Jamie Burke and Chris Silva are working for the City of Toronto Parks Forestry and Recreation Department at the Wallace Emerson Community Centre on the BMX Bike Park as summer jobs. They will be teaching BMX Skills to kids, and helping out with the BMX Bike park all summer.

Jamie and Chris recently installed new art work done by Graffiti Artist Kedre Browne aka BUBBLZ on a quarter at the BMX Bike Park.

The art work known as 'The Human Bird'. It is the Toronto Blue Jays logo done over a BUBBLZ piece.-- See video of Bubblez and Phade painting this art work at the event called http://streetimpact.ca at Yonge and Dundas Square in April, 2008 on YouTube here:

Jamie does some riding after the interview.. and goes up the "Human Bird" quarter and becomes a bit of a 'Human Bird' himself..... The crank on his bike breaks and he wipes out.. Thankfully he was not hurt... !

What is the first thing Jamie does after he breaks his crank ?? .. calls the manufacturer of course... to get a new one as soon as he can.. You fall down, you get up .. you carry on .. you do your best !... Way to go Jamie !
