The Northern Embassy dropped a fresh new edit featuring Jaumell Campbell, Greg Flag, Mike Boag and Shilou Larocque getting a session at the skateplaza in Edmonton. You already know these guys are capable of throwing down some damn good riding so take a peek and see what they came up with.

“Not as long as the first one but I thought I’d upload it anyway due to the shit weather. Sections from Dave, Roper and Fitzy.”
Apologies for not getting our weekly Products: column done on Saturday as usual. After Interbike I was pretty beat along with having to fly back to Minnesota and get all settled back in so I took yesterday off. I know, I’m a slacker… It won’t happen again for a while. I hope.
I do however have this weeks edition of Products: ready for you to check out for you right now. This week we’re going to do a couple more products than usual and look at a few of my personal favorite items that were on display this past week during Interbike. Let’s dig into this…
Another Interbike has come and gone. I can’t even believe it. There’s weeks of anticipation, followed by a few days of dreading how much work is involved in it, followed by kicking my own ass for 3 days straight and then a few days just to recover from it.. Then it feels like I blink and it’s already time to do it all over again.
This year made for my 5th trip to Las Vegas to see what the BMX industry had in store for us in the coming year. Once again I did the solo hustle from booth to booth snapping as many photos as I could while trying to retain product information long enough for me to make the next batch of posts. I hit nearly every BMX booth this year except for a few that were outside of the BMX zone or I thought I got to but didn’t. Apologies to the brands I missed. However, I did manage to hit 35 booths / brands which was pretty good for a one man job, right? Below you can find links to each brands booth incase you didn’t see anything yet, missed a few posts or just want to get a second look at what the brands had to offer this year.
Colony dropped a fresh video giving you a closer look at their 2013 Inception complete bike. They’ve also tossed in a few riding clips from Mick Bayzand, Dean Anderson, Cooper Brownlee, Marnold, Clint Millar, Nuke, Chris Courtenay and Alex Hiam for good measure. How dialed is that unit?

This is awesome. I don’t think a lot of people really know what goes into running a BMX company and how simple, but complex, that it can be. ESPN BMX dropped this sweet video that features Mutiny Bikes owner, Gaz Sanders, in their office and a quick look at their warehouse inside Empire. I bet you didn’t expect it to be so simple of a setup, huh?
“In 2005, Gaz Sanders and Joe Simon purchased Mutiny Bikes from founding owner Steev Inge and moved the brand to Austin, Texas. As the new owners took over the brand, Mutiny took on a new life as a bike company, and almost everything about the company changed. In the following years, Mutiny released several now iconic videos and revamped everything from frames to team riders to graphics (which, by my own admittance, are some of the best in BMX).
Now seven years later, Mutiny continues to produce some of the best BMX hard goods and videos in all of BMX. Recently, Mutiny team rider George Boyd decided to take a look inside the workings of Mutiny, and the above video is the result. I know everyone might be industry’d out after this week’s Interbike coverage, but this is a small taste of what it’s like in a home grown, rider-owned BMX company.” – ESPN BMX
It’s insane how fast Andy Buckworth healed up from that broken leg. Whatever he did was right because it looks like he’s back on it like nothing happened. Check it!
“Andy Buckworth broke both his tibia and fibula in his right leg and was told he wouldn’t even be able to walk on it for six weeks — four weeks later he was back on his bike! Buckworth is a beast. When it comes to injuries, tricks or really anything if you tell him he can’t he will be sure to prove you wrong! Find out how Andy Buckworth dealt with his injury and physical rehab and hear what he’s doing now in this Catching Up.” – Alli Sports
