_Literally Iceland

The weather has been quite harsh lately and tonight the temperature was hovering near -4. Wheat, Taylor and I were itching for a skate. Since the indoor parks here suck we packed up the generator and lights and headed to Iceland skate park which coincidentally was covered in ice. To our advantage the park lights were actually on and there was just enough exposed concrete to lace a few lines. Aside from skating we also filmed the whole session for a little holiday edit, hope you enjoy.

I’m off to Halifax tomorrow for vacation so there may be an edit from the east coast. Happy holidays everyone!

_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.

_Chow joins Dirty Thirty elite, life as previously known now over.

So many birthdays in December! Recently we’ve been swapping skate videos for photoshop hack jobs. Forgive us; it started snowing hard this week and we seem to have forgotten how to cope with it.

We’ve already had a couple of birthdays this month (Dub and Ghent). However neither of these have had quite as significant a buildup as the slow spiral of despair edging Kevin Chow ever closer to today… Kevin is 30.

As the clock ticked over into this morning Kevin learned that his new senior citizen status prevented him from being able to drive. So Chowsa took PUBLIC TRANSIT. That’s right, Kevin Chow used the subway here in Toronto and we have this shaky security camera image to prove it-

The other harbingers of the apocalypse are sure to be along soon. Happy birthday, buddy! And welcome to the club ; )
