I've been away from my computer for a bit so that explains the lack of posts throughout the holiday season but I'm back and I want to wish Will Fisher a happy belated birthday.

I also want you all to go to the Seshin Bikes site and check out the new rider videos. Steven Moxley, Kean Fougere, and Greg Flag all have web edits up and they all rule. So be sure to check that out.

The offseason contest

2008-11-24T18:36:00.003-04:00

We finally got hit with our first snow storm of the year. 33cm of snow will put a stop to riding pretty quick. So that means the offseason is upon us. Devin is killing the winter blues by working on his Lemmy look and he seems to be off to a great start. So we were thinking about how we could make the winter seem a little shorter and naturally a contest came to mind.

How do you spend your time during the offseason?

You can send your pics, videos, or stories into jeremy_shear@live.ca All entries will be judged by a panel of really bored Shear riders. The winner will be chosen based on originality, creativity, how many people you piss off in the process, and the mood we're in at the time. The winner will receive a Shear package and the winning pastime will be posted on the website. All entries must include:

-Your Name

-Age

-Mailing Address

-Your entry

All entries must be received by December 19th and after we make our decision, we will inform the winner and ship out your prize. Only email entries will be considered. Good Luck!

Day at the trails

2008-11-11T20:39:00.005-04:00

Despite a few rain drops we got a few hours of dirt jumping in this afternoon. The dirt gets kinda sandy and isn't very fast but we made the best of it and Ryan got some filming done.

Whats new with Shear

2008-10-21T22:32:00.010-03:00

Here's a pic of Kyles new ride. A 97 Yamaha YZF750. That machine looks killer. Kyle's been nursing a broken wrist for the past few weeks but this should keep him busy until he's back on his bike.

In other broken news Ryan's knees are in rough shape after taking it on an X-Up flip on a dirt jump in Nova Scotia over the weekend. But even with a pair of haggard knees he still managed to film a few clips for an edit that should be out pretty soon so keep an eye out for that!

Kean has been working hard on building a new skatepark in Chester NS and he sent me some pics of the progress a while ago. There has probably been way more done to the park by now because these pics are a few weeks old (due to me slacking). But here's one that he sent in. Park looks like it's going to be fun!

Broken Thumb!

2008-10-12T03:17:00.005-03:00

So after a really fun weekend of riding the Guelph trails (thanks to the locals for building the best set of trails in Ontario) I ate shit, broke my thumb and cut my knee open.

I could go into detail about the Alligator death roll that took place as I descended down the landing... But I will just let you enjoy it here:

This was shot on the same jump a few days prior and I was slightly more successful.

New Video and a New Car

2008-10-04T12:52:00.007-03:00

Well after a long summer of riding and work I managed to accomplish two things. I finally bought my first car. I picked up a 1998 BMW 328IS and if i know how to blog correctly (which i don't), you should be able to see it here:

Three things you should know about this car:

-It's super clean with Low km

-It's 5 speed.....

-It's much cooler than driving your grandparents stratus for two years.

I also edited a video from the footage i acquired over the summer. It's mostly street stuff since London doesn't have much to offer skatepark wise, so needless to say I'm out of my element. But don't worry i threw a few older skatepark clips in at the end, a shot at redemption you could say. I will attempt to upload it..

Rob Gallant throwing down the last double peg grind he'll ever do at the famous alice street rails in truro NS. These rails were the first rails for a lot of riders around here and it'll be a sad day to see them get torn down. Plans to tear the school and rails down have been made and it should be going down soon from what I hear. Sad times for sure.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been clocking some hours on my bike which all you you should be doing. But you're obviously not so here's some random news about what's going on here with Shear. I'm currently working on a new shirt design that should be out early October so keep an eye out for that.

Mark Lockhart just bought a new truck and he does flairs. So Mark wins. Wins what? Doesn't even matter because Mark rules. Photo taken by Chantelle B.

Ryan Gagnon and I have been filming for a local video that Martin Goguen is making. When he drops a Trailer I'll post it up for sure. Ryan just got back from a trip the the US and brought mono back with him. So he's not in the best shape these days. He says he should be back on his bike riding sometime in October.

We have a new feature on the website thats called "pic of the month", this is where you guys send me pics of Shear related material ie: someone taking it on a rail wearing a Shear shirt or anything else as sweet as that. You can send your pics to jeremy_shear@live.ca and we'll post them up.

This video of Kean has been floating around the net for a bit and it was just posted up on the REDbmx site so that was pretty cool.

Jeremy Deme has another presence video featuring the Montreal crew in the works and it looks sick. Greg Flag has a few killer clips in the trailer and I can't wait to see the full vid. Jeremy also made the video "yesterday" last year which was amazing and this one can only get better.

In Other News

2008-08-06T10:45:00.002-03:00

Congrats goes out to Steven Moxley for getting hooked up with Seshin Bikes. Seshin also just came out with a few new products that are definitely worth checking out. seshinbikes.com

I just got back from a great trip to Montreal and Quebec city where I got to ride some with Greg Flag at the UAB skate park in Montreal. Expect a bike check with Greg's new Seshin Shithawk V2 to pop up in the near future.

Now that I'm back we should be filming pretty steadily for Martin Goguen's next local video. We haven't gotten much filming done so far so we have lots of catching up to do. Will Fisher has also been doing some filming of his own so if we're lucky we'll get to see what he's been throwing down lately. Definitely cant wait for that web edit to come out.

There is a BMX Jam in Miramichi NB on August 16th at their skate park. Start time is around 2ish and it's 5$ to get in. All proceeds are going towards a new ramp for the park so any help would be greatly appreciated. We're also in the process of planning a Jam in Dieppe at the Youth House park for the weekend of August 30th. I'll give you all the details when I hear more.

I know he's not actually on Shear but here is a neat edit that Martin Goguen put together from one night of filming kerry. Tuck no handed fakies are sick. Keep an eye out for Marty's next video. Video = Premiere = Pat Benatar Skaryoke = Way too many bikers on a tiny stage downtown Moncton.

More Ink

2008-07-10T22:48:00.003-03:00

In other tattoo news, I just got a new piece done on the back of my left arm. Ghandy at Hell or tattoo parlor did

the Highwater work and he did an awesome job. I'm really stoked on this one. This picture was taken in a mirror so it's not actually spelt backwards. Ryan Gagnon also goes in for his second session to finish the color on his half sleeve towards the end of July. So a big thanks goes out to Hell or Highwater for hooking a few of us up with some sick works or art.

In other Ryan news. He's finally off the injured list and back on his bike. A bit of bad luck kept him out of commission for a few weeks but having messed up ankles is nothing new to him.

Shear Does Parlee Beach

2008-07-06T14:21:00.004-03:00

On sunday July 27th we are getting together with good friends, world record holder Roger Leblanc and the Production-X motorcycle team to do a demo at the Maritimes most populated beach in Shediac N.B. The show will be free to watch and should be pretty cool. Come out for a wicked day of bikes, bikes, and more bikes. Oh and the beach too.

In flow team news, Alex Leblanc tried to explain to me where and how he was going to jump his motorcycle in one of the busiest spots in town. I couldn't quite picture the jump but I'll definitely be there when he does it so keep checking in for updates. Something about seeing old 13 flying through the air has got me pretty stoked.

Got Inked

2008-06-29T18:58:00.005-03:00

Ryan just got the first session of his sleeve done. The rest of the coloring should be done around the 23rd of July. Jeremy is also going in for some more ink of his own sometime this month... hopefully.

Walk For Muscular Dystrophy 08

2008-06-22T22:51:00.003-03:00

We've done what seems like a ton of demos over the last few weeks but this last show was really special to me. We rode all day for families dealing with muscular dystrophy. Michel Bourgoin, Kerry Melanson, and I got to meet some incredible people at the walk and I'd like to thank everyone who helped make it possible and for allowing us to be a part of this incredible event.

Grand Falls

2008-06-18T22:00:00.005-03:00

Michel Bourgoin and I just got back from doing a safety demo for kids from kindergarden to grade 8 in Saint Leonard which is just outside of Grand Falls N.B. It was a super fun show and a big thanks goes out to Michel's grandparents for all the delicious food and everyone who helped organize the event. Martin Goguen came along to film so you can expect to see some of what went down in the near future. On the way to Grand Falls we stopped in Fredericton N.B. to ride some street. There are probably a billion rails on the UNB and St Thomas campuses so it made for some decent clips for Marty's next video.

Project GT

2008-06-11T13:24:00.005-03:00

Over 120 Vital members uploaded videos to have a shot at winning a spot on Project GT for one year and our boy Steven Moxley has been chosen as one of the top ten finalists. I don't know all the details yet but from what I got out of it he gets a new GT frame and a spot on the team for a year. Which comes conveniently after he just bout a new federal frame. Check out Vital to see Steve and the other 9 finalists videos. Congrats Steven!

Suburbia Sucks!

2008-06-10T16:11:00.003-03:00

So this morning at around 8 am, I'm awaken by the sound of a knock on the door. I get up to find a police officer standing at the door. Apparently you are allowed to park a vehicle on the side of the street but parking a mobile ramp is strongly prohibited. I guess there is a by-law that says I can't park my ramp on the street. The police officer even went as far as to run the license plate number and knew me by name. The best part is that the complaint came from the garbage truck driver. I was told to re locate my ramp by this afternoon or he'd give me a ticket. So now the ramp is in my driveway were it won't hurt any garbage men. So let that be a lesson to anyone else who may have a mobile bicycle ramp parked on the street. When garbage day comes around please be considerate and move it so they can do their job.

Twilight Ramp and Flatland Contest

2008-06-10T09:03:00.003-03:00

A good friend of ours Jon Dowker puts on this raamp and flatland contest every year around the end of August. It takes place along with many other events surrounding a road race through the streets of Kyle's home town Athens Georgia. Kyle couldn't make it this year because he was on the road for 6 weeks riding his bike. Click HERE to see some pics of the contest posted up on vital.

Jeremy on Monster

2008-06-08T20:38:00.006-03:00

I was just given the opportunity to ride for Monster Energy through a local rep. There are a few things in the works between us as far as jams and shows. I couldn't be more stoked about the situation. It was a great move for me and I look forward to working with them. The ramp will be getting a Monster facelift soon and should look sick.

We're setting up the ramp and riding at Centennial Park in Moncton N.B. on sunday June 22 for the annual walk for Muscular Dystrophy. It's a great cause and we hope to see you all out there.

2008-06-03T11:32:00.000-03:00

I know I haven't been updating the site as much as I should have, but now we have Blogger. I know it's not as fancy looking as some of the other systems but it's super easy to use so I should be updating the site very often now.
