Train Trip
http://www.vimeo.com/9580345This type of [rail]road trip is very much something I’d love to do with my kids when they’re older. Hopefully, the concept of doing so with their old man is still something that interests them by then.

BMX Pepsi Pro-Am 2009: Pro Finals
Quick and dirty edit from the balcony at the Taz on Oct. 24th 2009. Max Vincent took that one! So much height and precision!
http://www.vimeo.com/7254981
Audio track is Galvanize by the Chemical Brothers. It was playing at the beginning of the finals so I thought it’d be appropriate.-

Jim Brunelle has a a much better edit: http://vimeo.com/7678807

Presence BMX Jam 2009 Goodness
Today was Presence BMX’s summer jam here in Montreal, and since I had an iPhone on me, I thought I’d post updates on Twitter all day (easiest updates+videos+pictures on the go).
Here’s how it went for my angle, as seen on my twitter account or in their search tool:
- And so it begins!
Video: http://twitvid.com/1B60F - First casualty of the #PresenceBMXJam: I broke my fn chain on a grind… No worries, came prepared! :)
- Getting crowded at the #PresenceBMXJam. AWESOME!
Photo: http://twitpic.com/ev8g5 - Mad Tuck no hander by @macneilbikes Dillon Lloyd!
Video: http://twitvid.com/0C910 - And while he’s at it: @macneilbikes‘ Dillon Lloyd barspin 180 over stairs!
Video: http://twitvid.com/BAC38 - Rent-a-cop mafia…
Photo: http://twitpic.com/evfms - Montreal’s iconic, legendary Big-O!
Photo: http://twitpic.com/evgkb - Mike Fiz 360 at the Jacque Cartier slab.
Video: http://twitvid.com/31E9C - Siiiiiiiick!
Video: http://twitvid.com/8EB7D - Corey Dewey manual to wallride.
Video: http://twitvid.com/22B71 - Chillin’ at the slab, off to bum park shortly.
Photo: http://twitpic.com/evyjk - Ah ah, window foot plant.
Video: http://twitvid.com/8AF9A - So, @macneilbikes‘ Dillon Lloyd flared the Big-O! That’ll be a Jeremy Deme exclusive video though. Think it’s a first. :)
- Bum park.
Video: http://twitvid.com/58A3C - Manualand.
Video: http://twitvid.com/1F6F8 - Lost the crew while switching spots cuz the cops were starting to hover like flies on a turd.
- At the final spot were the BBQ will be. Can live with having UAB to myself until they get here!
Photo: http://twitpic.com/ewksz - If there were any doubts I need a new frame, today’s outcome seals the deal. Not over either.
Photo: http://twitpic.com/ewlpm - High-hop contest: 40″, that’s what’s up. Greg (same guy) did pull 42″ right after.
Video: http://twitvid.com/F38E6 - And a quick LOL as probably the last video before my battery dies.
Video: http://twitvid.com/FBFFE - And this concludes the #PresenceBMXJam 2009. Noon-8:30PM. Not bad for an old fart like me (when considering the rest of the guys’ age). ;)
T’was a good day. Mad props to Jeremy Deme and the gang for being such a tight crew and keeping BMX in Montreal fresh! :)
- And so it begins!

BMX/Skate Spots: Rails, Rails, Rails, and More Rails
Montreal, July 1st 2009: Not sure why, but I got stuck on a rails trip as I was roaming the city this Canada Day. I’ll be frank, I wouldn’t even try quite a few of the following, but I thought I’d “document them” anyway. :)

Confined Spaces: 360 Over Spine to Flare, in a 10' Space!
The Taz Skatepark’s staff rolls in two quarterpipes at night to leave room for speed skating on Sunday morning. So the monthly BMX jam crew decided to give the unusual setup a try. Here’s what Charles Deschamps did with it. :)
http://www.vimeo.com/5357597Here’s more riding by Charles for your enjoyment.

Fresh Batch of Montreal Street BMX/Skate Spots
If you’re a Montrealer, you’ll probably know most of these spots. If you’re not and happen to be in our great city, finding yourself wanting to ride them, I guess you’ll just have to ask me where they are. ;)

smoovebert
been meaning to make a trip up there soon, it was freezing and no fun when i was there last.
-
Stephane Daury
You should come in the late spring, summer or fall. It’s often beautiful then. :)

Erik

i live in montreal but i really dont know any of downtown, where’s #20?… -
Stephane Daury
Erik: 20, 21 and 22 are at the Berri Square, on the de Maisonneuve side.

Damian
.. and how about #5? I’m just learning to ride street and this looks like a good spot.
Thanks!
-
Stephane Daury
#5 is in the Parc Lafontaine, in the school yard (you can see the shadow of the tabletop here). #1 through 5 are all in the same park. Very quiet spot on weekends, ideal to learn. Lots of flat to practice too.

Montreal's Newest Skatepark: Le Taz – Panoramic Views
Here are some quick and dirty panoramic views (QTVR + frames) of the Taz, Montreal’s newest skatepark. Embed VR scenes from the pictures can be found below the gallery.
Construction happened during the Winter, so the even larger outdoors park (94,000 sq/ft) is not built yet. With 83,000 sq/ft indoors, I think we can wait another couple of month. ;)
Sorry for the abysmal quality, but I had more important things on the mind: riding, riding aaaaand, riding! :) Don’t worry, tons of pictures will surface online this week for sure.
Feel free to download the movie files if you want full screen. -
Damian, 
Erik and one other person are discussing.

The track is “Black Day in December”, by Said the Whale, a Vancouver band. Yet another time a riding video will have led to me discovering new music and buying a new album. :)
