Shredz “Hey That’s Rad”

If your in Sylvan for the weekend, checking out all the babes at the water slides, make sure you go down the street and stop by Shredz Skate Shop. Ran and operated by local Chris Sereda, this is the one shop in town that knows how to do it right. They first opened up shop in Drumheller, which was followed by the Sylvan shop. A year and a half ago they opened up a shop in Cochrane, run by OG Sylvan loc Sam Stuart. Since then they have been pushing their local scenes, doing everything they can to keep skateboarding alive and strong. Two months ago, Chris moved his Sylvan location down the block to a better building, and by the looks of it, they did a great job renovating. So go in, say hi to Chris, and support your local shop.
Always A First

There’s always a first for everything… this would be my first post on the olive site. Fortunately, after reluctantly failing many times trying to complete a single post, I successfully intergigafied a blog update. The victory was sweet, like when Mario finally gets to the last castle where Princess Peach is awaiting and you no longer have to battle any more Bowsers (original nintendo), but short lived as I was flustered and my eyes itched from looking at the computer screen for 2 hours.
