Practical Guide to Ruthlessness.
Posted by Landozine - 31/08/10 at 01:08:55 pmI’m sure many of you remember my short stint on reality TV back in 2007… no? Well I was on Rogers Cable’s “Your Screen Test” show, which was basically a competition to host your own TV show. My pitch was to make a BMX related show, and despite high levels of raditude (before weezer stole the word) I lost, and Ottawa has gone without a BMX show ever since. Now that is changing. Thanks to Treepot TV, Landozine and Skyward Kick Productions will be producing a run of episodes for our new BMX show titled “The Practical Guide to Ruthlessness”. The first few episodes are going to feature mostly Capital BMX content, but I’d like to expand eventually making it more of an Ontario wide show.

I found this photo I shot recently of Jeff Bedard on his bike, doing anything but riding, feeling rough a morning after. Vancouver here we come.
Throwback Thursday
Posted by Prashant - 26/08/10 at 09:08:39 am
Another 2005 throwback of Rich Redmond with a tailwhip gap at the old Ottawa Skatepark while filming for Scene Here. Time flies. I don’t even remember who shot this, but I’m holding a video camera in the background.
Trails Update
Posted by Landozine - 25/08/10 at 07:08:28 pmRich’s trails are one good work day away from rideable. Today Jorden, Tommy and I went out to give him a hand and shaped the starting hip as well as the first jump. I left before they were done so I’m assuming they’ll get a bit more finished today, but if we can organize a 5 or 6 man work day I’m sure this place will be rideable before September. Rich wants to do a contest this fall, so you all should get out there and help out because you know its going to be awesome!
Don’t let Rich intimidate you with his magic.

A few more slow motion clips…

The slow motion on the last clip got a little wonky, but big props to Roland for making his quota this year!
Get Ready to Get Dirty!
Posted by Landozine - 21/08/10 at 10:08:00 am
Big news on the Casselman front. Newly indoctrinated resident Rich Redmond has been hard at work the past couple of days digging some gnarly trails in his field. Ignore the bobcat in the photo, the trails were actually hand dug entirely by Rich, using only one hand.

Throwback Thursday
Posted by Prashant - 19/08/10 at 11:08:45 am
This Throwback Thursday is brought to you by the fearless Remi Cyr, floating a (bowlegged) 270 table over the hip at CP back in 2006. It begs the question of few past names of the Ottawa scene, where are they now?
Don’t Be An Asshole
Posted by Landozine - 11/08/10 at 10:08:58 pmAlways Rock Bar Ends.
Yesterday while riding CP, I lost one of my bar ends and before I had a chance to notice I almost lost the tip of my finger. One of the most gruesome cuts I have ever endured, that jagged metal bar opening tore me a new one. Sure, it wasn’t my nutsack… but it still sucks. 5 stitches later I’m sitting around waiting for it to heal so I can ride in Van next month. Stupid Universe, always working against me…
Box Jump News
Posted by Landozine - 11/08/10 at 08:08:29 pmI just got word from Councillor Bob Monette that an order for the box jump has been placed, and that we’re looking at a late august/early september installation date. This is some great news!
Because of the time of year, we will be competing with school playground construction so it might not happen until after labour day, but either way we should have a jump to ride this season! So hopefully Jorden wont have to do this trick over an awkward hip much longer and can take it properly to a big box jump.
