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!
A couple weeks back we hit up Montreal to hang out with Liam and the crew at 514 BMX for their grand opening summer jam. Chijioke Okafo, Chris Silva and myself drove up and met up with Corey Dewey, Greg Flag, Mike Cardin, Mike Fiz, Eric Trepanier and a bunch of other Montreal and area locals for a super fun session. Everyone got down on the bunnyhop bar and some other spots we rode nearby under sunny skies. Thanks a ton to Liam for putting things together and having such an amazing shop and to our homie Sean Cooke for filming and hooking up the edit.
The 514 Jam went down on Saturday and we all had a blast. The weather was amazing and we all hung out in a park across the street from the shop and jibbed around on some stuff, had a bunnyhop/switch-footed bunnyhop/highest 180/highest barspin contest and then cruised some local spots after. No one wanted to challenge Greg Flag (pictured above) in the limbo contest, dude can get low! Check out some more pics after the jump.
If you’re in the Montreal area on Saturday, June 4 or can make it out, hit up 514 BMX for their Grand Opening Party. A few of us are making the trip up and it’s gonna be fun, there’ll be a bunny hop contest, 180 contest and a chill session at some spots near the shop. Check out the Facebook event page and we’ll see you there!
If you’ve been riding for a while in the Canadian scene chances are you’ve heard of the infamous UAB Skatepark in Montreal (RIP). Liam Mulrooney was the man behind UAB, behind one of the best indoor spots in all of Canada that helped the Montreal scene become what it is today. Although UAB has been closed for a while, Liam is keeping busy and helping the scene by opening 514 BMX. 514 is a dope, boutique-style shop that is located at 5586A Sherbrooke Street West in Montreal, close to some good spots and is stocked with everything you need. Check out some more pics of the shop after the jump and be sure to stop by to say hi to Liam and to pick up some new goods.
