Toronto Toronto Toronto

Spent last 5 days in Toronto. My first stop was Chinatown and the Stephen Lewis Foundation office, to meet the staff and show off my bald head. Thanks again for the free A Dare to Remember t-shirt and resources (pictures to follow).



Then on to the International Toronto Bicycle Show, where I was volunteering at the Toronto BMX Jam. After spending most of Friday and Saturday morning registering the riders, Saturday afternoon and Sunday was spent live tweeting about the #TOBMXJam on the @TorontoBMX account. My friend Scott Mills (@GrafittiBMXCop) got me set up on his blackberry, and I was off and running… I mean tweeting at the top of the 10ft ramp.


Scott was gracious enough to take some pictures of me with the graffitied ramps and post the information about my head shaving. He's quoted in the Toronto SUN article about how the BMX event comes with an anti-violence message. It was neat to hear him talk about the various graffiti artists and the youth he's working with. Keep up the good work Scott!

Also in the facebook album is a couple of pictures of my brother Drew Bezanson (@drewbezanson) with my Mom and myself. Drew is an International Pro BMXer and we're very proud of him for placing 2nd at the Jam!
