February 19, 2005 – Vancouver, BC Canada

With the Toronto Metro just 12 days away and the Pro class almost full, we've already got some of the the biggest names in BMX already signed up for our 6th annual contest at the Toronto International Bike Show. With guys like Ryan Nyquist, Morgan Wade, Gary Young, Dave Osato, Corey Martinez, Bas Keep, Chris Doyle, Kye Forte, Van Homan and Kevin Porter coming, you just know the riding will be wild, and the styles will be all over the map.

The Toronto Metro and big video premiere's have become synonymous, and this year will be no different. MacNeil's road trip video 'San To Van' will follow the team of Gary Young, Alistair Whitton, Robin Fenlon, Nick Halsey, Harrison Boyce, Josh Nendza and veteran road tripper's Dave Freimuth and Jay Miron as they head north on the 1-5 from San Diego to Vancouver hitting up parks and street spots all along the way. The premiere goes down Saturday night at 9:00PM at the Bloor Cinema, and 850+ person theatre not too far from the hotel district where most people will be staying. The show is all ages and open to the public.

At the Metro, local BMX shop Hogtown Sports and mail order 3Ride will have booths in the BMX area selling all the latest parts, clothing, videos and shoes, and Orchid will be on-site showing off all the newest shoes for Spring '06, and if we're lucky they'll have samples of the newest line for Fall '06 with them too.

Watch for the Metro ads in Dose Magazine the week leading up to the Metro. Dose is a daily magazine that can be found on the streets and in the cafes of Toronto, Ottawa, Edmonton, Calgary, and Vancouver – it's a source of information, ideas, and tools for young Canadians, by young Canadians and we're stoked to be working together with them.
