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.

Roland already posted this on the message board, but it’s a great read and I didn’t want it lost in a sea of posts in a week and bumped off the page, so I’m re-posting it here. Stay tuned for Day 2. Take the time to read some inspiring words from this Ottawa BMX veteran on his long quest to ride Woodward.

Insight – Jeremy Deme
Posted by Prashant - 08/11/09 at 12:11:04 pmI’ve known Jeremy Deme for roughly 8 years now. He sold me a back wheel over the internet, then I discovered that most of my friends already knew him too. Over the many years we’ve crossed paths countless times in both Ottawa and Montreal for events, contests, jams, video premieres, and just really good sessions. He’s become a friend of almost every rider here in Ottawa, all the while continuing to put out great DVD’s, web videos, and have his hand in other creative projects with his tight group of friends in Montreal. His last video, Yesterday, helped push his name (and the names of many of the other featured riders) out there in to the eyes of the BMX world, and he’s since been busy working on a much anticipated follow up. I asked Jeremy some questions in hopes of getting some insight to this new production, riding, filming, gt dropnose seats, and big changes going on in his life.

Editorial: A Call For Action
Posted by Landozine - 29/09/09 at 01:09:11 amWe’ve all seen them at the skatepark. A Heinous abortion of an otherwise smooth and stylish trick- A maneuver that instantly makes you wonder how quickly you could carve into your eye socket and dig your retina out with a spoon. The trick I speak of is clearly the “downwards stretched no hander” or the “Donkey Kong”.
