Idyllic Winter Session Number One
Waking early on a Saturday morning can sometimes be the best thing in the world. When you’re woken repeatedly by a mewling kitten several hours in a row it can be difficult to claw the day back, so to speak. Dave G and Corey were keen to roll somewhere… anywhere. We started at Davisville ledges, which were completely snowed in. Dave remembered that the gas station forecourt around the corner on Mt Pleasant had some ledges too, but they had been sandblasted and would need some quality time with a rub brick before being skateable again.
We decided to take a chance on the Hoof- what’s the harm in trying?
Oh good grief, its completely clear!
Saturday morning at the Hoof, June 27.
For my recent 30th birthday my wonderful wife bought me a Nikon D40 digital SLR. I’ve been waiting for a saturday morning Hoof session since I got it, as Aaron Wheat’s photos showed it to be a very photogenic park indeed- and I was excited to try my hand at skate photography while I’m injured.
The session began as it normally does in the small bowl, warming up with grinds. Here’s a photo of Dave Ghent getting very excited, having learnt front torqueslides. Real men grab it.
Riley from Brantford travelled up for the session and landed this sweet mizou.
Early Morning at the Hoof.
We woke up early enough to skate the bowl alone. Here are the results.
Good morning to you too, Mr.Chow
