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, super sketchy front board.


It's been a long day.

All Work, No Play

Yesterday it snowed and every skateboarder's heart plummeted to an all time low, all the memories of the brutal winter had come back all too fast. On the other hand, today WAS a new day so the sun decided to come out and warm the city up. A bunch of us met up at the park and decided to head out to do some spot checking. Spot A was a no go. The place needed a little fixer-upper and the owner was not feeling it so we decided to move on. While we drove on Scott scoped a spot with his oh-so-sharp eyes and he got down to business in no time. Unfortunately, it was a church and a guy there wasn't too happy with us shredding for Jesus so we snapped a quick flick and went to meet up with Josh, Rich and Jordan at the parkade. Josh got a quick line an once again, we got the boot. It felt like today was the day to hate skateboarders but the crew did what we do best: kept skating. On the road again, we went to check a new spot where Scott got down to biz(again). Things didn't work out as planned and Scooter broke a board trying a trick. Gary, being the good ol' friend he is, lent him his board and unfortunately, it took the same road and got broke. Everyone decided that the night had come to a close and it was getting chilly. Peep the flicks!

Tools of the trade


Scooter spot


Next spot was pretty good


Scott, warm up frontside 180.


Technical difficulties.


By the way, the play comes later.

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.
