Union Press 4: R.I.P.
The fourth and final issue of Union Press is finally complete and now available. Those that aren’t familiar, Union Press is a Canadian BMX newspaper with photos, profiles, stories, and drawings by Brad Hill and Prashant Gopal (myself). After a few hiccups with printing, we’ve finally finished our latest issue, which will also be the …
Shawn Duffield Photography
Shawn Duffield by Sarah Fox. Shawn Duffield’s name has come up quite a bit lately on this site. We’ve posted videos he’s filmed, random photos shot by him, and he even submitted a great shot for our Fall Photo contest.

Music: A Charlie Brown Christmas Album
Searching for what to play at your Christmas party this weekend? Your DVD of a burning fire place has become un-funny after about 2 minutes?

Eric Otto put together a compilation of all the Canadian riders that showed up the the AM Flat Tuner Evolution contest from earlier this fall in Philadelphia. This video is …
Please Hango, Don’t Hurt ‘Em
Damn. Chalk up another crazy video this week from the west coast. Jordan Hango pedals full speed at spots all over Vancouver in this one for Fit. Too many wild moves in this to start listing them out. Extra points for the use of an instrumental Beastie Boys track.
Jason Plourde Transitions
I remember riding flatland with Jason Plourde outside of Montreal ages ago when he was a young and extremely hyper active rider. He had so much speed and creativity then, now fast forward probably 10 years, after plenty of time spent doing shows in China and further progressing his own riding style, I can say …
