The weekends .
so its been a couple weeks or so since my last blog.
Last weekend we went to vermont. we were hosted by a few skate friends that were really fun to hang out with. really happy to meet some new skaters and we skated some fun freeride spots. in retrospect. the fact that vermont is only 2 hours away and all i can see is amazing mountain passes. this adds a whole new awesome to the summer. enjoy this video i put together that sums up our skating.
In the states they have some crazy energy drink options . my advice : just avoid them. some rockstar flavours come with options like "with a straw" or "double the caffeine " … impressive. also . although the Canadian dollar is so good right now i learned quickly in stores this doesn't matter, and nobody has debit. still… yep so if you HAD to spend some canadian it was worth 80cents to them . just a tip (lesson learned) , take out some american money from your bank before going from now on :)
But once again i thank the awesome people who helped us have a good time in their great country :)
This weekend was BABC or Boarders Against Breast Cancer . where hosted on the third floor of a beautiful venue right downtown toronto, you could find me and about 200 other people drinking lots of beer to support the cause. The night was electric. 25$ entry and cheap beer all night. The Raffles seemed endless, i actually think there may have been more prizes than people. The amount of support from all the companies was absolutely incredible.
I will post a link for the pictures or videos once they are put together :)
So Primo Andrea Mia and Me all went and Primo won… well everything. We were impressed he won two of the raffles and took home a whollleee bunchh of awesome stuff! yay primo , free food and cookies and a giant pink couch.
there are just to many stories to tell about this night that if you want to hear more you'll have to call me. so much fun .
Saturday - Went for breakfast with Dustin in Barrie. really nice to sit down with him and chat for a bit i miss him and his wife. they are such great people.
At night (830) it was earth hour. so we unplugged all the .. well actually we unplugged everything in primes apartment and lit candles and proceeded to play jenga . thats right we played a game made of wood over candles.
not all bad though it was fun and only a few ended up with wax on them . oh and the beer.
Also special thanks to primo for putting up with us for a couple nights i miss this dude and our crazy adventures so its always fun to get to hang out.
Sunday - Brunch - My dad came and met me in toronto for brunch WHAT AN AMAZING morning :) couldn't ask for better. sat in a restaurant Dad Mia and I. No one else in the place except the waitress and the cook .
So big thanks to Him for coming so far :)
The board swap / Slide competition. This…. it went well. i sold ALOT of boards and gear for kebbek , ambitious , myself, and friends in QC . It was amazing seeing all my ontario skate friends again and it was even more great that we got to have a slide competition together . But it was even more fun ACTUALLY skating with them ! and when we skate, we skate hard. The slide competition was a blast. you can see how all your friends have progressed. for some , the winter is a time to snowboard or take time off from skateboarding. but for a lot of my friends . almost every single one of them went to California, BC , or some other much warmer country to get in some riding while we were all here freezing our… well knees off due to how much snow we had!
So proud of everyones riding this weekend keep up the awesome.
Special Thanks to Mia for putting up with me for a few days :) you rock ! :D and thanks again to primo for putting us all up for the couple nights!
So check out the video links i post and i will have some pictures up soon too!
