Montreal Classic, June 2010

Canada’s biggest and most prestigious contest returned for another year, but bringing the event forward to June produced a smaller attendance- although the quality of skating was unaffected.
The amateur contest continued to be nothing short of a Montreal showcase demo with the locals taking full advantage of hours of practise to comfortably own the top spots… Respect to Max Free, Kevin Lapierre and Dan Millar who stood out for me. (Cont’d. after video)

The Pro contest -despite a smaller turnout than previous years- was as tense as always. Jerry Butler pushing through exhaustion to throw down some of the biggest stunts capable in such a challenging park; Adrien Anne was style personified with relaxed butter-smooth switchups and a flawless zero fish down the big grindbox.
Franco Cammayo is a force of nature! Having taken a brutal fall halfway through the final (so bad it warranted the music being turned off and silence falling on the park) he pulled himself back up and carried on as if he didn’t just dent the floor with his back. Roman Abrate was smooth and showed off natural spins to fakie switch spins into grinds… mental. Chris Haffey did Haffey, turned up and killed it with his first trick- fullcab true soul to fullcab out. Everything he did was flawless. It was great to see him landing tricks first time that last year took him five or six attempts and shows just how much at the top of his game he continues to be… he deserved the win.

Finally; A massive thank you and congratulations to Stephane Julien and Marie-France Denoncourt, who were married on the day of the Classic but still were kind enough to let us stay at their house!

Montreal Classic rocked.

Advice from your friends

Greetings again dear reader!

This month has been a little more relaxed after the initial wave of summer excitement has passed and the Brampton contest has been safely put to bed for another year. Dan Lefebre’s camerawork blows my mind with each new edit; every month he manages to outdo himself and I for one am grateful for his efforts. Cheers Dan, you do good work.

This month Hans and Dan got to test out their new k2 skates and we were blessed with visits from our Montreal brothers in arms Stephane Julien and Mathieu Ledoux who took some time out from being full-time professional ninjas to shred the Hoof. Here’s a toast to more summer blading and the impending arrival of the MONTREAL CLASSIC later this month! Big things my friends.

-Guy
