Vans Canada In Ottawa

September 6, 2022

The Vans team up in Canada went to work in Ottawa!

When the Vans Canada team gets together, you know they’re going to be bringing the heat. They recently got together for a trip to Ottawa where they went to work on street spots, rocks and more all around the city. As expected, this turned out real good and it’s such a solid watch. Check it!

“Vans Canada have a hell of a stacked squad – shove ’em all in a van and you’ve got the ingredients to a killer recipe. Watch Mike Gray, Dillon Lloyd, Justin Hughes, Ryan Eles, Joel Fortin, Dean Hartley, and an injured Chijioke Okafo take on the streets of Ottawa.

Northern Embassy – Chijioke Okafo 2021

December 24, 2021

Now this is what we’re talking about! The Northern Embassy have released this new Chijioke Okafo video that we’re sure you’ll be stoked on! As always, Chijioke delivers with a ton of heavy moves from the streets with big grinds, huge wallrides and crazy fufanu and abubacas that you aren’t seeing too many other people able to pull off. The ender is especially one you NEED to see. Hit play because this one is definitely a Must See.

“Our resident website designer and all-around good guy Chijioke Okafo has a work ethic that is rivaled only by Mariah Carey’s during the holidays. The dude isn’t afraid to push himself, and some of the crazy (nbd?) combos in this video are proof of that.

Mike Gray, Chi, and I (Joel Fortin) have been going out on missions all year, hitting different zones around the GTA looking for things that Chi could fuf, ice-pick, or abubaca. Our long drives in Mike’s Rav through sometimes desolate industrial zones eventually proved worthwhile, as they bore many fruits in the form of biking clips. Chi stepped up to some heavy setups during the process of filming this video, and more often than not he walked away victorious. I’m proud of my dude and I’m really stoked that we got to work together on this. I hope you guys like it.” – Northern Embassy

Vans – Coastal Loop

November 1, 2021

The Vans Canada squad loaded up for a road trip to spend some time going to work on spots around Vancouver and the west coast of Canada. Hit play for just under 8 minutes of dialed riding! It looks like this was an awesome trip.

“This goes hard! The Vans Canada BMX team took to the West Coast of Canada to explore Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast, some of Canada’s most spectacular landscapes, and untapped spots. Many of the towns along the Coast have no road access, due to a huge Mountain range, making them only accessible by Ferry. This unique route consisting of four ferries leaving Justin Hughes, Dean Hartley, Chijioke Okafo, Mike Gray, Chad Ferch, Ryan Eles and Joel Fortin with an experience they’ll never forget.

Check out this fresh BMX video featuring Mike Gray out slaying street spots up in Canada the past few months! As always Mike delivers with a ton of great riding that has a good mix of tricks and spot setups. There’s also a few guest clips from Chijioke Okafo, Joel Fortin and Mike Varga in this one. Needless to say, this one is too good to pass up!

“We’ve got an awesome one for you today! With the Canadian fall and winter transition in full effect, Mike Gray, accompanied by filmer Joel Fortin, took to Toronto’s streets to get some shit done before it was too late – any dry day was made the most of! Needless to say, Mike filmed some incredible clips for this, including his passion for rooftops and technical rail moves. The ender is this is bananas! There’s even some guesties from 3 other Vans Canada riders to boot.

Suck A Peg! North Jersey Scene II

July 5, 2020

The crew out in New Jersey coming through with another full-length BMX video for your viewing pleasure! “Suck A Peg!” North Jersey Scene II” is just over 40 minutes of riding from a ton of familiar faces on countless spots the place has to offer from rails and ledges to parking garages, the Merritt warehouse and much, much more. Get on that play button and take it all in!

“After driving countless miles on New Jersey highways with potholes big enough to catch tranny and spending all our money on tolls, we’ve managed to pull together enough cellar door footage and find enough handrails with questionable runups to finally finish this slightly above average video. Featuring full length parts from Willem Jorgensen, Ricky Lopez, Marc Ramos, Justin Seiller, and Zack Henderson. With clips from Anthony Catlow, Charlie Crumlish, Chijioke Okafo and more to spice up friends section, now you have a somewhat decent bike stunt movie that will only be slightly wasting your time.”
