Pryme Time

Sometimes the memories that flood into your brain by simply looking at a photo can be amazing.

On this crisp fall day Mr. Pryma happened to be on his game and ready to battle with all sorts of rugged spots(which you'll be seeing in the future). After checking out spots all day, everyone decided that the Scarborough train track gap would be the last spot of the day. Thanks to good ol' daylight savings time kicking in the night before, the amount of sunlight we had was diminishing quickly. No sun? No problem. Mitch's random bursts of motivation proved once again that almost anything can happen....as long as he wants it to.

In his words, "Well I haven't done one of these in a while so I guess it's cool, right?"

Nollie backside flip.

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.

Home Land

First off, all apologies to everyone that may have been expecting constant updates from the road while the gang and I were in Florida. Believe me, I had every intention of doing so but eventually getting back to the hotel at 10pm and updating your blog becomes a little low on the priority list. Things like food, beer and sleep usually take over. That being the case, I'm cramming this post full of photo goodies and stories from the road. Enjoy!

Jamie got a little broke off at this spot...

Then Hugo barged Jamie's session.

"Oh maaaan I want an epic hero shot too!"

These jerks barged our session at the brick

quarter pipes. Look close!

Bow Digga, feeble stall.

Checkerboard spot in Atlanta.

Why is this here? Epic spots.

Hilliard, light test.

Jamie, kinky 5050 on a filmer board

downtown Miami.

Jamie, epic face.

Mikey, more epic spots.

Dan Ray, 5050.

Hugo, wallie over....

but not before he threw some gang signs.

Mitch "That's Gang Related" Pryma, 5050

past the curb.

A sad, sad man named Sonny

that we met at the spot. Hopefully

he's still alive right now.

Hugo on the hunt for some crocs while we

stopped in 'gator country.

Some cool trees by a spot we were skating.

Spring break? More like SPRING FRANK!

Yes that is Mitch Pryma.

Downtown Miami at night.

A young gunner(seriously) having some fun

on my board.

I shot this timelapse on our drive from

Windsor to Florida beginning with frigid snow

and ending up in the beautiful sunny weather.

Down to Business

Dan Ray's mom has been putting us up for the past couple days while we enjoy the splendors of clean beds, blankets, a pool and properly cooked meals. Fort Myers is so small and skateboarding is banned everywhere around the downtown area so we've quickly worn out our welcome around here. We managed to makenames for ourselves and got red flagged in a matter of days. Tomorrow we're going to try and take care of some last minute spots and then off we head to the land of paying for hotels, Miami. Take a peek at the photos below to see that we haven't been completely slacking.

We like to start our days right in the morning.

Jamie, feeble at a chuddy barrier spot.

Later on. Filming lines at the beach.

This spot had a shiny floor.

Dan Ray, ollie.

The next day. Trying to get out a little earlier

to be the sun and humidity.

Quick contemplates.

Mikey, back lip. Talk about

style.

He got so fired up he went on

and did this!

Backside angle on Mikey's

backside lipslide. Check that back

foot! Sheesh!

Pilgrimage

On Saturday I headed to Florida to skate and get some business done with the likes of Hill Sulpher, Jamie Jeffrey, Mikey Plantus, Chris Quick, Bow Digga, Dan Ray, Mitch Pryma, Glencoe Hogle and Hugo Balek. We kept ourselves busy on the road with energy drinks and beef jerky that gave us food poisoning and immediately started cutting our pants into shorts as soon as we hit Fort Myers. The journey was a long one but we made it. Here's to the next two weeks of sun and shredding!

Mikey, packing up the truck in Windsor.

This guy!

So long, snow.

Seeing a little less now.

Seeing little to none.

Stopping for a quick stretch.

Who's driving next? Yeah right...

Passed through Cincinatti. There is potential

you might see some photos from there in the

future...

Another rest stop this time with wild cats.

Mandatory.

In awe and amazement at the menu of

Waffle House.

Joann showing us some love in Kentucky.

Thanks woman!

Back on the road...

Another rest stop. Is there a better feeling

than pissing on the door of the bathroom?

Sketchy, thick night fog.

7am, another rest stop. We found out really

quick that their "Free Juice" was not so free...

or existent.

Florida hype!

More of this.

SUNSHINE!

Testing the weather...it's good! We aren't

home free without a little...

Food poisoning and puke. Sketchy

gas station beef jerky will do it

to you.

NOW we're home free!
