Tilt Shift
Some trippy videos using some tilt shift photography.
W2W 13-An in depth analysis
W2W 13 definitely did not disappoint. Instead of writing a detailed description on why the contest was amazing, i’m just gonna let the skating speak for itself and list the bangers that went down during best trick. If you weren’t there to witness the contest yourself, just use your imagination and pretend I did all these tricks, and everytime I use capitals just picture my voice yelling. GO!

Honorable mention goes out to Garrett McNevin with a backside disaster on the vert wall while almost hitting the lights on the ceiling with his helmet. It almost made me cry it was so beautiful.
I’m sure I may have missed a few tricks here and there, but that was probably the first time in my life I had a visual orgasm. To be blunt, in 25 minutes the park basically lost its virginity to the raping of the contest (especially the pyramid).
Thanks to everyone for coming out. That was definetley one of the most insane welcome to winters ive ever witnessed and the level of skating was top notch. Can’t wait for next year!!
Welcome to Winter footy!
Is now up on the Welcome to Winter site. Check it out!
So as you may have heard, Berra is out to save smaller skate shops and parks. Here’s what he said and I quote: “There is a war being waged on small business “. Wow, what a great dude, you can advertise your shop on the Berrics site. But what he fails to mention is the price tag, or that in Canada he has a exclusive deal with a certain mall store which means that your local shop can’t get any Berrics stuff. Watch the video on the Berrics or Youtube. Berra himself tries to convince you that he wants to help and again I quote: “Mall stores with deep pockets and empty history”. How much is that kind of hypocrisy worth your legitimacy? Well thats just sad you try and promote one thing and do the complete opposite. Berra you should be ashamed of yourself. The state of the skateboarding industry should not be used as leverage for monetary gain. You are a disgrace to skateboarding

HUF

We feel privileged to be a new dealer of HUF in Canada. If you don’t know who Keith Hufnagel is, you had better brush up on your skate history, because he’s one of skateboarding’s legends. His clothing line based out of SF is dope, and you can now get some limited pieces down at your favorite urethane proprietor, the Tiki Room.

Cruiser Boards
We’ve been getting some pretty sick cruiser boards in as of late. You know – there’s a big gift giving holiday coming up, and you know at least one of these would stoke you out… just sayin’.

W2W 13-Pre Game Predictions
W2W 13: Pre game Predictions
Mike Langen will fall asleep in the back room before his run. Possibly also sleep during his run.
Bryce will hardflip over the pyramid to flat on his 9 inch creature board first try, no warmup, and without stretching his legs beforehand. DAMN!
Out of towners will be welcome, but not really. Just don’t get in Dave Chapados’s way is all im saying.
Laker will join the contest 3 hours late, possibly still drunk from the night before.
“Holy Diver” by Dio will be on repeat the entire contest no questions asked.
Double trouble will be in full effect from Tyrrell, with no flip trick under two rotations. 2 trill!!
Here are my predictions for placing
1. Taylor Senft/Corey Lakeman (It’s a toss up!)
2. Tony Hawk/Dave Chapados
3. Tyrrell Legrand/Joey Brezinski/ They look the same!
On an unrelated note, for some odd reason lately when people have been coming into tiki shopping for wheels I’ve had about four kids call them “tires”. This actually could come in handy because we’re waxing every surface of the park the night before, so leave your wheels at home and bring your dunlop winter set. Or just stop calling wheels tires.
And now for the most important part about this post!
There’s a possibility that two CONTRACTED riders may be attending the contest. Charlie and Lee have been doing a ton of push ups and have been coaching eachother day in and day out, plotting for a hopeful victory in this years w2w. Will it happen? Only time will tell kids! W2W 13! Sunday November 22 at the Heritage Building!!!!!
W2W13 info in the next few days…

This dude found out and was hyped. Stay tuned kids…
