Next Level

This kid is the next big thing in skateboarding. Always with a smile on his face.



And we all know Cole is retarted.

Gallant to Circa

Ryan Gallant has always been one of my favs. Always been down for the smooth style and trick selection. It just seems like hes on his own terms with skating. Doing it for himself. I guess it goes to show that if you stick with something you love to do, the pieces of the puzzle will fall into place.

Its a little strange to see him on Circa now, but, im sure its better for him in the end. DC is starting to stir things up, maybe it wasnt the right fit. All this hype footage makes me want to have 400 pairs of AL50's though. diaaam. Miss those days.



Lil throwback to the expedition days.

Back In Action

Now that things are starting to settle in at the new place I can post up some shizzz.

Photos of the new pad to come when its all set up.

RAD VID | Cory Kennedy

Like, yeah ok. I can do every trick, perfect, all the time. Deal with it.

Mixed Medium.

Came across this photo going though a friends FB albums. So simple, and so rad.

Gotta Start Blogging More.

really.

Guy.

Also This....




... For Those Who Know.

I actually own:
a) This copy of Mouse on VHS.
b) A working VCR.

New project. Digitizing old VHS footage. Awesome.

Sundays.

Carm is really good at bowling. Seen here, his step by step approach to nailing this spare. Bowlings awesome, but when you can put this much style into it... well then you just get something special!








Ever wonder what to do on a Sunday night in Burlington. Ontarios largest 30+ singles night at CLUB 54.







Thanks to Carm, Uncky Jay and Cheeseburger for the best Sunday ever. Till next week.

In with the old

Hot trend for 2009..... old pro-shoes!




Check out these OG Marc Johnson Emericas. Im sure for "legal" reasons, there is no M and or J associated with the name of this shoe, but dammmnn. So tight. With the original colour ways too! Sick. I think they are just calling it the "OG".



Emerica's on point for 2009. Reynolds Cruisers anyone?

Epicly Johnston'd

This is shaping up to be one hell of a series. Hate how im gonna have to wait to see them all. I think he could probably have a whole 10 episode series.... Just on his house alone. Also check out the Ty Evans one. Rad to see what he has to say on Transworld's video Feedback. Defiantly a pivotal video. Same wood.

Superbowl Spots

Doesn't really have anything to do with skating, but some of the commercials this year were awesome. Canadian television feeds suuuuck for that very reason, but, here is a link to view all the spots from 2009. I disagree on the winner.

Not the winner, but awesome.

Skate 2

So the skate 2 demo dropped yesterday. I may or may-not have taken an hour long lunch break to go home and download it.



Also, you can skate in vans eras. So dope.

Sk8 Mafia | Best of 2008

This video kind of took me by surprise. Im not heavy into the Sk8 Mafia saturdays, but they do remind me of what skating should be. Fun. Yeah lame right? Kinda throws it back to the old Sauga park days when we would just bust out the cam and filmed whatever happend. None the less, this video has alot of good skating in it to. Jamie Palmores section kills it. Tyler Surrey, Gray Brothers and Kellen James all have good shit too. Little dissapointed on the lacking Wes Kremer footage though. Dude kills it.
