Workin Dubs

Well, I was thinking of holding this photo, but then I realized that I am a photographer. What kind of magazine would run a photo with a caption that reads "Steve Pritula - Ollie / Photo: Pritula"? I didn't actually shoot the picture. My good friend Dave Hnatiuk shot it for me after I set everything up for it. This spot is pretty big, but the run way is perfect. Now, the landing is another story. If you can't already tell from the shot, the landing is rough as fuck. There was also a lovely crack which I had to continually land on. Every time I would commit to it, I would land, and just be tossed like a rag doll from going full tilt. This is one spot I don't really want to go back to, unless I am photographing it.

Back Home

I am now back home from London. The trip was a blast despite the rain and humidity keeping things a bit wet. The trip was well worth it with some gnarly tricks going down, and gnarlier slams being captured. My hands and back have now been shredded to bits. (check the facebook shot for that one!) Other then that, everything went perfectly.


AJ broke his board doing the most insane trick off the Bandshell I have ever seen. He ended up getting it with my board. You are going to have to wait for Jordan's video "Kbye" to come out to scope the footy.


Thanks to Jordan for filming my body get used and abused.

Foolin Around

Who says playgrounds are for little kids? Right beside the Niagara Skatepark is a small splash pad filled with pole jams, and little things here and there to skate. This one is of PJ doing a stock Pole Jam on one of the many obstacles to skate. By the way, That little circular frog thing, is only about 5 feet high. Crouching is a must when going through it, unless you want to get knocked out by a steel frog.

Consistently Inconsistent

A few days ago, Trevor, Dennis, and myself went to the ledge spot to get a couple tricks. Trev had a few things in mind, and had Dennis with us to film. Trev did his usual warm-ups, and got right to business. He just didn't plan on business being this tough. He was going for the bigspin out, but for some reason, his body and board wouldn't listen. These 4 shots were back to back to back to back. Let's just say Trev was getting some SERIOUS filler footy!

ONE HAPPY CAMPER!

New Gap In Town Con't.

I've been holding onto this shot for a bit, but it never got ran, so I am able to put it up on here. Trevor had to go back 4 times to get this switch ollie properly. Each time we went, he would land it and slip out each time, and eventually would get kicked out. Finally the last time we went, he got one that was DAMN proper. You will see the clip when the new AGK video comes out. To keep updated with what AGK is doing, click HERE
