August 12, 2008 // In Celebration

First things first. I want to shout out to two special people who have birthdays today, Kim and Bob. Congratulations on getting a little bit older guys. Also don't forget to check out Bob's facebook group, Bob Laurin Photography and Design.

Next order of business. Our buddy Sam took this sequence of Ryan DeCenzo at the Brantford Globe Demo. Make sure you check out Sam's Blog.

July 30, 2008 // Random Footage

Today out of boredom I decided that it was time for an update to the site. With a huge lack of filming lately this made it hard. What I ultimately decided to do was go back through some of the older footage that I have stock piled and pull some random clips for your enjoyment.

With that said you'll be watching clips from the last few skate missions that we've had (mostly bails), some lines from Pioneer Pools, Waffle Gap tricks, a night at this 4 stair to gap that is huge and turned out to be a bit of a bust, some old Amp Jam footage that I dont think have ever really been seen on video, and also probably the last good trick that I've ever gotten on film before got lazy and shitty at skateboarding (its on jumbo rail). All said and done, I hope that you enjoy it.

July 22, 2008 // "Its Raining Lines"

The other day I managed to film these lines, of Cody before it down poured on the entire plaza. Also just to prove that I haven't fully retired from the game, here is a little proof that I still hop on a board every once in a while. Thanks to Sam for shooting the sequence.

July 20, 2008 // Supreme Update

In some great turn of event I'm updating more than once this week (or this month if that is more suiting). The other day I borrowed Chris Phillips' handy cam and shot a few fun things from the plaza (Large File, Give Time To Load). Hopefully you have as much fun watching it as I had filming and editing it. Oh and our friend Kim started skating the other day.

Check for another update in a day or two. I have more stuff up my sleeve.

July 17, 2008 // Monthly Update?

Ok, so I've said it once, I've said it a million times... I'm not good at keeping constant updates. But after getting a reality check about the website and how much i slack I've got something up my sleave for everyone to watch and enjoy.

A few weeks back we filmed some lines at Pinoeer Pools here in Brantford. Cody Roberts landed a pretty dope line, but I'm a screw up and dont know how to focus right so it came out like this. Regardless its a dope line. Oh and also Cody Roberts is better than you, if you haven't already heard. Also, in the next few weeks he's going to have a check up in the first issue of the new 519skate online magazine, so keep checking for that!

June 20, 2008 // Go Skateboarding

Go Skateboarding Day is tomorrow. Get hyped and get down the to Brantford plaza for the Best Trick contest. Don't forget, meet at city hall at 12 noon and we're skating through downtown to the plaza (don't be disrespectful and this should all go smoothly and to plan).

June 16, 2008 // 519 Online

Arthur Sousa has just released his newest creation for 519skate.ca. Its a new local online magazine which should be dope as hell once he has enough content. Head over there and check it out, sign up for his message boards, check out the videos and shoot him an email if you're interested in helping out in anyway.

June 10, 2008 // Double Trouble

Today is a double update. My friend Kate is studying International Business in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Shits tight down there. She sent me some clips of her with her game face on. So here that is. (Some how the audio was compromised in the second clip of this, deal with it) Expect more.

Also Steve Laughlin has recently come out from his year long slumber and decided to grace us with skateboarding trickery. Also featured in this video are Keith Moffat and Dalton Baker. Enjoy.

June 9, 2008 // Slacker

I think at this point we all know that im a slacker. But here is a quick update to bring everyone up to speed.

I've been waiting 2 weeks for a camera light to come in. Finally got it today. Expect throw-away updates as soon as we can get out to film and it doesn't start raining.

Go Skatebording day is fastly approaching, so get hyped! Remember 12 noon skate from City Hall to the plaza. Then a Best Trick down the 7 stair, rail, and hubbas. Going to cost a couple bucks to enter so bring you cash flow.

Dan Phillips is back in town and working at being the worlds best insomniac. Dude hasn't slept in 4 straight days.

We're also in the works of Skate For Darcy day. Which will be the weekend of this death date(the weekend after Go Skateboarding Day). Working on some kind of contest perhaps for that aswell. But if not than we'll be pumpin' some of Darcy's favorite beats and having a great day of skating. Come out and support! I heard a rumour that there might be some of those LiveStrong bracelets with Darcy's initials on them. Come support!

May 22, 2008 // Plaza Days

I personally think that two post in one week would be pretty decent, but two in two days? Purely insane. But as promised here is yet another update. Enjoy.

May 21, 2008 // Waterloo Throw-away

Friday night we took a trip to see our photographer friend Will in the K-Dubs. After driving more than skating, getting kicked out of the same spot twice, have a mouse invade Will's camera bag and having to make our own spots out of old refrigerators, this is what i have to show you.

I'm also still to lazy to put all the old videos up in the "motion" page. You'll get it sooner or later.

Oh and expect another footy update soon.
