Throwback Thursday

Chris Silva – LandoZine ‘05 from iccsilva on Vimeo.
A drastic jump of about 20 years from last week’s Throwback Thursday, but this is the ender part from Landozine’s 2005 release Illusion of Man, of our friend Chris Silva. Footage from back in his days of Hyper Bikes and backyard ramps.
Also in Chris Silva news, if you haven’t heard already, he has started his own small clothing brand titled Sour Fever. A small, grass roots effort, where each shirt is hand screened by Chris himself in Toronto.

Big Ben, no hands on the 6 foot quarter.

Kyle Lafleur sent through a random photo and said this:
The last two days were super nice, we put in a bit of work and got the little mini ramps running.
Spring is almost here.
Reminder: Orleans FUNdraiser Jam @ UAB
Posted by Prashant - 18/02/10 at 11:02:35 pm
Just another post to act as a reminder to everyone to do everything they can to make it to UAB this Sunday the 21st for the Orleans FUNdraiser Jam Tommy Hains is throwing. Should be lots of fun and prizes for everyone. There’s been tons of notice for this event, so all excuses are going to be pretty poor for non attendance. Click below to see the post with all the jam details.
Throwback Thursday
Posted by Prashant - 18/02/10 at 09:02:56 am
I haven’t posted a Throwback Thursday piece in a while, but this should more than make up for it. Frank Krul is an Ottawa rider from way back in the day. About 8 or 9 years ago Frank got back in to riding (after getting his hands on Jay Miron’s first run custom complete Macneil bike through an airport screwup) and back in to the modern day scene here in Ottawa. He has since moved to Halifax, but recently posted a bunch of great old school photos to Facebook, and he gave me permission to post a bunch of them. He’s still has lots, so expect some more to come down the line. You can read his statement and then click below to check out the rest of the photos.
A huge part of my life was filled in by skating in the 70s/80s and and BMXing in the 80s/90s. From doing shows for Pepsi/Frito lay to doing a tour from Ontario to PEI with Boardwalk, meeting pros like Tony Hawk, riding with Dave Mirra before any of the Xgames, and practically living at Kona skatepark when I could…I present the following look into my past.

Yo Sick Zine 5 Release Party/Art Show
Posted by Prashant - 09/02/10 at 11:02:41 pmThe newest issue of Yo Sick Zine is almost done and being duplicated. To celebrate I’m having a party and art show in my apartment. It’s got some BMX and lots of other random stuff in it. Come by throughout the night, or stay and party the whole time. Grab a zine, a pin, bring some disposable cash and buy something to hang up in your home, or just hang out and drink and listen to music.
*UPDATED – click below for more information and photos*
forgive the typos in the flyer, a casualty of carelessly working with pen and paper
