Taylor Elvy sent through a quick update with this dope crooked grind photo by Jason Vawter and a few pics of the fresh paint job on his bike…
“Hey man. A week long of rain was getting to me so I decided to give my bike a fresh coat. It looks sick! Here’s a pic I’m stoked on that Jason Vawter has of me, too. Talk to you soon homie!” – Taylor
Check out a few more photos of Taylor’s freshly painted Borato after the jump.

“In early December Taylor Elvy, Dillon Lloyd and Greg Flag took a flight from Canada to hit up the Vans Rebel Jam in Holland. Following little sleep and even less practice, Dillon finished 7th in street. After a fairly docile couple of days living it up in Holland the guys headed to the UK for three days, en route to their final destination, Barcelona, where they would spend the next fortnight filming with ‘The Northern Embassy’.
The crew spent three days in between their travels alongside filmer and UK rider Mike King hitting a few local spots and skateparks in and around Brighton, including the Seventies warehouse and even caught a few hours in London, as well as spending some time with the other UK guys Ben Green, Vinny Mayne and Billy Cooper doing some sightseeing and experiencing a touch of the Brighton nightlife!
Here’s the resulting video..” Mike King

I hate when my chain rattles.
What do you go through the fastest?
Grips, pedals, and wheels.
Where do your old parts go when you’re done with them?
In the garbage if they’re broken, or hook up shredder kids.

Greg, Dillon, and Taylor are on the tail end of their Barcelona trip right now. Check out a few photos from the last week.
Greg Flag in the middle of nowhere Barcelona.
We met up with Louise from Rapit BMX, our distributor in Spain, and he and his friends showed us around.
Dillon grabbed his trick at this rail right before we got the boot and some serious altercations went down with some onlookers and the authorities.
Taylor strung together a solid line at an earlier spot.
It’s starting to look festive out here.
You can check out more with the guys on their Spanish trip with updates on Northern Embassy.
Greg, Taylor and Dillon are all in Barcelona following their trip to England. They are filming with a big crew on a Northern Embassy trip. Check out a few photos with the guys below and check back for more updates soon.

Lots of magazine coverage lately. Here’s a two page photo spread from the recent issue of Ride of Andrew Lazaruk taken on our Vegas trip earlier in the year.
The same issue also features our ad with Taylor Elvy for our Fashionably Light pegs.
We just got Taylor Elvy’s team page online for everyone to check out. Taylor’s been getting things done out in Vancouver whenever it’s not raining, watch out for some stuff from him soon. Check out his team page here and check out his welcome to the team edit again, so good!
We are super excited to officially welcome Taylor Elvy to the team. He’s been riding a MacNeil for the past few months, came on the last trip with us, and has been filming like crazy for his welcome edit. We are stoked to have him a part of the team and keep an eye out for his team page real soon! Big thanks to Jeremy Deme for filming and editing the video.
