Pooched It!
I poached this clip of poached footage from a morning moss sesh like 3 or 4 weeks ago. Mike Maines was on fire landing every trick possible. Props to T-Cab with the Smith Seq. Holla!

Bolton Park!
The Dream is now a reality, well, almost. Last weekend, John and I traveled North up to Bolton for an early sesh at the brand new Bolton Park. We got in a decent session with some of the local skate rats, the park wasnt 100% finished, but it was close enough. There were still large sections of concrete that still needed to dry, and they were tarped off. But the parts that we could skate were amazing. Its pretty cool when you get to see, and SKATE a park that you helped design from the ground up.

Pimp My Space
Recently, I recieved an email from Gordons people, requesting some footage for Andrew's MySpace page. I thought it was a little wierd, but whatever, some people like to pimp thier page.
"Hey Kris King. This is Andrew's friend.. we need the footage for him personally. We're editing his myspace and want some footage. We'll give you thanks. Email it to cxxxxxxxxxxn@hotmail.com Thanks man!"
Hopefully this footy will help Gordo mack hot internet bitches!

Ed Templeton and Toy Machine have come out with another gem of a video, Suffer the Joy. Toy Machine videos are instant classics. I still watch Good and Evil on a daily basis. Cant wait to see the new B-Marks and J-Lay footy!
Classic.

Bump to Three
This spot was recently blown up when the 5Boro team came and put the hurt down in Toronto. Its a really fun spot, and is tucked away from most anyone who would care, or kick you out. T-Cab and I decided to mission to find this spot, and came up succesful. We also found some other dope spots, such as a gnarly 11 stair with perfect run. Heres some of the footy from the day.

Plan Bizzle
Plan B - Life After Death
A real YouTube Gem. Amazing skating from the whole team. I think Ryan Galant gets the VIP on this one. PJ Ladd has to much control to be human. Classic Wenning footy aswell.

The Block is Hot!
Its nice to have some half decent weather these past few days and be able to skate with the crew of 428! Just a stones throw from our apartment is this curb spot. Its super rad cause they re-paved it, and left the parking blocks in during the process. The end result is a perfectly skatable, slappy-able, painted block. We wax the hell outta the bitch and grind for days. Heres what went down Sunday night!

Two Thumbs Up: The Lost Tapes
Simple Fact: To put together a video, you need to film.... alot. More often than not, you come up with footage that was just for the hell of it, or a "maybe this could work" angle, or just some stupid line that didnt go down. These next few videos will be just that, the unused tapes. Im in the works of putting together all the lost or old footage from the past Two Thumbs... I mean years. Enjoy!

Reppin Bolton

Labella and I recently had the opportunity to help plan, and design the new skatepark being built in Bolton, Ontario. The township of Caledon had a few meetings with the local skaters, and brought in a design firm to get started on some plans for the new park.
We didnt make it to the first meeting, but that wasnt a huge problem, because we hit the second one hard. It was obvious that the park was pretty un-skateable, and we knew that we could change that.
We set up a smaller third meeting, with the designer, town counsil, the rest of the KBS team and a few others. We came prepared with scale drawings and layouts of the park we wanted to build.

"No, Scrap it, We want this here, and this here.... NOW!" - John LaBella
We were amazed at open they were to our ideas, and actually willing to design what we had brought to the table. John, Phil and I completely re-worked the whole bottom half of the street section, added our own obstacles, and gave the park a much more skatable, flowing design.

They have already started construction, and they say it should be done towards the end of november. Its really a simple design, so I dont see any problems with that. We all know that skatepark deadlines are really just up in the air. Cant wait to skate it though.
Check out http://www.ccsk8.ca/ for more info on the park.
When Your Downtown
Its been amazing living downtown, just a quick skate or street car will get you to any spot. The 428 crew (T-Cab, Labella & King) hit up the streets with Mr. Adam Cseff during a recent visit. We didnt film much, but here's a little bit of footy from the night sesh.

Tyler O'Grady
I've known Tyler for a little while now. Ever since he was stoked on my high-top dunks, and told me he went to school with Amira. There have been alot of rumors going around about some serious shit this kid has put down. They are all true. Rob and Andrew LeGrave have been hyping him up for a while now, but I had only seen bits and pieces of his footage. His skating in person is amazing (funny to think he got beat by LaBella in skate! haha), huge pop and sick steeze.
This video clip is pretty amazing. Tyler is defiantly one of Torontos best up and coming skaters. Hopefully he can come out and shoot some photos with T-Cab, and get some recognition.

Busy Busy Buys
Its been a while since I posted some new footage on here. Dont get your hopes up, I got nothing. Well, thats a lie, Will has something, and since I have been busy as ____ lately, Im gonna steal it from him!
Just some recent park footy and a little fog bank action. Between work and moving/packing/unpacking I havent been out filming so much, but with the new apartment downtown, WESTmetroPRODUCTIONS could be on the rise! Stay tuned for some hot downtown actions.

Brick Banks
These banks suck. They really do. Interlock has no mercy, even when its formed into a perfectly shaped bank. Im sure Will would kill this place with his 62mm's and good bearings.
No one could really land anything on this thing, Cseff almost had some casper stalls and tre flips. Maybe we will go back... If anyone wants to skate it, Sherbourne and Richmond.
