Brandon Photo Contest.
Posted by Landozine - 18/09/09 at 12:09:31 amAs most of you probably remember, I had a call for entries for a photoshop contest a couple of weeks ago. It involved taking a picture of brandon on the beach and putting him into hilarious positions. Here is a sample of what was contributed, I’ll let you guys be the judge of who won. Comment on this story with your vote.
Entry #1 from Jamie Dean, an elegant Brandon in a field. The least gay of the entries somehow…

2010 prototype Federal bike?
Corey Dewey may not be from Ottawa, but he is one of the nicest and friendliest people you will meet from Montreal. On top of that, he is a more than amazing bike rider. I asked him a few questions to find out what some of his favorite three things are on various subjects, which you can read by clicking below, as well as watch his Presence part, amongst other recent web videos.

Posted by Landozine - 18/08/09 at 06:08:38 pmAlright everyone. So we’re gonna have some fun. I stole a picture Brandon Lalonde put up on Facebook of him jumping over excitedly on a beach.

The deadline for entries will be a week from today. E-mail all submissions to Chris@Landozine.ca
Good luck. And remember, anything goes. Nothing is taboo.

Jeff Bedard Chronicles – Volume 3
Posted by Prashant - 23/06/09 at 06:06:00 pmAfter a short hiatus, we are back with another Jeff Bedard story. This one is much more recent, as it took place at this year’s ICC Jam only a few weeks ago. The story I heard was that Jeff spent most of the day drunk at most spots, smashed his face on the ground, passed out at a spot, then everyone else took off to keep riding. He ended up having an ambulance called and went to the hospital. I’m sure there’s more to the story then that, but I’ll let rumour and hearsay carry it forward from this point. Our friend Harley shot this quick video of Jeff drunk at one of the jam spots, trying to fight with Cory Beal. It doesn’t get more Jeff Bedard than this.
Insight – Liam Mulrooney

Liam – no footer over the UAB box jump
In a continued series of interviews conducted by Rich Redmond, I wanted to shine a spotlight on one of the hardest working riders in Montreal, Liam Mulrooney. Liam is the owner of the only bicycle specific park in the country, Ugly Ass Bikepark. After UAB materiliazed, and Liam and poured himself in to the opening, running, and growing the park, I realized how much he must love BMX to keep his doors open and provide a place for riders all over Quebec (and Eastern Ontario) to come to year round. Knowing that I am no expert on Liam, I asked Jeremy Deme to write an intro to the interview, which would make this the intro to the intro (kind of redundant, isn’t it?). Nevertheless, click below to read about Montreal’s Liam Mulrooney.

Pool Season – Volume 2
Posted by Prashant - 21/05/09 at 05:05:14 pmIf you remember the last Pool Season post that Chris Chitaroni wrote, you would recall the unquenchable thirst lately to ride more pools. When conversing with each other, we realized we both had/have a hard time explaining the desire to ride spots like this to people outside of BMX. Nevertheless, Chris pulled together a short little video of some of the riding at the newly discovered pool that one afternoon (nothing crazy, but hopefully it conveys the enthusiasm for it). Click the link below to read Chris’ story from that day and our run in with the police, as well as a few photos from the both of us.

Pool Season
Posted by Prashant - 13/05/09 at 08:05:09 pm
A handful of riders have been taking advantage of the season and hitting up as many pools as they can before the summer season hits, and they fill up with water. Chris Chitaroni shot a handful of great photos while on a pool mission with Jorden, Rich, and Jeff, wrote some words of pool inspiration and sent them over. Click below to check out it all out in full.

Originally with the release of Hate This, there was supposed to be a print booklet with interviews with the main lineup riders, and other odds and ends that Rich Redmond wanted to include. Unfortunately, due to time and constraints, it never materialized, but Rich still wanted to share some of the ones that he had completed. Click below to read his interview with Jorden Guth.

Harley Haskett Photography – Favorite Five
Posted by Prashant - 19/04/09 at 01:04:59 pm
portrait by Nuno Oliveira
Harley Haskett is a name familiar to some. He’s a behind-the-scenes worker in the Canadian BMX industry, making all sorts of things happen with and is responsible for much of Ten Pack East. He’s gotten the new Ten Pack Distribution site up and running, updates the site, and handles much of the team stuff and blog. Harley was out this way in Ottawa last summer for the Ten Pack Am Contest at CP, and after that was stoked on Ottawa, especially the quarry. He’s an avid photographer with a unique and candid style, so I asked him to send through five of his favorite photos, and he chose a specific theme for them. Click the link below to check them out, and hear what Harley has to say.
