Shootin' The Shit

Last week I got to shoot a photo with Ben Stewart (tag along with Owen and snake a photo). This was an awesome experience and a ton of fun. It was a good afternoon of skating, starting at the millennium skatepark (no not the rad one in Calgary) and then heading to this little kinked gem hiding somewhere in Sherwood park. Overall good time and fun day, thanks to Ben for letting me shoot this and thanks to Owen for all his help on "how to not be a complete goof."

A Day In The Life

I was super pumped to find this part on youtube. This is from the very first video I ever bought. I went to Surf 66(West Island local shop) and tried buying Baker 2G, but was turned away because of the language or some bullshit. Instead I picked up issue 45 of 411 VM and probably watched it close to 200 times in the span of a month. I watched 3 segments on this video constantly, even though it was a pain in the ass to fast forward and rewind through the commercials. The parts were the Calgary Millennium skatepark, which I have been most fortunate enough to skate before it gets bulldozed, Chandler skatepark in Arizona which I loved because they have Good Riddance - Start at Zero for the music and finally A Day In The Life with Mike V. To this day I have not found a more influential skate part. I don't know if it was because it was my first video I owned, or just because I love Mike's style so damn much, in any case here it is folks!
