Trayning

Today was another one of those "perfect weather" kinda days. Went street skating with the guys. Cory Traynor got warmed up on this rail, then took some pretty gnarly slams one after the other. We will be back soon....

Let It Begin!

It's March! We have survived a horrendous winter! This one was particularly brutal with snowfall, after snowfall, after snowfall. Constantly being bombarded with the weather meant even indoor skating was difficult with cold temperatures as well as tough driving conditions to even get to an indoor spot. But, with Hell, comes a little Heaven. With yesterdays perfect, sunny, calm weather, as well as perfect 10 degree skating temperatures, it wasn't hard to see that everyone was itching to get the winter rust off their legs. The session consisted of Trevor Rivard, Cory Traynor, Dyllan Nykyforak, as well as myself. While driving to pick up the guys, almost every corner I drove past had kids with skateboards in hands. That put a big smile on my face. Once the guys were in the car, we took the 30 minute drive to the For Erie skatepark to get warmed up for the day. Once everyone was warmed up, I decided to pull out the camera gear and get the winter rust off them! Stayed at the Fort Erie park for a little bit, then decided to make our way back home to the Niagara Skate park. The session ended up going all day long with perfect weather all the way through. It was definitely one of those days that you didn't want to end. Here are some photos from the days session.


Trevor hittin the awkward bubble at the Fort Eric Park with a beasty Ollie


This hip is pretty hard to hit. Dyllan puts down a popped ollie with ease. (He also did it a few times since kids kept getting in the shot)


Dyllan hits the 50-50 with Leo in mind as he goes all the way up, across and down.


Trevor grinds through this crook to a clean roll away and a goofy stance. Ask Dyllan for the cell phone footage...


Unfortunately, Cory didn't land this 360 Flip, but he definitely came close. The bench was the session ender. Definitely super fun to get back into the swing of things.
