A Lesson to Be Learned

So things are starting to slow down...

Yesterday I was roaming the internet and doing my regular - skate websites I enjoy following - following up. I got up to snuff with them but wasn't satisfied yet with my skate smutt.. So I got so ambitious as click yet another link off the side of the site I was on and found this..


(How could I resist right?)

So basically this is what all you razorfiends should be setting your standards to, exhibit A: Boulon, and not this guy..

Boulon kills it for many reasons.. For starters look at the dudes kit - some gnarly cross trainers, gray sweatpants (but not too baggy), obligatory courier satchel (great for keeping any extra swag in there [ex: a lacoste crew neck sweatshirt] and not giving you back sweat which could lead to backnie or, depending on the severity of the backnie, cracknie), a very fitted polo shirt w/ not one but two chains visible and a perfect set of grills and bad-ass attitude to complete this Euro-trash look.

Furthermore he allows those in which we shall not mention to skitch his rig - I'm sure he presented the idea to other extreme sport enthusiasts (perhaps even to a scooterer/scootist (sp?) BAH! the hilarity of seeing that), but they knew better... He rips the fucking legendary bowl of Marseille, he's got foot plants and airs to crotch smash on lock and despite the lack of airhorns he rips to we be steady mobbin.

Enough said. Happy Saturday guys, hope you can find your lines between the scootards at the park today.

I guess I've been lazy

This photo is pretty old and I would have e-mailed it to Potter by now but I'm not sure of his e-mail. I guess everyone else can see it too.

SONY VX2100 + MK1 INTERMEDIATE SET UP FOR SALE

Unfortunately I have to sell my camera because I need money for school in September. Today it has been sent out to have the heads professionally cleaned. After that it should be good as new. Not sure when I'm gonna get it back but I'm putting this up now in case the buyer needs time to get the money. When I get it back I'll be putting it up on ebay and some other sites, but ideally I'd rather sell it to someone locally. Here are some pics of everything to be sold:

Asking around $1,600 for everything. Price is negotiable. Might split stuff up... If interested you can email me at dan_belanger_7@hotmail.com.

Here's some footage of Chris Marleau at the park,

No idea who shot it so credit will have to wait

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!
