Huy is a talented photographer, and has been around since rollerblading took off in Toronto. I look forward to seeing more of his work. He got a few good shots from the Box Sesh, check them out.

Thanks for everyone that came out, it was a great time. And thanks to our sponsors for hooking up prizes: Vibralux, Street Artist, Razors, and Ground Control. The session as so much fun, we hope to have another one soon.

SWS Toronto Edit

Dave Ghent — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 22:56:02 +0000

I randomly got an email a while back from my friend James Fisher asking “hey do you want some visitors?” Since I can’t blade, and can only live vicariously through others, I said sure, come on down.

James loaded his little VW Rabbit full, and showed up with Cody Boulay, Mikey Blair and Brian Weis.

The week consisted of:

-car crashes

-head wounds

-NHL 09 smack talk

-Mr. Noodles/E Z Mac

- AND this edit here:

Big thanks to Rebecca for being so understanding for having a bunch of strangers crash with us, and a shout out to the SWS crew.

Montreal Classic 2010 Results

Dave Ghent — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 00:20:35 +0000

Haffey came and destroyed it with first try 540 true porns and everything else huge you can imagine. Franco Camayo went big, ate shit, then came back to bust out again. And Roman laced a huge 540 ao soul on the wall ledge. A lower than normal turnout still produced a great pro finals. Great work Dan Laroche and Guillaume Roy.

1st Chris Haffey
2nd Roman Abrate
3rd Franco Camayo

Dave goes to Vancouver

I love exploring more parts of Canada. I went to the west coast last week to visit my good friend Aj Delong. Luckily Will Pursell got the week off, and Leon from Shop-Task decided to take work on the road and join in on some of our adventures. We took a lot of trips to the insane amount of parks that B.C has to offer. Kamloops was amazing, and the skate barn (seen in the photos) is a photographer’s dream. Big thanks to Will for taking some of the awesome shots in this set, and Aj as well for helping out.

All in all I just wanted to share some of my great times with good friends. Browse through the pictures, and look out for a killer edit from our journey to Kamloops that will appear on the Shop-Task Blog soon.

Brampton Comp 4 on May 16th

Dave Ghent — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 16:15:26 +0000

This year’s Brampton Comp was a bit hard to organize, because of upcoming construction to the surrounding sports park. Luckily, we settled on a date before the construction starts. It’s coming up pretty soon so make sure to book off Sunday May 16th. This year it will be a bit more exciting, because you’ll be able to earn points and status in the World Rolling Series standing.

Hope to see you all this year. For more information visit www.bramptoncomp.com

Job Post: Teach rollerblading at the Brampton Skatepark

Dave Ghent — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 14:11:44 +0000

So I recently got an email from Sean Mindle, the head instructor for inline at the Brampton Park. He’s looking for an instructor this summer to teach rollerblading on Saturday mornings. See his description:

It would only be one day a week, which is Saturday mornings from like 10am to 1pm. There is two age groups, first being ages 10-18 and second being 19+, so the individual needs to enjoy working with children and confident enough to teach adults (Potentially). Staff training begins at the end of April.

If this interests you then send me an email, and I can refer you to him. If I didn’t have a fulltime job I would definitely consider this – it would be a lot of fun. I have taught rollerblading before and it’s truly rewarding. It’s definitely not for the money, but if you enjoy inspiring a young blader then this is for you. But you still get paid to blade!

Send me an email to dave@bramptoncomp.com if you’re interested and I’ll be happy to refer you to Sean.

Also be sure to check out the Brampton Comp which will be happening sometime in June this year.
