The wait is finally over!! We had so many amazing submissions for our video contest this year; it was extremely tough on our judges to come up with the winners. Everyone here at the Northern Embassy is stoked on all of the submissions and could not be happier to see that BMX and video making is still alive and well across the country. Check out all of the videos below.
In a world of 15-second Instagram clips and constant social media churn, here’s a silver platter of Canadian BMX videos from recent months. This is the Northern Embassy’s Video Round Up.
We’re pretty slow to the draw for posting this one, but better late than never, right? Here’s a batch of 2019 clips from Manitoba street jibber, Brenten Wylie. Filmed by Brandon Sawchyn.
Ian Peters put together this street mixtape featuring much of the Winnipeg scene. Slick camera work and solid riding make this an enjoyable watch. Check it out.

Brenten has been doing his thing cleaning up the flat ledges in Winnipeg over summer. The feeble hard 180 around that “C” shaped ledge was super clean and I was pumped to see a ghost feeble too!
This is banging, Shawn Franz, Matt Perrin, Colin Thiessen, and Brenten Wylie rode Minneapolis for 6 days and absolutely shredded.
Trust me when I say that the judges had a very difficult task in judging this contest. We received 18 amazing edits, and although these 8 didn’t quite make the cut, they are all awesome in they’re own way. BMX isn’t and shouldn’t be a contest. That may sound weird considering that this was a contest but in reality it’s more of a motivator, an event to get people to document the amazing times that you have on a BMX. As corny as it may sound all 18 of the edits we received are winners.
Another big thanks to our sponsors: Odyssey, Etnies, Eclat, We the People, MacNeil, Fiend, Merritt, Gopro, BMX Gallery 4130, Repset, Federal, Sunday bikes and Joyride 150.
Above is Thetford Mines, QC’s Joel Rodrigue. Joel has been shredding all summer and making his way to Montreal and Quebec city events. Joel has a dialed street style and can throw the bars like nobody’s business.
Read on for the other 7 edits (in no particular order) and check back soon for the top 10.
