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.

Kevin’s Blade Stash – Part 1.

So for those who don’t know, I had an unfortunate accident back in November,  tearing the ACL in my right knee to shreds, leaving me unable to blade until this coming September.  Balls.

In the mean time, I’ve been pulling out some old gems from the Dekalzshop days and started messing with different setups.

I’m using a pair of Original New Old Stock (NOS) black size 7 Albert Hooi UFS throne shells as the base, and building around it with various cuffs, liners, laces, soul kids and frames/wheels.

Here’s the list of goodies I have so far:

• NOS – Red 2 piece souls
• NOS – Abdiel Colberg souls (Grey rear, black front)
• NOS – Black 2 piece souls
• NOS – White Diamond Hooi 3 piece souls with white backslide
• NOS – Chrome Sagona 3 piece, front and back chrome, black backslide
• NOS – Black 3 piece (Thank you Tim Adams!)
• Extra White 3 piece heel plates
• Kizer Slimline Turquoise  Frames (Thank you Mark Korte and The Conference)
• Kizer Slimline White Frames
• Kizer Slimline team Frames
• White GC Featherlite 1 Frames
• Jug Precise Liners
• Sifika Carlos Pianowski 7 Liners

Here are just a few of the setups that I could think of…. post if you want to see something different.

What should I skate? Help me pick. I should have black cuffs and buckles really soon, if that helps you decide.

Chow’s Surprise Birthday Recap

I know you are a salesman Chow, but with all the wrenches you threw in your surprise birthday plans, you’d make one helluva mechanic. Many thanks to everyone who made it out, and especially Rebecca for organizing such a gangbuster of hootenanny. Sa da tay.

Sifted through a bunch of photos from the party, and I’m posting my favorites below. Check out the rolltoronto flickr for the rest of the night’s pics.
