This spot is one that I have been wanting to ride for the longest time but has been one of the Ottawa regions best kept secret’s. The spot originally found and concealed by a few local Ottawa skateboarders was eventually revealed after a “riding spot” for “riding spot” trade was made to the local BMX riders. 25 minutes outside of Ottawa is this rock quarry with Canadian shield rocks formed from what looks like Glaciers sometime long ago. The Spot is in my eyes deemed a natural bike park. The 25th of May was my 26th birthday so I took the day and my Norco Rev out into the woods to ride these amazing transitions.

Check it out and stay tuned for a shorty Video coming soon!

One of the newest additions to the Norco team for 2010 is BMX rider Ben Kaufmann. Most recently Ben was in Montreal at a benefit Jam raising money for a fallen friend.

A few traveling B.C. Riders Held a Benefit Jam this weekend in Montreal at UAB Skatepark. The Jam was to Raise Money For a Rider Stu Timms From Australia that had a bad accident on December 11th, 2009. Stu was at the beach and went to dive into the water and, a very common danger, dove head first into a sandbar. Sadly he has suffered a spinal crush fracture at C5 level and unfortunately has been paralysed from the shoulders down. The Jam was to raise money for Stu and his family. The Jam was super fun and raised a bit of money for the downed rider. There was a best trick over the box jump contest, a best tech trick contest, and a bunny hop contest. Some Crazy Riding went down. One of the best events I’ve been to in a long time. Stay Strong Stu! Here are some photos by Rich Redmond. And More Photos at www.benkaufmann.blogspot.com.

This May not be a traditional blog post… but I feel that it is worthwhile getting the word out. The Norco team has two new additions in the world of BMX. Have a look for yourself.
