My New Home

 These are the homies
 Dave Ayres doin 360 Flips every try in the mini ramp
 Jay Chesterman - Pop Shuv down the Bell 12
 This is the worst skatepark ever made (Although the mini is there)
Here is Dave doin a large ollie over Ian
 Dave also has a lot of pop in his Back 180s

I know I haven't updated this in a while, but the internet at my place is weird when it comes to uploading pics onto this. Anyways, the deal is that since I'm living in London, I have had some time to shoot some pics, as well as have a blast skating. 

College is going well, although it seems that I already know the majority of the work that has been handed out. 

I recently had a dumbass injury where I bruised my heel while being "somewhat" intoxicated at a friends house. I'm not going to say how it happened since it was rather stupid. You will have to ask my neighbours. Anyways, long story short, I have a very seriously bruised heel, and I'll be off my board for a minimum a week. Which isn't too bad, but it could have been avoided.

Anyways, hopefuly I'll be able to update this with new pics as often as possible. Stop by from time to time.

sorry about that

yeah, for a little while I didn't know my Google account to sign in to this thing, so I haven't been able to update for a loooooong time. Okay, here is the summary of my ware-abouts.

I was skating with the homies all summer, and working 55 hours a week infront of a computer screen for Apple. I have since quit that job and gone to college. I'm not living in London, and taking the photography course at Fanshawe College. It's awesome, I have great roommates that are definitely chill. My classes right now aren't too hard, but I'm sure that will become very different with time. 

Where I'm living, there is a bunch of skaters that are super cool. I'm with a tight krew of skate homies. Jay, AJ, and others. Vic Park every other day is awesome. I'll see if I can get my footy from Jay to post on here soon. I haven't really had time to search the city for any skate spots, but the guys that basically live here wanna show me around to see what could be thrown down. 

My actual roommates, Sam, Andrea, Isabelle, and Jeron are a great bunch of people with very different personalities (especially when they are drunk) but it makes it for a great environment to live in.

I have been shooting a fair amount of pics recently, and I will try to post them as often as possible. I haven't shot anything yet here in London, but I have big plans very soon.

Sorry again for the length without an update...I'll try my best to get about 3 or 4 posts a week.

Temporarily Back..

I have the internet back! Well, this is due to the skateshop has an internet connection that can be stolen from one of the stores. Anyways, there hasn't been much going on lately, but the other night we went to the states and hit up the Sunday Ledge spot. Here are some photos from the night.

No update for a bit

I won't be able to do any photo updates for a little while due to something that is somewhat beyond my control. Normally I do all my work on my laptop through wireless internet that I was stealing from my neighbour. As of the past week or so, I haven't been able to get a connection, so I haven't been able to upload any photos. I have the photos on my external hard drive, but my external is linked to my laptop, which is a Mac, and not my PC in my basement, which is, well, not a Mac. So transferring it, would mean re-formatting the external hard drive, in-turn wiping everything out. I don't want that. So in hopes that my next door neighbour will soon turn on his internet, or do something that will allow me to get a connection again, then I'm kinda stuck to my PC for internet, which sucks.

In some recent good news, I have found a new home in London. The place is really nice, and it is right across the street from my college, so it will make for a nice, easy commute back and forth to school with a ton of camera gear. Once I get settled in, and I figure everything out that needs to be done, I'm hoping I can have a few people stay some nights where I will have time off on the next day. This way we can go shred up Western, or Vic Park if someone so chooses to do so.

I know London is a party city, but luckily, since I'm taking the photography course, I feel I will want to stay concentrated more on my studies then a beer bottle. But then of course, there will be those times where the beer bottle will be a great thing to have.

Anyways, I'll wrap this up for now. Let's hope I get my wireless back soon!

Which one, which one

Recently, a few of the guys got together and had a nice generator session at some simple set. Laid down some bondo to fix the crack right before the set, then while it settled we got warmed up, and set up the lights. Started skating, almost got kicked out, but Trevor and I are very sneaky when it comes to getting the boot. Anyways, I got the tricks I wanted to land somewhat quickly, so I decided to shoot some pics. There were a bunch of photos taken, and I was easily able to choose which ones I would post. (not on here though) Just these 2 shots of Trevor Nedea doin a switch kickflip down the set. I shot it in 2 different ways, a long exposure to get the ghost trails, and the stock frozen shot. I am not too sure which one to choose, so I will just show both of them,

You can decide...

Go Skate Day

Yup, it's coming up! I am very excited for this year to see what gnarly tricks will be thrown down. I will be photographing the event that is hosted by AG. Unfortunately, since I have a full time job, I will be working that day. I will be off at 4:30, so this way by the time I get to the spot, everyone should be warmed up, and ready to shred hard. This way I can get right to shooting pics. I hope everyone can make it out this year. Also I hope the weather co-operates since we have been getting nothing but rain and thunderstorms the past 2 weeks. Let's just hope that everything will go over without a hitch....

so sick of the skatepark

I am really getting sick of skating the park. I always wanna go street skating, but the kids always prefer to go to the park.  can understand because all the spots in Niagara Falls suck, and any spots that are decent are filled with tourists at this time, so they are unskatable. The park is a good refuge for times where you can't think of any spots to skate. The thing is, this is why they created bondo, bolt cutters, and sawz-alls. TO FIX SPOTS that aren't skatable. This was the last photo I took at the skatepark. Hopefully it will stay that way for the rest of the summer.
