X-Ray Records closing…
If you’ve lived in Regina at any point in your life and you’re a music lover, there’s a pretty good chance that you’ve picked up a CD or some vinyl from Dave at X-Ray records (formerly Records on Wheels).
Dave is going to be closing up shop for a well deserved break. His final day will be on Boxing Day, so if you want to get some solid music backed by solid advice from the living musical encyclopedia known as Dave Kuzenko, you had better get your ass down here (or you can go buy some shit from some Juggalo at HMV).
Thanks for everything over the years Dave!
Moonlight Madness!
Big sale on Thursday. Let Grandma know ’cause she loves the pre-x-mas deals!
RIP the Tiki Message Boards
Although some of the most classic Mario quotes made me reconsider deleting the message board files from the server, I needed to free up some cyberspace.
The Tiki Message Boards – RIP
An honorable mention to Justin Nicurity for reading Mario’s posts in a Shakespearean accent. Good times… good times.
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
a disgrace to skateboarders
