Guess who’s back?

Dave Ellis, that’s who. Dave hasn’t put on a pair of skates since last november and within five minutes he was up in the rafters.

More DJs* shenanigans tonight- After an hour of just three rollerbladers on the vert, a skateboarder wheeled out a bucket and started prepping to wash down the vert ramp. I don’t think I’ve been to this park in the last two months without some kind of confrontation. What’s supposed to happen? Even with Nate working at the park, I feel we’re just being paid lipservice while the owners laugh about rollerblading into their sleeves. With plans for a ‘street’ comp in the works, are we supposed to throw our support behind a park whose owners refuse to listen to reason in any way? Such a shame, that vert ramp is breathtaking.

…In other news- has anyone else with Kizer Slimlines had a problem with the metal rocker washers? Mine (Kevin’s) have buckled after only two street skates and pushed the washer against the bearing shield. Anybody found a fix, other than hammering it flat again? I think the metal will be too weak. I really like the frames, but I can’t deal with destroying the rocker washers twice a week.

Well, that’s it for today. Tomorrow brings a Finnish box edit!

Every summer Erik dissappears for months at a time. Where does he go? Only the most awesome skate playground in the world, Camp Woodward East. Camp Woodward just gave Erik a full profile along with some awesome photos (some of which we showed you earlier this summer) but you can see the whole interview now right here. Erik is such a well-rounded skater which I really respect. Congratulations buddy! The interview is by the legendary Mike Bennett.

Aaaaaand here we go!

Its 1.30am; Dave, Collin, Steve and their ladies are in the Green Room waiting for Boyle to show up with a couple of friends. I’m about to hit the hay after a long day of moving gravel around a driveway in the digger below (long, fairly boring story I’m not going to share with you), skating with Justin and Corbin at the Richmond Green curved ledges (which are my new favourite spot in the world) then hanging with TR, Dave, Marcos and Rob in High Park, setting up the first spot for everyone tomorrow… TOO MUCH! Its a good thing I like busy days : )

See you in High Park! For those that still don’t know, drive south down the eastern edge of High park from Bloor, and its a right hand turn into Spring.

Hey everybody. Hans here. As you may already know, I’m in Switzerland right now and I’ve been here since the beginning of June. While here I’ve been basking in the European lifestyle basically. Going out, visiting places, a few festivals, some skating and all in all trying to enjoy my summer. So here are some pictures of me in Switzerland. I also put up two little edits. One was edited and one wasn’t (sorry). Well I have been skating alone mostly here. Its a ten minute bike ride to the skatepark which is in the town next to mine. I may film another little edit. It’s almost like im not alone. Well greetings from over here.

Peace

-Hans
