A bunch of us took a road trip to MTL last weekend. We didn’t film much but here’s what we got. Enjoy.

Merry Christmas to everyone in TORONTO!

It’s your favorite Finnish brothers, Teppo and Matti! We’ve decided to send you an early Christmas present to cheer up your Toronto Christmas. This is a day of us skating our local skatepark in Seinajoki (aka Wallriver, Finland).

Have a Merry Christmas!

November Weekend

So, this will be our last edit for a bit. We’ve decided to stop putting out so many of them and save the footage. There will still be the usual picture posts, articles, and random clips here and there. Expect a new edit sometime early this winter. Anyways, this was going to be one of the last nice weekends to street skate so we made the most of it. Here’s what we put together. Enjoy.

Leftovers Edit

Dan and I were sitting around tonight and thought we’d put together an edit of leftovers, falls, and previously uncaptured clips. After a couple of beers and some zoodle pie this is what we came up with. Hope you enjoy.

Roll Toronto – In High Definition

Dan borrowed a Panasonic P2 camera from work for the weekend, so on Sunday we took a trip West of the city to hit up a few spots.

Roadtrip to Le Taz (Fast Motion/Lylac session) by Taylor

tritchie — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 14:49:48 +0000

This Saturday, Dave, Guy, and myself headed to Montreal with Stephane and his girlfriend Marie for the Fast Motion/Lylac session at Le Taz skatepark. We met up in the morning at the Vanderhoof bowl for a quick skate before we hit the road.

Parkour style!

Guy is staying off his skates for a while due to a shoulder injury but came along to document the trip. It was a tight squeeze in the back seat but there were multiple pit stops to stretch (ie. knock strangers over while they were peeing) and before we knew it we were in Montreal. The session itself was a lot of fun. Plenty of kids showed up to support the rollerblade only session that takes place the first Saturday of every month. The difference this month was the cash prizes being offered for best and weirdest trick. Dan Miller dominated these categories with a huge royale to drop and a sidewalk with helmet wraparound to solo roll down the kinked rail. I won a prize for best line and Jason won with a four-way switchup across and down the rail.

Six hours later.

SO JEALOUS.

The Winners!

We had a great time in Montreal. Thanks to Stephane and Marie for driving and an extra thanks to Marie for letting us crash at her parents place! Don’t forget about the MTL Classic coming up in South Parc on 29th of August.
