The Beast

I miss skating with this buddy.

Beaster, frontside boardslide.

Style.

Swing....and a miss.

While most skaters are itching to get back out into the streets, I, myself have been feeling a little sluggish trying to get back into the swing of things. Have no fear, as soon as mother nature stops throwing some heavy curve (snow)balls at us every other week this blog should fill up with a bit more photo content. In the meantime, indulge below, my friends.

Mitch, frontside flip. One of those, "But dude,

you were so close!" type of situations.

Drew, getting urban downtown Toronto with

a front crook to fakie.

Isaac, backside noseblunt at a very rad DIY spot

in Toronto. The utmost respect goes out to

whoever built this - sometimes skateboarders

amaze me.

Scott and I managed to get out one night while

the streets were temporarily skatable. Ollie

the hydrant to 5050 the curb.

Beaster, backside noseblunt. This little buddy's

interview just came out in Kingshit. Bow Digga

showed me his footage in Barcelona last winter

and my basic reaction was, "I need to shoot with

this dude." That being said, I'm stoked to have

gone out shooting with you bud! Good work.

Attack of the Slack

It seems like the burn out has hit everyone as the end of the season draws near, myself included. The next time you see a blog post it might be mid-winter in some southern state.

A somewhat chilly Michigan weekend.

Ben, frontside bigspin.

The weekend after and much nicer.

Jamie, nollie heel to fakie.

And the weekend after that.

Beaster, backside 5-0.

Byron's got a nice front board.

Tyler at the fat stack.

Kinda over it, and out.

The End is Near!

It's a heart break and a fact that all skateboarders have to face when September swings around. Yes, the end of the season is near. No longer can we count on every day being a sunny, warm and being able to skate without lights and a generator until 9:30 in the evening. The plus side to all of this is that when it is sunny it's the most perfect time for skating. A light sweater for protection just incase you do happen to get roughed up all the while remaining comfortable and not sweating buckets...ah yes, perfection. Below is a good example of a perfect fall weekend: sunny and perfection temperatures.

Peekabo....

It's Beaster! Caballerial.

Met up with Tyler O'Grady and he wanted to

huck at some stair case switch stance. I obliged.

Put your hands in the air, it's Sunday and

sunny!

Mitch got down with

a noseslide.

Jamie backed him up going switch-footed.

There were a few minute kinks to be worked

out.

Jesse, front lip.

"The Dark and Sad side of

Christopher Quick" coming to

a theatre near you!
