Posse Large

Judging by the harsh sun burns I've been getting every weekend it appears that mother nature and her sun are back in full force. That being said, the posses we've been rolling with have been pretty deep these days. Feels rad to get out when a gang of homies are there to let the good times roll.

Ahhh...skateboarders. Nothing like hanging out
in the scummiest parts of Windsor.

Mack, ollie over lipslide to 5-0. Homebwaye has been
hungry lately.

Essentials

BUSE!!! Frontside boardslide.

Dev'd Up

A big reason I like going to London is because there's this camera store called Stan C. Reade that develops 120 film in one day for super cheap. Whenever I've got a few rolls of film that I need developed I never hesitate to bring it there. What could be better than dropping off film in the morning, heading off to skate and picking up your slides at the end of the day? Nothing! Anyways, here's some film clips from the past week or so, enjoy!

Isaac, ollie down on to the skinny block.


Colton, front blunt.


Scott, noseblunt.


Isaac, kickflip. A damn shame this spot is gone
now, it was dope!


Colton, backside 180 nosegrind.


Mack-dawg, lipslide 270 shove out.


I threw in a couple sequences for turbo enjoyment, holla.

Ankle Destruction

It was just another day of skating with Lucas, Mack, Isaac, Joel and Graham. We went to check out this new stair spot that got the vote from everyone. It was pretty easy to skate so everyone got busy trying to get tricks. Unfortunately, Graham destroyed his ankle trying to get his. Get better buddy!

Next spot, Mack and Luc had some business they wanted to take care of at Seagrams so we headed out that way. In no time both dudes got their flicks and we were on our way to meet up with Scott, Josh and Grant. We tried to check a few spots but nothing was happening. Mack and Luc were still fiendin' to skate so we checked a few more spots and met up with some other dudes. It was getting late and chilly so we headed back downtown to check out some cemented up barriers. It was fun for the time being but the cops weren't feeling it. They even went as far to send a cop to kick us out with the name "S. Slaughter"...comforting. It was late and everyone decided to pack it in so we did just that. Pictures below, fool!

Isaac, kickflip.


Luc felt like hanging out in the shade, no biggie.


Lucas, front smith 180 out. Easy peasy for
this buddy.


Luc, Jesse and Mack.


Lucas, front tail.

Thursday night is party night.

Like usual, I was getting off work and the clouds were just clearing out of the sky. I headed on over to the park to meet up with none other than Scott, Mack and Luc. We went to check out this sketchy bank Scott had been eyeing for some time and snapped a quick flick. Right after, Taig met us at the spot and we decided that for any further skating to take place the bank would need a fixer-upper...moving on. For some reason, the chunk ledge seems to be all the rage lately. I have no idea why because it's exactly what it's named after, chunky as fuck. Regardless, Scott and Mack went to town with wax on that big boy and got it grinding and sliding smooth as butter. Everyone got some goods and were about to head on our way. Little did any of us know, the party was not happening at the spot, but rather across the street. You usually don't expect to be confronted by eight (drunk) university chicks, but we were. What was their mission, you may ask? Well, their good friend needed 'slut' points and in order to get them, she had to make out with random dudes. The rest is history...peep the flicks!

Scott, ollie in.


Mackdawg, lipslide pop-outs like woah!


The Dance Crew.


Scott Varney, coppin' tricks and
chicks.

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.

Mackenzie Campbell!

Mack has been featured on the blog quite often and for a good reason: he's killing it. Over the past year or so this young gun has done a lot of growing up and is on a path of destruction. He's slowly evolved from blonde streaks in his hair and a helmet on top at the skatepark to ripping it in the streets. I would say the whole migration from the skatepark to the streets has a lot to do with Mack's attitude and how he looks at skateboarding. His maturity surpasses his age by many years and is generally one of the first kids I call up to get a shred mission happening. Have no doubts, this kid will continue to progress and kill it and I won't ever hesitate when he calls shotgun.

No helmet, no streaks!


I had to put the stress of "last try" on Mack for
this one since we had to be somewhere but it was
indeed last try. Frontside 5050 backside 180 out.


Kickflip.


For some apparent reason everyone loves
these ledges. They are infact shit but Mack takes
care of business regardless. Backside 5-0 shove.


Backside 5-0


Front blunt over the rust bar...no wax necessary
for this young man.
