Hans at Kirchberg skatepark mini rails

Hans in a week has filmed more skating than the whole of Toronto put together… but then again, what exactly are you gonna do 2000ft up a mountain? Hang out with the cows again? Yodel from the peaks? No, you’re going to line up two portarails and learn some new switchups.

Keep them coming dude.

Hans in Switzerland

Our European Correspondent Hans Hirsbrunner is visiting relatives in Switzerland for the summer. He just uploaded a mini-edit of him skating a small skatepark, which is available in HD:

Thanks for the edit Hans, its crazy to think that even in the middle of the Alps you can find a couple of practise rails strung together, although its funny that they’re surrounded by electric fences! We look forward to more edits soon, keep them coming.

Victoria Day Disarray.

What could be better than a long weekend to mark the beginning of what is looking to be a great summer in Toronto. All of the blokes, hardheads, and crackerjacks made it out to a rousing session at Ellesmere Park and Garrison Creek yesterday. If it is any indication of what is to come, how can we not be excited for this summer. We seem to slowly be taking over every park and spot we go to. Busted shins (Jay Smith), dirt covered tees (Jong), and the smell of rendered pigs aside, the skating went off like last nights fireworks. Full size pics at our Flickr link.

Jay ‘The Karate Kid’ Smith gets low on a backside unity.

Guy saw Star Trek before the session, and busted out this vulcanized 720. Come back to Earth buddy!
