To Guelph we go

With the outlook showing clear, bright but cold we set out early from Toronto for a day of excitement. Cambridge bowl has recently been completed so having googlemapped it, we wanted to check it out.

Review: Fun, but ultimately far too small to be much of a session. If the bowl had the same layout but was twice the size or depth, it’d be incredible! As it stands we tired of its tight transitions quickly and moved on to Kitchener. Taylor laced a mental trick I’m sure we’ll see at some point, Dan landed a topsoul to true topsoul, landing by rolling down a crazy bank and I did the same with a true top porn.

We hit a few other places including the legendary Guelph ledge, before ending up in Milton to wind down… and lots of our friends were there! The most rollerbladers in that park in a long time. A great day indeed, I hope you enjoy the photos, hover for picture details.

Vert is not dead.

I think we may be on the cusp of a vert revival in Toronto, despite the bad timing- I give it two weeks before its the weather is too nice to be skating indoors any longer! Tonight we met Ivan from Bulgaria, who almost but not quite convinced me to jump out of a plane for fun. I sense my heart going into conniptions at the very thought of it. NOW BACK TO VERT- Alex is learning inverts! And is super close to getting a palm on the coping, next session for sure. Stu was silky as always with zerospin switch mistrials and Brayden was a trooper, taking the time to find his vert legs and getting some decent height out of it. Thanks to Nate, CJ’s may be becoming bearable.
