Actually, I had a dream.
My great Grandmother (RIP) was security at the new skatepark. She was claiming that there wouldn’t be security at the park the night after we spoke with her, and that the construction guys were leaving the site to go and work on the other new park.
I wish that was a real life scenario…
The Plan B demo was at Tswassen. Looks like a fun little park. The whole team minus Duffy and Danny Way were there. The demo was kind of crazy, but not like the intro of Virtual Reality crazy. More like “What the fuck is going on here” type of crazy. The guy to girl ratio was about even. If you’ve been to a demo, you know that’s bizarre. The ladies (average age : 13 – much to the delight of McCoubrey) were there to see non other than Mr. Hollywood himself, Sheckybunny. It sounded like a fucking New Kids on the Block concert (this is an assumption- I’m not a NKOTB fan). Shit was weird.
Kev was loving this shit. The only guy in sight.
There were about 20 t-shirts like this, and an equal number of signs. Craze.
If you went to the Saskatoon Plan B demo, you know how fucking good and consistent P-Rod is. Switch varial heel.
Considering there was a twelve year old hanging off his dick every time he wasn’t rolling, Sheckler did some tricks. Fakie flip.
More P-Rod destruction. Switch tre.
I had some pics of J-Rog and Sacha Daley, but they sucked, so I didn’t bother posting them. Wenning did some shit but isn’t a demo star. Dude keeps it real. PJ was actually there, but posted up in the Van after trying ten tricks or so. Oh- also Gallant was ripping, and wearing DC’s. For me to say Gallant was ripping is hard, as I’m not the biggest fan… Descenzo was there too. Kids pretty good.
I was going to post a pic of myself and someone from Regina on here, but I’m pretty sure his parole officer wouldn’t be stoked on that too much, so you’ll have to use your imagination. Thanks to Rory and Moses for flying me out there. Much appreciated. Word to Kev for hooking me up with a couch.
This one’s for you C-Mac:
Woah – the Maiden show was so good! Pics in the next few days… if I can locate Fernandez..
I received a little treat in the mail yesterday: a dope print of a classic 80′s skate pic of Hosoi. Grant Brittain had these printed up(and signed, with the proceeds going to those affected by the SoCal fires. I was lucky enough to get #2 of 100. You can still buy one online…
Indy Stage 10′s have been released with SOLID baseplates… Halle-fucking-leua…
I was going through some old photos in the office today- and I’m considering a random photo section on here- is anyone else into it?
VX Clip of the Day #2
Regina’s greatest celebrity getting in touch with his roots. Holla!Regina Labour Day Long Weekend facts:
The Riders will lose the football game. The fireworks will be dope. It is the last weekend of the drive-in. McClelland is fishing. Fernandez will be self-promoting something. I’ll be tresspassing with Janz. Geezy will be putting in some serious time in the bedroom. Mario will be doing triple kickflips.
THERE WILL BE A DEMO AT THE OUTDOOR PARK THIS THURSDAY. Here is the poster.
ANOTHER Liam sighting today. This time he decided to straight up diss us, and walked by the store without a bro down. We were all choked. Harsh, dude. Honorable mention sighting: EJ. Homey is back in the game. Watch yer backs.
VX Clip of the Day #1
Though Travis isn’t black, and he isn’t sporting a plaid shirt, this is the best Ray Barbee imprerssion we’ve seen in a while.
Summer time rolls tonight my friends…
We had a Liam sighting in the store today. It was a rare treat.
The ramps are back in the park, but it won’t be open until someone resurfaces the whole lot. Any takers? E-mail us…
New Tiki t-shirt coming soon. All you old dudes are going to love it.
Holy shit. It’s been a busy summer, my friends.
The Lords of Honktown art show has come to a close. For those individuals lucky enough to have placed a high bid on your board, congrats, and thank you. Collectively over $2000 was raised from the show, with all money going toward a monument for Edward Lugt (R.I.P.) at the new skatepark that will be in our fair city sometime soon. Again, thank you.
Our Shoe Assessment has been updated. Check out what we’ve got. It’s all hot.
We also have a sale on now until the end of the month. Be sure to get some good deals. Info to your right.
Wascana rail R.I.P? Operatives have been at work trying to insure that it remains alive, whether in it’s original locale, or at a new one destined to be somewhere in the Queen City.
Congratulations, C-Mac. Breaking the family mold.
I went skateboarding yesterday. Brooks and Danny found a vibrator wrapped in a pink towel on their couch. It was also the last day that you could have skated the indoor park for about one month.
Hit the streets, kid.
Two weeks since a post? Holy shit, I’ve really been busy….
Before even being able to properly say farewell, we’re actually saying welcome back to none other than Scotty G.
I’ll see what I can do for you guys next week. Maybe something exciting is actually going to happen. Likely not.
This is a photo of Dill in his role as the Bishop Don Magic Juan. They’re filming a fictional story based on the life of the famous pimp we all know and love. When you’re rolling a Monte Carlo, nobody can say no to you.
Memory Lane 11
The Battle of the Beards. Most people thought this contest was all about beard size. If it were, Trent’s grizzly tactics would have towel-whipped my scraggly ass in a Moose Jaw second. Fortunately for me the ground rules were for duration of duration of days without shaving. Say hello to Trent in only a few days.
Look how hard this guy is. He came into the shop and demanded that we sell this CD. We trembled, and caved. Get it now. Support a skateboarder.
The DC National Local Qualifier has come and gone. You can view the results here. Congrats to all of the entrants.
Remember the Piss Party updates promised? Thursday some actually got arrested for pissing in our very alley! Wow! Dude was middle aged and didn’t even get to zip up the goods before they hauled him away! Astonishing!
A special thank you to the organizers of the fireworks last night. They obviously don’t have young kids who stayed up WAY past their bedtime just to watch the damn show. Get a fucking watch next time.
Life lesson #1: You gotta sell a lot of Heelies to break $100k.
Quotes of the Week
“Probably some Scottish honkies.” – C-Mac
“How come we haven’t got busy yet?” – Dill to Noel
You’ll likely want to check out the DC skateboard contest at the indoor this weekend. It should be exciting.
Here’s another DC plug:
Every time we get a prank phone call, it’s this guy. I also fall for it just about every time. I’m gonna start with the pranks to PA. I hope guys sell a shitload of dunks.
Next time we’re in Whitehorse with Rory, we can throw bowling balls off the Miles Canyon bridge. We’ll bring our old pal J. Nevada, too. Nobody even knows what the hell I’m talking about by this point.
There are some good Heelys quotes coming iin the next few days. Really.
