Fort Drerie

Warm temperatures, and cloudy skies provided a perfect day for shredding some park. It started off with Dylan, Rivard, Simon, and myself just cruising around and warming up. Later, we met this guy, and he was shreddin the bowl. He did a boneless first try, and it was too stylish not to photograph. I walked up and asked him if he would want to do it again for a photo, and without hesitation he was down. The session would continue on afterwards with a few bangers going down by everybody. No other photos since I was skating as well. But you do get to enjoy the photo of Ward's boneless


This was too easy for him!

"...So I forgot to tell you about how I lost my 75 cents!"

Today was one of the first days out in a little while from the previous warm up. The weather went for a shit again for a little over a week, and we had to wait for it to melt. Cory, Dylan and myself got together and started off at the park. Warmed up our re-rusted legs and shook off the full-time job blues. After the park, we grabbed some grub and hit the streets. We went to a gap to electrical box spot and Cory wanted to hit it, but traffic would keep interfering, so the plan was ditched. I ended up deciding to ollie a gap I've been wanting to do for a while, and ended up getting a photo out of it. After rolling away 3 times, I wanted to try a long lens shot, but ended up slamming pretty hard and deciding my efforts were no longer needed. Here's some shots from today.


Cory Steezin' out a front shuv about 5 times in a row. I personally love watching him do these.


Dylan wanted to learn a new trick. He learned a switch Bigspin Flip. The picture is his first time landing it. Fuck flatland, go straight for the launch.


This is the gap I've been eyeing for a year or so now. Today I finally ollied it. I couldn't be happier! Thanks to Dylan for shooting the photo, and to Cory for moving the flashes out of the road each time a car would drive by.
