_Savage and Kirill in viral grass-skiing music video

Toronto veteran Ken Galloway (fresh and clean on his new Xsjado stormtroopers) is responsible for this masterpiece of urban summer skiing, with Kirill Korzinski as the stunt double (I’m guessing Suzy didn’t do her own stunts) and Chris Savage as the stunt co-ordinator! Awesome job all three gents, share the video around and watch Ken’s smile grow progressively bigger.

_TNS Waterdown, 11/08/2011

The TNS series lumbers ever onward with a return trip to Waterdown skatepark. Its been a while since we’ve been there in any great number, so it was good to have a ton of us rolling deep!

  

Knight showed up, Stephane and AJ were boosting on the powerblades and Jonny, Darren and Mike were hammering some grinds around the deep overhang bowled corner.

 

 
I am consistently surprised by how tech Blair is at miniramp, and I love watching him skate. Ghent’s attire was on point (as was his blading, as always)- and in all a good time was had, despite the comically token aggression against us by the locals. Sore losers!  Waterdown looks like its kind of far, but the QEW makes it pretty easy to get to and its always worth it… make a trip : )
 
All pics by Ben Sach, thanks dude! The rest of the pics are here.
 
*UPDATE*
 
Here’s a short video that Dave Ghent put up on Flickr of me doing a line in the dark, filmed by AJ!

_TNS @ Vanderhoof 07.21.11

Some of us braved one of the hottest days of the year (38 degrees celsius, around 45 with the humidex) and skated one of the best bowls in Toronto. Check the edit AJ made. Also, be sure to come by for the Shop-Task grand opening this coming weekend.

_Mini Mondays_ 18/07

Good grief- its 30 degrees, most of us bladed this weekend and we need a break. This was my mini monday! See you next week.
