Hawaii Did I Ever Come Home?

Melanie coming out from one last shred before sunset

I just got home from a week long vacation in Honolulu. Let me tell you, going from -20 to +20 in a matter of hours is incredible. Stepping off that plane I was immersed in a very strange, yet entirely appealing culture. I’ve never really enjoyed the USA very much, they tend to have their heads up their asses and their noses in everyone’s business. Hawaii didn’t strike me that way at all, and I’m left to assume that this is a result of their geographic isolation and polynesian influence.

Roland’s Woodward Log – Day 1

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.

Woodward Trip 2009

We just got home from a gnarly visit to Woodward camp in Pennsylvania. It was an incredible trip, and I’ll elaborate on it in a bigger post in the next couple of days… but until then I just couldn’t wait to put this picture up. Roland was opening up new lines at Woodward, a task not easily accomplished when there are pros visiting daily. In this photo, Roland is trying to handplant the sub across the channel from quarter to bank. Its a 4 foot gap from one to the other and he ends up right upside down. Sadly he never pulled it, but he had some of the gnarliest crashes trying…

Check back for the rest of the woodward coverage over the next couple of days.

September Toronto Roadtrip

Chris Chitaroni put together this video he filmed and edited of his, Jorden Guth, an Andrew Grant’s trip to Toronto earlier in the month.

Stinktown Roadtrip

This ramp doesn't even make sense. The only thing it was good for was doing a high five on top of.

For the past couple of days, Jorden Guth, Andrew Grant and I were engaged in a short BMX tour of Toronto. I always look forward to visiting stinktown; its constantly an adventure. From the crazy jibberish speaking hobos, to the amazing pizza places on every single street corner to the abundance of incredible riding spots, you can easily spend a weekend immersed in the constant engagement of awesomeness.

Sudbury Trails Spot Check

With more hype than ever surrounding these mystical beasts, I figured I would do a little writing about a beautiful set of trails over yonder in the northern part of our province. Only 5 hours from Ottawa lies some of the smoothest running trails around. Rich, Ginger and I made a trip to ride them last month, and ironically Chris ended up killing himself on a handrail before he had a chance to really slam on the dirt at all. After Ginger’s accident I kind of forgot to upload any of the good pictures we got riding the trails that weekend so here they are. Rich has since gone back with Jay and Jorden, and they’re apparently not getting any less awesome.

Ottawa to Van: A 39C Odyssey – Part 3

In what seems to feel like an almost infinite amount of content that came from 39C’s Vancouver road trip, we have a third installment of photos. While on the Vancouver portion of their trip, the weary travelers all stayed with the hospitable Adam McKay who shot a bunch of fantastic photos of and with the guys. Click the link below to check them all out.

Ottawa to Van: A 39C Odyssey – Part 2

Not only did select members of 39C (i.e. Marc Boudreau) send me a huge helping of photos from their Vancouver trip that I posted just yesterday, but Kyle Lafleur also sent me a story detailing their whole trip as well as a big handful of new photos. Click below to read the whole story and check out all of Kyle’s photos.

Ottawa to Van: A 39C Odyssey

The tenants of Ottawa’s most notorious BMX house (39C Deerfield), Jeff Bedard, Marc Boudreau, Jamie Lawlor, Kyle Lafleur, and special guests Leland Nightingale from Toronto and Andrew Gobbo from Hamilton, took a two week driving journey from Ottawa to Vancouver and back. In between heavy sessions of what I can only imagine consisted of ci-gar smoking, beer drinking, and artery clogging food consumption, they managed to ride a huge assortment of new stuff, see sites, meet new riders, all the while Marc snapped photos along the way. He sent along a big assortment of different stuff from their trip that you can check out in full by clicking below.
