If you’re in Montreal or can make it there next Saturday (Feb. 11), 514 BMX are putting on the fourth installment of their Winter Jam series at Le Taz skatepark and it sounds like it’s gonna be a blast. Hit up the event page here and go check it out!

Taylor Elvy (MacNeil/Animal/Almond) and Greg Flag (MacNeil/Almond) throw down on their back alley set up in Vancouver, press play!

We announced that Wayne is now representing Duo up here for us a bit ago and now here’s a little edit to go along with the news. Gucci shreds the indoor spot in Winnipeg in this one, thanks to Eric Marshall for hooking this one up.

MacNeil’s newest team rider, Kevin Kiraly, has a great interview and bike check up on the Ride BMX site, go check it out here!

The crew at Demolition got team rider Brett Walker to give you a bit of a rundown on their Momentum tire and mix it in with some footage of him riding their warehouse ramps. We have the black and gum wall versions in stock now and will have the white walls soon, check out the edit and hit us up to get some Momentum tires in your shop!

Federal’s new Liquid fork features a new style dropout made using the invest cast process. The dropout and lower leg/end section is one piece and joined to the fork using a high tolerance fit which is both brazed internally and Tig welded externally for a strong joint. The Liquid fork also features butted and tapered legs and a one-piece CNC’d steer tube with integrated bearing race and notched cut line. The Liquid fork still retains classic Federal fork geometry and weighs 2.06lbs. Check out the other colours after the jump and hit us up to get some in your shop!

Now this is the way to start off your week! In addition to a quick bike check and the Facebook interview we did with Corey Dewey (Federal/Animal/Almond), he also put together a dope edit from some indoor sessions at Le Taz skatepark in Montreal. Check everything out after the jump and thanks to everyone who sent in some questions and to Vlad from Imported BMX for filming and editing the video. Above photo by Mike Cardin.

You’ve been on the Federal program for a bit now, how’s everything going with that?

It’s been awesome man! Couldn’t ask for more, all the parts are dialed and I’m always pumped on everything they’re doing.

What’re your favourite moments from any of the Ten Pack summer tours that you’ve been on?

Getting to see homies that I don’t get to see nearly enough is so fun, seriously way too many to list. One that pops into my head right now is Jimmy Steele stealing a bag of oranges at like 4AM in Alberta somewhere and just lacing them at Luke Santucci in the hotel room. The next morning there was soo much pulp everywhere….good times! Other stories may include a little too much male nudity and might scare off younger audiences.

What are your plans for 2012/what are you looking forward to this year?

Gettin’ hitched for sure, gonna be an awesome time bringing the families together. Ten Pack trips should be good as well, a lot of friends have moved away over the past couple years so I can’t wait to see all those guys.

What’ve you been doing to get through the winter?

Playing hockey, fiddlin’ with a little guitar, hangin’ with the girl and riding at the Taz. Just a bunch of fun stuff.

You have a pretty relaxed attitude toward riding but you still get so much crazy shit done. Have you always had that approach toward riding?

Yea man, just love having a chill session with the guys. I’ve never been one to stress a trick at a certain spot, I always do my best riding at unexpected spots while just having a good time with friends. I can’t do that one on one filmer/rider thing, doesn’t work for me and I don’t want it to.

How many times do you think you’ve watched ‘The Last Waltz’ so far in your life?

I’ve estimated somewhere between 75 – 90 times. No exaggeration.

Any thanks?

My fam, my girl, my boys and my sponsors. One time!

-Facebook Questions-

What’s up with coconut water? (Brad Hill)

That shit will cure a hangover like you wouldn’t believe my man.

How many parts do you break per month? (Spencer Ramin)

In the winter definitely zero. In the summer I’d say I go through some spokes, a couple tubes, maybe a tire or two and a set of pedals every month. Other than that I don’t really break parts.

Have you ever considered challenging Ryan Howard to a game of peg only B.I.K.E? (Jake Montgomery)

No way man, that dude would throw down an X-up feeble down a curved kinked rail and I would forfeit! That guy is seriously so good, always really pumped on seeing new sections from him.

What’s you personal best line? (Kyle Symianick)

I was fooling around on a little flat rail one day and did an over ice to tooth to back over. Probably the hardest thing I’ve done seeing as how no matter how much I try I can’t do it for the camera, haha.

What else do you do other than ride for your sponsors ? (Mathyy Kink Ouellet)

A lot of stuff man. I work a lot, play hockey and like to travel. In the winter months riding is unfortunately a small part of my life but in the summer I’m always taking time off and trying to stay on the bike everyday.

Yah, what else do you do other than ride, Dewey? (Matthew Brais)

COD…(loser life)

Salut chume, how’s the suburban life? Where you gonna get your flat rail fix come spring? Why do you spin the wrong way?(Jeremy Deme)

Suburban life is good homie, just shovelin’ snow and chattin’ with the neighbours, ya know? And I will build a flat rail, don’t you worry! I don’t spin the wrong way man! Aitken spins that way, how can it be wrong??

What’s your favourite grind? What kind of music do you like to listen to while riding? What’s your favorite BMX video? (Devin Burns)

Fav grind has gotta be lockin’ into a decent ice. I don’t listen to music while I ride, if you’ve ridden with me you’ll know that I spend more time talking about shit or shit-talking than actually riding. Best videos ever are the Presence vids, how fun is watching a video with all your friends?

How did you get sponsored? (Greg Sharpe)

Got really lucky to have some good friends and I was able to play mind tricks on them into believing I was good.

Une tite Tremblay le gros? (Mike Fiz)

Pourquoi pas big?

Do you miss jumping the box jump at UAB? (Greg Flag)

Ohhh man of course, I’m terrible at riding tranny but actually had the setup at UAB dialed in from the years…man, wish that place was still around.

Will there be an open bar at your wedding? (Sean Cooke)

I’ll see what I can do about that bud, if you can make it down I’ll make sure you get some free drinks. Not for Greg though, I can’t afford that.

So this is pretty huge news…Kevin Kiraly has parted ways with Verde and is now riding for MacNeil! Having been on a couple of summer tour trips with Kevin in the past I can easily say that this is an awesome move for MacNeil as Kevin is a righteous dude to hang out with and easily one of the most amazing riders of today. Congrats to both MacNeil and Kevin, here’s the official release from MacNeil…

“MacNeil Bikes would officially like to welcome Kevin Kiraly to the team. We couldn’t be happier to bring Kevin’s focus on progression and documentation of technical street riding to our team. As a resident of California, he has been able to enjoy great weather this winter while filming a ‘welcome to MacNeil’ edit that is in the works. Along with that, he is about to leave on a trip to Australia, so you can expect to see and hear a lot more from Kevin and MacNeil in the near future.

We are super excited to have Kevin as a part of the team and have a lot of great things lined up with him as well as the rest of the team in 2012!”

MacNeil just posted up this quick little edit with Greg Flag, Dillon Lloyd and Andrew Lazaruk from their drive to Vegas from Vancouver for Interbike back in September. Couple parks, couple clips!

The first Facebook Interview of 2012 is gonna be with this guy right here, your favourite rider’s favourite rider, Corey Dewey (Federal/Animal/Almond). Same as usual, over the next few days hit up our Facebook page and drop a question or two in the comments below this picture and we’ll post the whole interview up in the next bit with some other Dewey goodness. Shout out to Mike Cardin for the dope photo.
