Farewell Jeff Bedard
Posted by Prashant - 30/04/10 at 09:04:49 pm
It is with heavy heart that we wish Jeff Bedard a fond farewell. Jeff is returning to his hometown of Sudbury for a short bit before heading off on a European excursion, and then making the long trek across Canada to relocate to Vancouver permanently. Jeff has been calling Ottawa home since 2006/2007(?) and his presence will surely be missed. It is arguable if he invented the word greazy, but he certainly personified it best. His riding and personality have been notorious at skateparks, street spots, contests, jams, events, parties, and everything in between. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of traveling or spending time with him, you know the endless laughs and excitement he can bring to even the dullest of times and a treat it is to have him around. One of the most interesting people I can say I have ever met, and an amazing well-rounded rider. Farewell Jeff, hopefully we see you again. Click below for some classic Jeff videos.

Marc Boudreau getting some last minute riding in on his backyard ramp before it all comes down again.
Ottawa’s last BMX house saw it’s farewell gala last night. The evening had a bbq going, a backyard ramp, wizard sticks, jousting, a soccer ball, the hockey game streaming online, the new Animal Cuts DVD, and the collective maturity level of 6th graders. All in all it was a great night, and a fitting farewell to a great BMX house that always had an open door for everyone and anyone. Click below for more photos.

Daily Laugh – Facial Axewound
Posted by Landozine - 13/04/10 at 11:04:11 pmI spent the majority of today in waiting rooms. First I spent a couple of very valuable hours in the morning/afternoon to go see a dental surgeon to work out the details of how we’re going to extract an impacted tooth, all the while thinking “fuck I hate waiting rooms, good thing I wont have to deal with this shit for a while…”
Oh how I was wrong. I went to CP around 6:00, and by 6:20 I was on the ground in a puddle of my own blood.
I got stuck in an X-up, of all tricks on the 6 foot quarter. And ended up scorpion grinding into the flat bottom. I’m not really sure how I developed the cut without getting any bruises or scrapes around it… luckily I was wearing my helmet. It took the majority of the impact.
But the real point here isn’t to wear your helmet. Its to not be such a pussy about putting injury pictures on the internet. After Not-so-metro I posted some pictures of a not to be named pro who’s friends sent some pretty nasty e-mails to me to take down the photos because they were of ‘poor taste’. Fair enough. To each their own. But to prove my own point, and
here is a picture of my face with a gaping axe wound in it that I got from doing a fucking x-up. Much more embarrassing than a photo of a dude on the ground with extra corners with no discernible face or even any blood for good measure.
We ride BMX. This shit happens, lets celebrate it.

Throwback Thursday – Old Ottawa Scene Report
Posted by Landozine - 08/04/10 at 06:04:29 pmEvery time I go riding now I’m seeing new kids on BMX bikes, and alot of them are really good. So in the spirit of all the new blood flowing through the veins of Ottawa’s BMX scene, and with the cancerous cigar blood clot that is 39c about to expel itself from the city (but never from our hearts), I figured it was a great time to post this old article I wrote for R.E.D BMX magazine back in 2007.
