went out yesterday with my good friend and photog-man miles carlton. We found a dry spot behind the dollarama after 2 hours of fruitless searching. We decided it was the time to try out his new flash with my wicked stash.. Look on for the photos friends…

Noseblunt pop in. What a gem of a spot!

Ok let’s get serious. I want you to picture what I went through in the first 5 minutes of showing up at SPOT. …

I’m just wanting to ollie the pyramid to warm up and I’m up there with about 10 people on my side and about 15 waiting at the other side of the park to hit the pyramid. oh ya, before i went about 3 different dude tre bomb the pyramid and one guy fs flipped it. all steezy and bang on. so ya…ollie. haha, it took a while to get my legs, once I did, I had a blast. everyone is good and has there own thing going on. so it’s just sick. I’m in qualifiers tomorrow (friday) at 5:00, so check the podcast and lurk forever. rad. here’s some pictures of the trip so far. Oh and I just wanna say that my wife (jenna) is the raddest wife and friend in the world, she just hangs there the whole day and makes me feel secure. haha, but seriously..

Fox news is bush league

the bold...market crash. haha but seriously..

we take an hour bus ride and then walk for ten minutes to get here. But we made it. SPOT.

post caught bs shifty flip.

practising my slouch. cool photo by Jenna

They have cherry coke at subway in the states! My friend gave me the official subway cherry cola pose.

Jenna was also so hyped on the vinegar and oil combo they use here in the states. what are we doing guys? get on the cherry cola vinegar and oil program dammit!

I’m tired, sore and so hyped for tomorrow. Maybe I’ll backflip like sheckler. that’ll definitely put me in the highlights. later. more tomorrow for day 2 you bums.
