Oh yeh, this just happened.
BAM. Watch for Toronto heads carelessly wandering into shot throughout the Game Theory.
Roving Reporter 2 – Erik Burrow
Our special friend from Northern Toronto (Aurora to be exact) is currently living the life of riley in one of the world’s best and most famous skate tourist destinations- Woodward East skatepark, PA.
From the looks of things, he’s been KILLING it- Mike Bennet seems to take all the photos coming out of Woodward East at the moment, so we’ll assume these are also his.
And finally my favourite shot- Total balls to the wall hardcore vert skating! Top Acid over the channel. You do good work, buddy.
Keep sending us shots, Erik! They’re badass.
Cj’s on a rainy day.
Posted by Dave Ghent in Session on July 28th, 2009
We recently went to CJ’s skatepark for a quick skate amidst all the rainy weather we have been having in Toronto lately. Some of you haven’t seen the new street course they have built, so you may want to check it out for that alone. To save you the suspense… it’s terrible. The only thing worth skating is the vert ramp. Nonetheless, it’s the best indoor park we have in Toronto. Here I have some footage of myself, Dan Lefebre, and Kevin Chow skating some of the park. We had fun blading, and thats all that matters. The track used is Video Tapez (ft. Del the Funky Homosapien) by AmpLive, appropriately from their Rainydayz Remixes album.

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

MNS and WNS! Double Picfest Whammy!
This week has flown past in a blur! Monday night a few of us gathered at the curved ledge by the ferryport for a bit of a skate at the freshly bricked and waxed ledge in a kiddies playground. Some burly hammers went down, with Dan grinding around the tight curved corner.
Taylor started everyone on skating the ledge the other way by jumping over the corner, sticking this awesome misfit:

I had the pleasure of visiting San Francisco this past week, and damn did I have a good time. Other than being a beautiful city, it is home to some legendary rollerblading street spots. I also got to catch up with AJ Delong, as he took the train down from Vancouver. We skated St.Mary’s Square, and 3rd and Army, which is more commonly known as the piers many of you have seen in skate videos. We met up with Kevin Yee, Jake Weins, and other awesome bladers at the piers and they showed us a great time. Although we didn’t film too much I managed to catch a bunch of clips on my iPhone. Check it out, I hope you like it.
