The Rise: December 2008

Steven Moxley Seshin part

So my fellow Dillon just sent me a link to the seshin video part starring Steven Moxley. The truck driver drop in and the opposite footjam to footjam to vader to footjam to canjam were insane.

Hey I got this picture from some secret source (I wont say who it is since taking this picture is probably illegal due to the fact that you have to be really badass and get over or under a fence to then acces to a private land that is actually paid by your parents taxes so its not that much illegal but whatever). So this is a picture of the inside of the new Taz, you can see that they have started building the ramps! I dont really know when it is going to be ready, and I wont post a link to the Taz website since I want you all to go to Uglyassbikes on a regular basis. That being said, happy holidays to all of you!

SAGBMX at south-parc

Sagbmx recently made the trip to ride southparc and I found this short video on their website. It mainly shows Charles Descamps (crazy 360s) and Max compartino (white bike). These 360s looked so good, cant wait he lands them!!

Industry Skatepark contest

I just saw this on the industry skatepark website. They are having mtb and bmx contests on january 17/18. There is also a good chance that the premiere of Everywhere will be happening there that weekend. Thats pretty much the only info available for now, but if you need any more infos just email Brandon@industryskatepark.com or visit industry's website! Hope to see y'all there!

A day in the life of: Dakota Roche

Found a cool little video on the fit website, Dakota seems to be a super chill dude. And it makes no sense how crazy the cops are about bicycles in skateparks! Maybe Quebec isnt as hot and sunny as California is, but at least we can ride pretty much where we want! Oh and merry Xmas again!

What the f*ck is wrong with people these days? If you type "Xmas girls" on google, the first image you get is actually a bunch gay dudes wearing speedos....

The video day

entry for a video contest from Vincent Allard on Vimeo.

Another cool update from Vincent Allard.Its not bike related but whatever, check it out:

Two weeks ago, Simon Villeneuve rang me to let me know that their will be a video contest at a ski resort up north december the 20th. The idea was quite simple. A production crew would follow a ski crew for a day. We could hit a special rail park that was designed for the event itself and we could also film everywhere else on the mountain. Our team, the Allweknow team, was composed of Simon Villeneuve as b camera operator, Micheal Hill as the photog, and me as the main camera operator and editor.

The day started early, around 4 am because I had to pack my things and get Micheal at his house. We drove to La Réserve, where the contest was, to meet with Simon and the rest of the team. The idea was quite simple, for the first part of the day, we would follow the guys all around the mountain and the second part of the day, we would hike to the snowpark.

The first thing we spotted was a gap over a rock that had a good ten feet of drop after it. They fired it up quite early. After that, we split up. I would follow Guillaume, Greg and their buddy Mike till lunch. We got some really decent clips and we went to eat lunch.

After the lunchbreak, we went to the snowpark to jam with the other teams. The quality of the footage wasn’t as good as before the lunchbreak because the sun was behind the mountain. We filmed a bit at the park and we moved on to the handrail. Guillaume stomped it pretty clean.

After the handrail, we had to edit. I had like 3 hours to edit 15 minutes of footage on a 3 minutes song. No need to say that i was pretty rushed up. I managed to make it in time. We watched all the edits. Judges decided that mine was the best so we won the video contest.

Overall, it was a pretty fun day. It was my first time shooting skiing and doing those kind of contest. I couldn’t ask for more. The day ended up at Wendys where we ate a couple of hamburgers. Very naice!

Photocred goes to Michael Hill. You can check out more of his amazing work by clicking this link.

Barack Obama

EDIT: the original poster's photobucket bandwidth exceeded so the picture dissapeared.. great

3 wheeler

Reading this post might be a waste of time. Now that you know it, here it is. Vincent Allard (yes, the one producing amazing bike videos) keeps talking to me about how nasty 3 wheelers are and how they are the best thing on the planet, he shows everyone a cellhpone video of him riding his 3 wheeler in some trails at his cottage, and today, just a few minutes ago, he randomly sent me this youtube link. I kept telling him that I dont give shit about it but he really likes them so I figured out he would be happy if I post this. By the way this is no disprespect, I just wanted to do something funny. Now watch the video and have fun, that 3 wheeler is actually doing pretty good!
