Swoooooooooo for Breakbrake17!

2011-12-28T02:47:00.000-05:00

Misha and I have been filming throughout late summer and he hit me up tonight with this edit. I'm pretty stoked on how it turned out and had a blast filming and hanging out with Misha. I hope you enjoy this as much we did making it!

Bike check!

2011-12-23T12:05:00.005-05:00

I've got a few new Spike components on my bike: hubs/hubguards/sprocket/cog. A quick little bike check video to show that, and some clips from the past few days of riding! Merry Christmas everyone!

YNOT shop visit

2011-12-23T03:44:00.006-05:00

A couple days ago I gave the new YNOT shop a visit and it turns out with the holidays coming up and me moving back to Vancouver right in the middle of it all, that this would be the last time I see the the YNOT crew for an undetermined long amount of time.. It's so amazing to see how much this company has grown right in front of my eyes. I saw Tony first messing around with the idea of some

Quick fall clips

2011-12-21T17:27:00.001-05:00

Been getting some clips for a new bike check the past few days. It's been great to not have to be strapped down to a desk cramming for exams for once. Just put some falling shots together for fun :) Here's a couple screenshots I thought were funny: Ninja kicking the ground Bowling?

Spike parts on ma bike!

2011-12-21T09:37:00.001-05:00

Alright, so I've got the new Spike hubs and sprocket fitted onto my bike now, and I gotta say I've been getting nothing but compliments. These hubs look like super beast and unique! The sprocket is also super slim and sexy as well. Also the 1 piece chromoly design is beyond amazing! I've personally never had a problem with play in the inserts from previous sprockets, but I know of a few other

School's done, bike update.

2011-12-20T10:50:00.000-05:00

Alright, I've had one of the busiest couple of months of my life so far, but this semester is finally over, so I can focus a little bit more on bike stuffs and posting updates on this little blog of mine before I head off to Vancouver. A few weeks ago I received some new Spike components from Yang. I took them over to my buddy Sam at his new shop Chill n Go Cycles, and he built them up to a

Mail day: SPIKE PARTS

2011-11-30T20:39:00.001-05:00

I picked up a package today from Yang over at Breakbrake17. He sent over some Spike Parts goodies and I gotta say, I'm super stoked to finally see these babies in real life. Yang sent over a hubset, hub guards, 33t sprocket, 12t cog, bottom bracket, and a bunch of stickers. I went ahead and took some photos for everyone to see :) I swear these things look freaking amazing, the one

Ian was in town the other day with his new GoPro and caught a bunch of clips. Straight up next day delivery edit! Super chill and fun times!

Reunion with my prototype frame.

2011-11-17T23:45:00.001-05:00

I lent my prototype frame to my good friend Misha for a while, and having not much time to ride any more combined with his returning love for rollerblading, he decided to drop the frame back off to me today. Seeing this frame again brought back good memories! I'm definitely stoked to have it back in my hands. I'll be hanging this one up on my wall :) This frame means a LOT to me. I've had

YNOT straps: theft proofed

2011-11-16T19:42:00.001-05:00

On the night of Halloween while I was stuck in the library all night cramming for midterms, my YNOT straps were stolen off my bike. BOOOOOOOOO! I found out at 4 in the morning when I came out to ride over to McDonalds for a late night snack to recharge my brain, and it sucked. Luckily, Tom was able to link me to a new set as soon as we could meet up. Now, I've had YNOT straps on my bikes for

CR shirt contest winner: Daniel McDiarmid

2011-11-16T19:25:00.001-05:00

Daniel McDiarmid from San Fransisco was the first to send me all the correct models of the bikes. 1. Fuji Track 2. IRO Mark V 3. Volume Cutter 4. Gorilla Kilroy 5. Grime Yo Mang Congrats Daniel! Big thanks to everyone who's been supporting me and my little blog so far. And also to Sarah who did the wonderful drawings for me (I couldn't figure it out for the life of me haha)

I've finally done it..

2011-11-15T00:15:00.001-05:00

I've finally done it, I've taken the beautiful Breakbrake17 Charmer and made it somewhat weird looking.. I've had this suspension fork lying around for quite some time now, and this idea in my mind for just as long. Finally got around to putting in the effort to put it on and I must say, it's funny looking, no doubt. It feels just as funny to ride as well haha. But I gotta tell ya, there's

It's been a while, who wants a free t-shirt?

2011-11-09T19:46:00.001-05:00

I've been ridiculously busy with everything, so I apologize AGAIN for the lack of updates on here. I've also been meaning to do this little contest thing since mid summer, so it's long overdue but here it is. It's very simple. Be the first to email me the correct models of these bikes. Now get thinking! And just so you know, this will be the shirt:

Some new pictures

2011-10-20T17:04:00.001-04:00

I sent these over to Yang for the Breakbrake17 catalogue coming out, but apparently it's too late and they're already being printed! :( Either way, I ended up with some pretty shots I'm happy about! Got these maybe a week or so ago, went out with Denis and he helped me get these.

Have you ever been run over on the face?

2011-10-17T14:24:00.001-04:00

This past Saturday after the minidrome, everyone went down to a local pub/bar thing for an after party. I was kinda hesitant, but decided to drop by for a bit. All is good (kinda boring) until I decide to call it a night. I think it was around 1:30am when Denis, Michelle, and myself started heading north toward our living areas. Now, this weekend had gorgeous weather for us Torontonians,

New tires

2011-10-15T22:19:00.002-04:00

Today was the Toronto Fall bike show, where bike stores try to clear out most of the current year's stock to make room for the 2012 stuff coming in. I worked all day at my shop selling bikes and talking loudly for hours upon hours. My throat actually hurts, from just talking to people about bikes for several hours straight. After the show, we had some leftover tires that the owners didn't

REDBULL MINIDROME!

2011-10-08T16:11:00.001-04:00

I'm at the redbull minidrome, I just did my run, feelin dizzy and tires by it was MAD fun! Sittin here hopin my time was good enough to make it to the head to head pursuits!! :D

My bikes: Mini-fast track/clown bike

2011-09-25T00:03:00.004-04:00

So this is just a little project bike that I've been wanting to do for at least a year and a half actually. I've had these track drops just lying around from my old bike, so I wanted to build this funny bike with it. I've just been waiting for the right kids bike to pop up on craigslist since then. After finding the right bike and getting a few more parts together, it was literally a 15

Random night sesh with Denis

2011-09-24T10:30:00.001-04:00

Facebook chats went from one thing to another and Denis and I ended up going out for a late night ride at 3 in the morning haha. It was a lot of fun pushing each other to learn new tricks and also just hanging out in the near empty streets of Toronto.

Breakbrake17: Whole bunch of new things

2011-09-24T03:31:00.000-04:00

Breakbrake17's been very busy in the past months pumping out whole sorts of new products. They've introduced their new parts line called Spike Parts, introduced a bunch of new frame colours, and now a very sexy track bike prototype! I'm sure you've seen them all already, but if you haven't yet. Check these out! The brand new Spike Parts website: http://www.spikeparts.com Charmer's new

My bikes: BMX

2011-09-23T15:08:00.000-04:00

I bought this bmx on craigslist, and have ridden it maybe 4 times. I can't do much on it other than small 180's and small hops, but man is it fun. Having a small, nimble bike to throw around, and also throw away from you if you're about to bail, is such a good idea. I don't know why nobody's ever thought of doing tricks on these things yet.. Every time I've ridden this thing, going back to

My bikes: Mountain thing

2011-09-22T19:51:00.000-04:00

This is my recently built mountain bike. I've actually been working on it for most of summer, just gathering parts and whatnot. Finally got it put together mid-September. But I still get to ride it this season and have fun because I just joined the UofT MTB club. It's a short season, but I get to train and race and just have fun hoping I don't fall. I haven't really gone mountain biking

My bikes: Winter warrrior

2011-09-21T15:07:00.001-04:00

This is my winter beater/commuter. I ride this thing around when the weatherman tells me it's going to rain, or if I know I'll be hitting the grocery stores on my way home from school haha. Yes, if this bike looks familiar, it's my old old Allcity Dropout LE that I crimped (ugh) and bent to shit. I semi-straightened it out with a 2x4 and the rear triangle's a little crooked but rides

My bikes: Fixie trixie

2011-09-20T22:06:00.000-04:00

This is my main bike: Breakbrake17 Charmer26. When it's not raining and I don't necessarily need a bike with a basket, I'm usually riding this thing around. Yeah, everyone's against the idea of commuting on a bike set up for tricks, but the truth is, it's not half bad. I ride a pretty decent gear ratio on there and unless I need to reach a ridiculous top speed, I'm good to go. Also, having

My bikes

2011-09-20T02:48:00.000-04:00

Those of you who know me personally know, that I have too many bikes to fit in this little basement apartment I currently reside in. Those of you who don't know me, will soon find out. I've been asked many times what kind of bikes I own/ride, so I decided to just show them all here, one by one, day by day. Even though I only own 5 bikes, when those 5 bikes along with the retarded amounts of
