California dreaming on such a winter's day...

So yesterday, in Toronto, the weather has decided to show as many sides as possible. In less then 24hrs it was cloudy, sunny, windy, it rained on and off and snowed here and there.. Whatever, the bad weather got me thinking about sunnier days of the past. As you may or may not know I went to SF last year and made sure to do all things necessary to go back again this year.

The crew was large, across the boards were: Alex Varney, Alix Buck, Ben Buchenauer, Ben Locke, Beth Nenniger, Brandon Shepherd, Drew Williams, Duncan McNaughton, Eric Stuhlmacher, Ethan Kilgour, Ian Duke, Jacob Jurkiewicz, Matt Smith, Steph Bouchard and Mr. Tom Berry.

Spots. Spots! Spots!! Spots spots!!!! Everybody!

So I was in Sudbury last week and it was evident that you'll be able to shred the entire (current status: partially cleared) park soon, but more importantly you'll be able to hit the streets! For those of you who are naive and in disbelief to the fact that there is street skateboarding to be had in Sudbury then this post is for you (and of course to add to the believers'[sp?] library). Without further a-due here are some spots to skate rape:

Pearl St. Ledge.

LCBO Ledge. This has been waxed in the past so I really don't get why it's not now. Fuck, the sidewalk even got re-bricked like last year!

Fire Station Philly Step.

Arena Pop-out Ledge.

Tom Davies 3up 3down.

Llyod St. Philly Step. There is ancient wax markings visible on this one so go give it some TLC.

Notre Dame Bank to Ledge.

Paris St. Ledge.

Notre Dame Drop Down Ledges.This has been re-done and is now poured concrete. If you don't know what that means it means go skate it..

Notre Dame Kicker. This store has a nice brand new super mellow handy ramp with no guard railing. Not sure if that is to code but I'm sure we don't care.

So there you have it 10 spots that vary in skateability but are non-the-less spots. I will leave you with these things to consider, choose when you go to the spot wisely. For example that LCBO ledge would be good to go after 6 because that's when it closes, that drop down ledge is not something you hit during rush hour, and any spot that was in front of a residence you'd want to hit during weekday business hours. Just use common sense and respect the spot, accept getting the boot when it occurs, and leave with out saying anything because arguing is completely pointless when both parties have no understanding of one another. Oh and don't fucking litter, respect the environment because you're going to be part of it someday!

Top Promo

This is a little promo Top of the World threw together featuring the familiar face of Jon Piekarski and you may recognize a few others.

Top's been contributing a lot to Canadian skate culture for the past 17 years and has had consistently one of the best teams in the country so you will probably love this.

Highlights include (obviously) Jon's any-flip-into-manual section and some serious destruction from Mitch Barrette.
