Its not often I meet a series of transitions big enough or scary enough to genuinely frighten me, but I think last night I did. I’ve been asked to skate at the Toronto Ski and Snowboard Show for the next four evenings on a series of ramps that honestly scare the bejeesus out of me. Wandering around with shoes on looking at the ramps, Dave Ellis and I freaked out about the horrific transitions, brutally steep quarterpipes and the 4ft wide, 12 ft high runway to the ’ski’ jump. I grabbed a couple of pictures on my cellphone from our rehearsal last night.

I mean, look at that, just look at it… what kind of madness is that? I’m due to somehow skate it for the next four days, so I’ll have plenty of opportunity to become blasé about what I consider the daftest, most dangerous set of ramps I’ve ever seen. Come by and say hi : )
