Barn con't....

A Canadian winter is not only long and harsh, it comes with a side of creativity. Canadian skaters have to become "artists" and either find odd spots to skate, or simply make something out of nothing. Phil's barn is a castle of creativity. Wood, metal, screws, and a brain has created this place for Niagara skaters to continue on through out the winter and progress at their on will. Cory, Dyllan, Phil, myself, as well as a few others have been making visits to this barn over the winter and learning new tricks on the regular. This is a few from our recent trip.

Winter has arrived

Now that the snow and cold weather has arrived, many of us do the whole hibernation thing. Indoor skateparks, garages, even basements if we can. Luckily for us here in the Falls, a good friend, Phil has put together a small indoor skatepark (which is still under construction, but will be done soon). We were able to session it today and I decided to bring my gear to shoot some photos. It was something I needed since I haven't shot much in a little while. More photos will be posted later on the Barn's website, but this is one I decided to keep to show you a small preview of what's to come.
