Do you live in or near Canada? If so, you're stoked, because BC's Ten Pack Distribution has put together a cool mini-tour through some hot spots with international riders representing the brands they carry. Here's the info:

Ten Pack Distribution Presents the '09 Re-session Tour
This summer we're getting together with a bunch of Ten Pack companies to hit some of our best shops and ride some amazing spots across Canada. Animal, MacNeil, Kink, Demolition, Federal, Verde and We The People are all in on it. It's not going to be anything too formal. We'll just meet up at the local shop and ride the local park or street spots. We're super psyched for it all to happen. It's going to be a really fun time. Keep an eye on the tour blog for all the details.

There are already some interviews up on the tour blog, and they'll no doubt be posting pics and updates once the tour kicks off. This is a great chance to ride with awesome dudes in a chill environment, so get on it if you've got the chance...

Josh Betley is keeping busy. We've got his new edit for Felt Bikes that you see below, and he also snagged a feature interview in the new BMX Plus! magazine. He just finished up a contest over in Berlin, Germany, and it's even rumored that he's got a signature frame coming from Felt soon. Hustlin'!

Brian Osborne, who helped put together a bangin' BMX program at Duffs before leaving to launch a new shoe brand called Beloe, is now back at Duffs. Seems the investors backing Beloe had to make some changes, leaving Brian out in the cold, but thankfully he's back in the fold at Duffs. BMX Union has a good interview with him that you can check out right here.

Pictured above is the new Duffs Jimmy Levan signature shoe, and you can bet more good stuff is on the way...

Greg Flag, that's who. Federal just threw up a team page for Greg, including the ridiculous rail hop photo you see above. They also posted a bike check with Mark Love, which basically let the cat out of the bag on Davey Watson's new signature frame, the latest in the barrage of low-standover machines hitting the market.

Part of the Demolition crew is on a road trip in Northern California at the moment, and they've been posting lots of pictures and video from the trip. Sounds like they're getting a lot of filming done, so we're looking forward to the upcoming DVD.

While we're on the subject of Demolition, check this edit from Allan Cooke, spotted on Vital. It's one of those "one hour at the Unit" things, and now that Allan is brakeless and freecoaster-equipped, he's got a couple new moves...
