C-Traynz

We have a new spot in Niagara Falls. It is actually quite fun if you are down to skate a flat bar. It's under a roof, and fairly unexposed to weather. So far bust factor is quite low, but since it is at a new hotel, this will soon turn into a 1st try Friday deal. Anyways, Dyllan, Chris, Cory, and myself went to the spot. Cory skated, Dyllan filmed, Chris watched, and I took the snaps. It was quite a fun night. Here is a shot of Cory doin a front board at the pretty much virgin spot.

Sneak Preview

The past few days I have been going to the shop to photograph their new clothing line, Antigravity Apparel. So far there are hoodies, t-shirts, and long sleeves. Check their website for more information by clicking HERE

Here is just a quick sample of what you will see from Antigravity Apparel.

Hybernation

The end of the season is upon us here in Canada. When sun and warm weather turns into grey skies, rain (then eventually snow) and 5PM sunsets. The time when skateboarders bunker down in the security of underground parking lots to perfect their flatland. If you are lucky enough to find an underground where you don't get kicked out, you might just be able to enjoy a flat bar. In the meantime, let's just remember the good times from summer. A ledge was built, skated, skated some more, and then abandoned. We will return to it when the snow has left us for more hospitable conditions. Here is Trev pullin a Fakie Back Tail, FS 270 out. That's a mouth full!

Keep an Eye Open

Unfortunately, these kinds of things happen to good people, which sucks. Anyways. Owen Woytowich, professional photographer, recently had all of his camera gear stolen. I want everyone to please click the link below, and see what was stolen. If you have any info, please let me know so I can forward it to Owen.

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.

London Bound

I am off to London for a few days. Gunna be fun to see all the guys again! I might be able to update this things once, but no promises. Peace out NF! M.Y.A.B.
