Vancouver Trip

Ben Glassen - January 2011 - BMX edit

Hey everyone,

Winter is treating me alright. I have an awesome job working at the International Composting Corporation plant in my home town of Nanaimo on Vancouver island. I feel good about working there because I am giving back to the environment we all take so much from. The other perk to this job is that I have a shovel in my hand at all times and there is plenty of labour. Im in the best shape I have ever been in. I get to consider work my 40h a week gym.

After work I have been digging hard on my jumps. I have every day this week for the hour of light I can get in. Weekends are nothing but tricks around here, going to the Sand Pits to learn all sorts of trickery for this season's Slopestyle Contests. Backflips are DIALED and Tail-whips are getting there. I have 360 variations coming out the ying yang and am having the most fun I have ever had doing tricks.

Style + Now Tricks = Gnarly Fun Season?

Hey Everyone,

200th Post on our blog

Happy Hanukkah everyone,

I have been celebrating with my friends at home in Nanaimo and teaching them about my culture a little. I injured my ankle at work recently keeping me off the bike. It sucks because the weather has been so nice here on Vancouver Island.

Today I worked on the jumps my room mate and I have built. I spent time rebuilding a burm after the original set. After the corner the plan is to build a size LARGE set of two jumps. One step at a time and now the burm is big enough to help you carry speed into the future Back Set.
