Throwback Thursday
Posted by Prashant - 11/12/08 at 12:12:15 pmThis week I have two very different throwback photos for you to enjoy.
Here Andrew Grant demonstrates a proper tobogan out of the 5 foot mini back in the early days of CP.

Posted by Prashant - 27/11/08 at 08:11:33 amThis week I have some really great throwback material. After some pre-winter cleaning at Joe Mamma’s, I stumbled upon these great photos.
The first photo dates back to the Freuban contest held at the old Ottawa Skate Park. To all you ultra new school kids, take a look at what we used to get to ride. Many of the ramps in the photo were constructed only a night or two before the contest too. You can also notice the abundance of 26″ wheels, as this was right around the peak of the whole ‘urban mountain biking’ scene in Ottawa.

Here is another classic gem. Edmonton’s finest chimney cleaner, Ted Bambrick, with a tailwhip out of the Kanata Skatepark. Photo shot by Dave McCaig some time before the pre-rainbow bike era of Ted.

Throwback Thursday
Posted by Prashant - 02/10/08 at 08:10:06 amI want to start an occurrence on here called Throwback Thursday, where I will post an old photo, video, or just something from Capital BMX history that was made or put up a long while ago. Going through my files I realized there is lots of old material that has been on any of the previous incarnations of this site, so I might as well dig some of it up to reminisce. It may not come every single week, but Thursdays will be the day of classic material.
To start off I bring you back to two years ago to the CRO contest held at the old Ottawa Skate Park, where we held a mini rail contest the night before. Brandon Lalonde edited this, and you can watch Karl Oxendoxin chest slam on to a rail, with toy guns waving in the background.
