Darren Potts in Australia

A few months ago a very good friend of mine made the move from frigid Calgary, to the other side of the globe. I grew up skating with Darren Potts here in Toronto, but I’m happy to see that he’s still ripping all the way in Australia. Here is an edit he recently made with various locals, as well as fellow Canadian Richie Eisler.

Enjoy.

Just who the hell does K God think he is?

Part jaded hockey veteran, part sarcastic downbeat funnyman, all up in your face;  MOBB founding father Kyle is one of the most refreshing and talented faces on the GTA team roster, although he’d almost certainly be the last person to agree with that statement.  Mr Godden has always been his own worst critic, but his self-criticism is completely unfounded; as he shows with his latest edit he is more than capable of raising his game when the mood takes him.  Early morning drinking, smoking and chilling chased down with total negative annihilation… Toronto rollerblading simply wouldn’t be half as abrasive and gangster without him around to call it as he sees it.

That most travelled of roads.

Iceland Ho! The unseasonably warm weather brought on by our parents using too much hairspray as kids has left us dealing with the bizarre and alien concept of rollerblading in November. What gives? Last winter we were making snow angels and heading to Blue Mountain, but as I type this the temperature is rising to a high for today of 10 degrees and we’ve yet to spend any significant time below zero. The downward spiral of the planet seems to suit us just fine at the moment; rollerblading outdoors continues in 2009, and long may it do so.

Wednesday saw a pretty large turnout for what might have been one of the last Iceland skates of the year. All of these photos were taken by Huy Le.

Jonny and Blair skated the hard side of the rough ledge, Jonny back royaling through the corner.

For a change, I did a topsoul.

Lee powered through a back farv to fakie.

That’s it for this post; In the next week or so we have a new video edit from Dan and Taylor, Corey might have some clips together to post, Kevin is working on a review of his shiny new skates and Dave’s hair will get even longer. Stay tuned! Also, check out our friend Robert Guerrero in action… Dude is Top 5 best.
