Day on the town...

This shot was influenced by a fallen friend Mike Day. Cory was trying the back smith, and I couldn't help but remember the photo of Mike doing his back smith on the same ledge. I Tried to re-create the shot. I hope everyone is feeling it. Roll in Peace Mike Day. You will always be missed


Cory wanted to learn a new trick. Fakie Cab Back Lips though? C'mon! It shouldn't take 3 tries to learn something new...


Cory wanted to check things out


Cory took a couple slams. After about an hour of boiling heat and rough concrete, he said he had enough.


This is one frame from one of Cory's multiple close calls...

Help Andrew Norton!

Another Day

Cory called me up, saying he had a few ideas for spots around town. It was actually a great skate day! We didn't get kicked out once! My batteries were dead, but didn't die, and I was able to get a few shots in at each spot! Dylan joined us from comic relief, and Simon was there to get it all on film. It was one of those days that you hope for, but never expect to get.


Cory ollieing up to BS Flip on a steep-ass bank

Cory ollied this fence a few times with the damn car in the way!

Back to PM

Cory wanted to go back to the PM handrail for some unfinished business. Unfortunately, it still remains unfinished business. Cory was simply having a bad day and couldn't pull some of his warm-ups. After messing up his finger pretty bad, he decided to call it quits for the day. He did, however, land a front board... Here's the shot.



This was a second shot. This was more experimental. No flashes involved, just natural light and shadows. I was feeling it, so you can enjoy it.

Insert Title Here...

I didn't know what to call this one. Either way, it was my first day back to skating from my trip to Africa. (Will post those photos another time) It was also my first time in a month shooting some skate photos. Yes, these shots are from the park, but it was a weekday, and school was still in, so the spots we wanted to go to would have been busts within 5 minutes. None the less, it felt nice to lug my gear around with the lovely weather we have been experiencing once again in Canada.


Simon, with what we decided to cal an ALly-oop Back Smith (Please correct me if we are wrong)

Dylan pulled this Fakie Bigspin Heelflip so perfectly, that I would make butter seem like sand-paper.

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.
