Chris Silva – LandoZine ‘05 from iccsilva on Vimeo.
A drastic jump of about 20 years from last week’s Throwback Thursday, but this is the ender part from Landozine’s 2005 release Illusion of Man, of our friend Chris Silva. Footage from back in his days of Hyper Bikes and backyard ramps.
Also in Chris Silva news, if you haven’t heard already, he has started his own small clothing brand titled Sour Fever. A small, grass roots effort, where each shirt is hand screened by Chris himself in Toronto.

I haven’t posted a Throwback Thursday piece in a while, but this should more than make up for it. Frank Krul is an Ottawa rider from way back in the day. About 8 or 9 years ago Frank got back in to riding (after getting his hands on Jay Miron’s first run custom complete Macneil bike through an airport screwup) and back in to the modern day scene here in Ottawa. He has since moved to Halifax, but recently posted a bunch of great old school photos to Facebook, and he gave me permission to post a bunch of them. He’s still has lots, so expect some more to come down the line. You can read his statement and then click below to check out the rest of the photos.
A huge part of my life was filled in by skating in the 70s/80s and and BMXing in the 80s/90s. From doing shows for Pepsi/Frito lay to doing a tour from Ontario to PEI with Boardwalk, meeting pros like Tony Hawk, riding with Dave Mirra before any of the Xgames, and practically living at Kona skatepark when I could…I present the following look into my past.

Posted by Landozine - 18/12/09 at 01:12:17 amI dug this little picture out of the vault today. A classic Jeff Bedard shot. This was at the Ryan Heights skatepark in Sudbury that, for all intensive purposes, Jeff and I built. This park was great; when we started riding there, we’d get kicked out all the time because it was no bikes allowed. By the time the park died 5 or 6 years later, Jeff and I had keys to the maintenance shed, ordered the wood we wanted and built the ramps we thought would be best. In retrospect I wish I had known more about ramp construction because we could have built some really amazing stuff, but regardless I’ll always love that place for what it was.
This was of course before Jeff got himself tangled up in the world of Ci-gars and could pedal fast enough to get speed to do something like this… oh those were the days…

Posted by Landozine - 26/11/09 at 11:11:43 pmI have such a hard time remembering to post throwbacks… like every Wednesday I think about it, and then BAM all of a sudden its Friday and I’ve missed the boat. But this time, I’m on it. And do I have a good throwback for you all! First off, this is before my time… as this video was made before I had any connection to the Ottawa scene. Brandon Lalonde sent it to me today…
Rich Redmond’s First Video Part!
The riding in this part is hilarious. This is exactly how I remember Rich the first time I met him. Pedal fast, huck hard, and hope for the best. Now all he does is roll around with his foot dragging on the tire. Maybe this will kick start his brain and we’ll have the old huckster back in no time.
Enjoy.

Jeff tucks over the smaller pyramid.
I don’t know if these photos are old enough to be considered a ‘throwback’, but in light of hearing that this spot in Jersey City, NJ has been torn down and plowed, I thought I would put up these photos I had on my computer from a trip four years ago. Click below to read more and see some more photos.

For this installment of Throwback Thursday, I bring you a photo of Kyle Lafleur from several years ago. twisting a pretty decent one footed x-up over a barely existent box-jump at our old home park, Ryan Heights in Sudbury. For anyone who never got a chance to ride this park, it was in the middle of a super sketchy neighbourhood, and was totally run by volunteers. This photo predates Kyle’s learning of barspins, which is pretty much the only trick he ever does now. He used to be pretty good.
Throwback Thursday: The Cockmaster Edition
Posted by Landozine - 23/07/09 at 01:07:57 am
For this Thursday’s throwback, I dug through some old photos (physically, not digitally) to try and give you all an idea of where the Cockmaster came from. Where he learned the cock wielding skills he now flaunts.
Pictured above is Jeff in his dad’s ruthlessly green truck back in like 2001. I believe this photo was taken outside a wal-mart. I’m not really sure what we were doing there… but I’m pretty sure he fondled a mannequin in the store…

Posted by Landozine - 17/07/09 at 12:07:19 amIts been a while since Prashant has thrown up a throw back, so I took it upon myself to give you all a hot blast of steamy nostalgia; right across the nose. This is a photo that I took a little over 4 years ago at CP, right after it was first built. I came to Ottawa from Sudbury to visit, and sample the legendary new concrete park that was built here. Rich was kind of a big deal back then, before he got old. I think he was like 28 or 29 in this picture. A spring chicken. He threw these clownside whips over the hip to the amazement of everyone present. Note the lack of graffiti….
