GOOD LUCK BSS @ THE POLARIS AWARDS
We would like to send our most heartfelt best wishes and good luck out to our friends and RVCA Advocates, Broken Social Scene at tonite's 2010 Polaris Music Prize awards ceremony. The band is nominated for their juggernaut of an LP, Forgiveness Rock Record. And even though BSS are up against a murderer's row of Canadian independent music talent we know they are gonna walk away the winners, making it the 2nd year in a row that someone in the Timebomb family (Fucked Up in 2009), takes home the illustrious award. Good luck boys and girl.

Tommy Sandoval A Day Uncut
Check out this edit shot all in one day of filming with LRG's Tommy for his Ride The Sky part HERE. One of the gnarliest pieces of skating we have witnessed: A banging line, a filler line, and his last trick for a part all in the matter of a couple of hours. Dude is a beast.

Right from the first round Stack looked unstoppable , posting 2 out of the 3 highest heat totals for the day. His quarter final heat saw Stack combo the rest of the field with two 8 point plus wave scores. In the semis he took down an in form Fisher Heaverly , with a barrage of ariel antics . The final saw Stack vs Michael Dunphy . In a wave starved final, Stack capitalized on a priority error by Dunphy and posted a 6.5 to move ahead of Dunphy with 3 minutes left in the heat.

CDN Concrete Brookswood re-cap
The final etnies Canadian Concrete of the summer was held at Brookswood park, Sunday, August 29th, an it was without a doubt, the largest bmx jam the lower mainland has seen at an outdoor park! 400+ people were in attendance, riders and spectators alike, who came to shred, support, and heckle in Langley BC. Pro class was unusually lean due to so many regular entrants being out with injuries (get better dave Meyers, Jason teet, and James Vanderkamp!), however, stand out Brandon Van Dulken definitely shone is his first ever pro win. Young gun Anthony Messere came in second with huge tricks and transfers, and Wade Lajlar rounded out the top 3 with his usual insane tricks that no one else does. The biggest stand outs though were young guns (13 years old?) Adam Piatek and Greg Dieno who placed 1 and 2 in the Am Great class respectively. These kids are the next Canadian pros so definitely watch out for them next year, as we are for sure bumping at least one of them up to the money class. Check the video footage HERE.
