Missed Connections

Upon coming home from San Francisco (photos soon, I need to get them developed and scanned) I got a call from Andrew, who told me that Potter and Jeff had come to Toronto for a few days. Excited as ever to shoot with them, I met up downtown that evening. Nothing especially exciting happened that day, and we all agreed to meet up early the next day and shoot some more. Immediately following that, I get a call from Isaac telling me to meet him and some other Kitchener dudes about, so I do for the rest of the evening. They had in tow, two yanks with planks, a spanking duo named Justin and Ben, from Detroit (if you're reading this, let me know). You can find some photos from their journey up here on Will's blog. All around, they were a great couple dudes who will hopefully come around in the near future.

Anyway, next morning, we meet up and start getting busy downtown. Everyone seems to have ideas of what they want to get for the day, so we get busy.

After day two finished with a sudden outburst of torrential rain, we headed back to Andrew's place to rest for the night and our planned final day of skating.

The next morning we wake up, go downtown and then take the train to Oshawa to skate the newly erected Courtis Park, aka, Robbie Pointek park. It's right down the street from Randy's house and in his little time in Oshawa he's gotten pretty good at ripping the shit out of it.

Randy looks like he's going to shit on a dick - Lein to tail in the deep end of the penis bowl.


















After we were done with the park (and the residents of Oshawa) we hopped on a bus to catch the final Go Train home, only to find out that it went by before we could get there. Incredibly hyped, we head back to Randy's house with plans to wake up early and catch the train the next day.

Ever shinned yourself on coping? It sucks. Kyle knows.


















The crew, hyped for one more day in the 'shwa.












As luck would have it, none of us woke up early enough and Jeff and Potter ended up missing their bus home, again. I haven't seen them since and can only assume that they have been decapitated on a Greyhound somewhere along the line. Hopefully their footage makes it home, at least.
