Not Too Exciting..

Well, summer has almost come to an end, and it hasn't been too exciting. I didn't get as many photo's as I was hoping to this summer, but I am going to try to jam pack everything before winter has it's turn. I should have a few more posts this summer but for now, this is all your going to get. Cheers.

RED STAR DEMO!

Today the Red Star team had a Demo at The Ward Skatepark. It's been a while since the ward has brought any pro's, but today we has skaters such as Paul Trep, Paul Machnau, Chad Dixon, and Grant Paterson who is now pro. These photo's pretty much sum up a dope day.

First!

Made my way back to that "almost perfect" 6 stair today with the first person to come skate this. Not only the stairs, but the rail to! Congrats on being the first Dalton. After a long half hour wait for Roach in this 35 degree weather, we finally got down to buisness.

Skate For Free!

As you locals may or may not know, the city decided they were going to remove Guelph's outdoor park due to area complaints. As a result of this, the city also thought it would be a good idea, to help out the Ward Skatepark by letting people skate for free, and the city would pay for it! Thanks a lot Guelph!

I'll Be Back...

Today I went out and found this gnarly private school that had some pretty decent spots. Many pads, ledges, drops, and what I consider an "almost perfect" 6 stair. Unfortunatly my partner for the day did't feel the same way, and wasn't up for the challenge. I will definatly be back with somebody who is.

The "almost perfect" six stair, good run up, not to high, the length gives it a challenge, the landing is just kind of narrow.


Justin decided to ollie over this rock for the fun of it, knowing the was pure dirt on the other side, it didn't work out for him and he ended up eating it. Dislike the motion blur from the waste down but whatever.


There's also a pretty big 12 stair rail that is doable, but a piece of would would have to be put down the set before it to get some speed.

FINALLY!

FINALLY! After about 5 long months of waiting, today I came up with the last few dollars that I needed to buy a flash. I decided to go with the SB-600, although it won't work wireless with my camera, it still gives me a little bit more power as I'm shooting. I'll worry about the commander after I play around with my new flash. Pictures to come soon enough!

Sickness

The last couple of weeks I have been off my board due to "mono". Since then I really haven't been able to get out much so today I decided i would head down to the ward to take some photo's.
