A few recent things

Here's a few recent photos. Some you may have seen in print, some you haven't.

Marty Murawski and Jeremy Wray taking

a breather from the Ontario humidity this

past summer.

Kody Thompson, nosegrind through the skinny.

Jesse Landen, kickflip over the rail and into

the bank.

Marty Murawski, backside 180 nosegrind revert.

Mikey Plantus, ollie into the death bank. Shot

this on colour as well but just got the black and

white roll back.

Also updated the website with a few photos, take a look here.

Scum

Isaac and I were out of local spot ideas so we decided to try our luck at skating Cambridge and Brantford. Aside from the one gem in Brantford, the rest was shit just like we assumed. On another note, Aaron is home from school so he came out to shred while Lucas got his board focussed by a van. It seems like whenever I end up in Brantford or Cambridge the lurkers just get worse and worse, especially at the skateparks. Negativity aside, tricks we "copped" and fun was had!

Aaron, cruiser wall ride.

Kody repping the illest

(snow)board company of all

time. Front 5-0.

Now it's Sunday so I can only hope for better spots next weekend.

STAY UP PLAYER!

My good homie Kody has been having a bit of a rough first month of skating. True, he has been killing as of late, but the other night he just happened to break his leg. Definitely a bumming way to kick off skate season but he'll be back in no time.

A few days prior to his accident,
frontside bigspin off the bump and through
the trees.


Hardest trick ever: staying positive.


Get better soon home boy.

Some film clips

Just got some film developed and scanned up. Enjoy.

Kody got into a fight with the concrete
at the skatepark. You can't tell that his nose is
broken in this photo either.


Scott, first try 5-0 180 out. Jesus will forgive
us for waxing the ledge with red wax.


I told Andrew to sit pretty for this.


Aaron, bluntslide. This spot sucks.


Scooter, a tall and sticky backside nosegrind.
More than once for this guy.


Kody, lipslide.


Kody, muggin' with a cigarette.


Scott, ollie in.



Yeah yeah, most of these photos are of Scott and Kody, but they've been killing it as of late!
My next few rolls of film will be more diverse, my word.

Fueled by Tim's

Ingredients like no school, no work, 15 degrees and sunny make for one hell of a delicious day. It was mainly Kody, Scott and I for the day but the occasional others like Josh, Gary and Ben met up with us throughout different periods. Basically, our mission was to go from one end of the city to the other...and that we did. It seemed that throughout the day, at least someone in the car was drinking a coffee from Tim Horton's but still, nobody won roll up the rim. I'm not going to type much more because I'm dead so I'll just let the photos speak for themselves.

Scott, crook bonk in the name
of the Lord.


Tunnel vision.


Best buds


Scott, tailslide reverting before getting the boot.


Later on in the day Scott did this noseslide
pop in.


High fives, bro!


Josh SkateNinja Cowan


Josh, super sketchy front board.


It's been a long day.

The Mack is Back

It was the second last day of March break and looking sort of gloomy outside. I was at work and really fiending to get some some skating and shooting done. After all, this glorious week of skate was coming to a close and I wanted to get something poppin' off. While I was eating my lunch, I got a friendly phone call from my good friend Mackenzie. The young gun told me that he was back in town from his trip and was down to shred. After he hung up, I got my text message thumbs raging and started to get some plans happening. It came time to get off work and a bunch of us went from the skatepark to the downtown core to meet up with even more people. At this point, the crew consisted of Greg, Kody, Josh, Scott, a hungover Columbian(Lucas), Allan, Mack, Gary and myself. Amazingly, we collectively agreed on skating the white bank up in Waterloo so we went on our way. If you've ever skated there before, you can imagine that nine people zipping up and down the hill there is sort of crazy, and it was. After a while, people got bored and it was just a few people shredding around. A bunch of the homies got their flicks so check 'em below.

Allan, switch 5-0 to regs.


Mackenzie, pop-and-lock backside tailslide.


Kody, switch bluntslide shove out.

Night Riding

As I was getting off work the colour of the sky didn't look very promising. That, and it was getting sort of late to meet up and get a session happening. Anyway, thanks to the nice weather we've been having, the night wasn't that chilly so Kody, Scott, Josh and I decided to try and make something of it. On the way to check out a spot Kody had peeped earlier on, we discovered another one that Scott went straight to work on. We even found a good free-running/parkour spot while Scott as getting down to biz. Totally sick...bro!

Anyways, we got to this next grime-time spot that Kody found. Whether he was joking or not, Scott put it best by saying that this new spot was a gold mine. Sketchy banks and shitty ground made this spot awesome, so awesome that we're going to go back. Kody got a quick photo and off we went to the next spot...the night was not done!

Final spot, 10:30pm, middle of a busy road, basically it was perfection. Josh messed around at super-sketchy high speeds(sooo dangerous) until we got a good photo. A good way to end the night, I say. Everyone got photos tonight too which was a plus. Just as we were packing up, a cop rolled up and told us to leave. Too bad he didn't know we were done, fool. Check the flicks below.


The usual suspects.


Scott, back 180.


Scott in the bonezone.


Kody, ollie into the grit bank.


Josh making curb-cut fantasies come true
with this beefy ollie.
