* UPDATE: contest is closed – Philip O. is the winner *
Last month a number of members of the Animal team were in town on the Ten Pack Tour. While here they made a quick visit to Joe Mamma’s, rode a few spots in town, and had a BBQ before having to head back out to Quebec. They were also generous enough to send some goods through to us, and here’s your chance to win a free copy of the the new Animal Cuts DVD by answering a few Animal related questions that any die hard fan might know (or spend a little time on Youtube and Google to find the answers).

Want to pet my monkey? Don’t be a racist!

Hey Everyone! I’m calling in favours here. My girlfriend Melanie is in a contest right now where she could win an all expense paid trip to go and volunteer in Africa for a week with Red Rose Tea. This is a super cool opportunity, once in a life time, but she needs our help to make this happen. Please go and follow this link and vote for her. I know I’ve already asked alot of you to do this, but the voting round was re-set and so everyone can vote once again. Please go and do this. I have a vested interest in it of course, as she said she’d bring me back a monkey from Africa. Hopefully one of the delicious ones too…
It seriously takes 2 seconds. Vote from every e-mail address you have. And make sure to click the confirmation email they send you afterwards or it doesn’t count.
Funeral For a Friend
Posted by Landozine - 14/06/10 at 12:06:57 am
Last night saw the celebration of over half a decade of DIY BMX. After years of leading the hardcore BMX scene in Montreal, Ugly Assed Bikes is closing their doors. Liam Mulrooney, the park’s owner/operator and general all around badass explained that UAB was not closing because he had tired of working 24/7 and sinking thousands of his own dollars into the park; instead the park is closing because the building has changed hands and the new landlords have upped the rent to an impossible figure.

FilmKit 2010 – Video Setup
Posted by Roland - 07/06/10 at 11:06:53 pmDespite the fact that I’m some sort of computer geek I really don’t score very high on the gadget index. Lately though, I’ve been thinking about getting a decent camera setup… While I was in Seattle I thought maybe it was time to pull the trigger so I walked in to the first Best Buy I saw to pick up the Canon Rebel T2i.

Magic Golf Bag - elapsed 00:00:00
Golf bags have magical airport powers. They repel airport check-in scales and baggage fees.
Airlines just can’t piss-off business travelers. As a result golf bags go right on the conveyor. They already know they are overweight and they aren’t going to do anything about it so they don’t bother.

Dave McCaig – London to Cairo
Posted by Prashant - 23/03/10 at 08:03:07 am
Long time Ottawa BMX rider Dave McCaig recently returned to Canada for a short while, after having completed his longest bicycle tour yet, cycling from London to Cairo. Dave road the treacherous distance with his trusty Hasselblad camera, and two partners; Nikola, and his goofball brother Ryan. We have featured Dave’s photography on this site before, so I felt it only natural to ask him if he would share a handful of images from his latest cycling adventure on this site for everyone to see, and perhaps motivate and light a fire under people to explore traveling from a different perspective. Click below to read Dave’s statement and to check out the rest his amazing photos.

39 C Hosted the best BMX JAM this decade.
Posted by Landozine - 18/01/10 at 11:01:49 pm
Kicking off 2010; Jeff, Marc, Karl, and Jamie threw down with one of the most original BMX Jams that I have ever been to. As most people in Ottawa know, Jeff has a bunch of ramps stowed away in his warehouse that have been used for a bunch of things already (backyard jam, ghetto street jam)… well this time the 39C boys decided to take things to a new level by placing the ramps smack dab in the middle of their living room. I wasn’t totally surprised when they announced their plans to do this, as anyone who knows them knows that they like to leave their living room as little as possible. Beers and C-gars on the couch all day. What DID surprise me was the amount of work they put in to make it happen, very out of character for Jeff especially.

A Lesson In Failure
Posted by Landozine - 04/01/10 at 11:01:59 pm
There is nothing quite like giving something your all and completely falling on your face. You know, like when you spend all year training really hard to win the big track and field meet only to show up and get murdered by all the kenyan kids with 6 foot long legs, or when you go into the exam and totally flunk it because you stayed up all night studying super hard for it, or when you ask out that super pretty girl and she turns out that you’re not nearly attractive enough. Failure is like fine wine; it’s bitter and if you sample enough of it eventually you get addicted.
