So I’ve been on vacation for the last 3 weeks or so out here in my home town Halifax. I have taken a slight break from my blades due to the heat and the lack of people to skate with, but despite that I was lucky to get a session in with my old friend Mike Laphen whos been skating since close to 97. These days he trains for navy special ops (for real) but still fits in sessions when he can. He’s one of the very few skaters of the once populated east coast skate scene who actually still puts in time on his skates. 

Helmets here are mandatory hence us wearing them and Mike actually received a 135 dollar ticket moments before I  arrived at the park with my bucket and an old snowboard hemet for him (comical looking).  Tomorrow I’m off to the airport to pick up Taylor who is visiting for the week and then we drive to montreal for the Classic and eventually back to Toronto. So good times all around on my end and I hope the same for you.
