I know I know, another skateloft edit. No, not just one, but two! What can I say, its hard to skate outside in this city during the winter months, so we work with what we have. And the loft is the spot! Enjoy while waiting for the warm spring weather.

Only in the last few months of this summer did I rediscover how much I enjoyed skating and filming in the real streets again, and although it was a little late in the year to start filming, I did anyway. I have been working on this mini skate flick for the last 3 or 4 months, and am pretty happy with how its coming together. Here are a couple of promo vids I cut up for it, so sit back and enjoy!

Buy tickets to a show. Bring a camera. Get loose with your friends. Get it all on film. Edit it to recall how much fun you had. Try it yourself!
Freakout and Bassnectar shows with the OATS crew.

The snow has begun to fall in our neck of the woods, and that means one of two things: either get out the snowboard and hit the streets, or head over to the loft and keep your skate game on point. Been doing alot of the latter recently, and managed to get a few edits together. Look out for more Skateloft minutes coming soon!

Super late getting this one up, and I’m sure anyone on here wanting skate footage won’t be hyped on it, but too bad. This show was sooo fun. It just so happened to fall on my birthday which was amazing, but it also had a pretty amazing line up Featuring ERIC PRYDZ, EXCISION, NERO, ARTY, SHOWTEK, BINGO PLAYERS AND MORE. The only thing that would have made it better is if it didn’t have to end. OATS at it again.

With all of the condo development taking place in the city it was only a matter of time before one of these crappy plastic ramp parks got dropped somewhere or other. This park has all the potential in the world with its under a bridge location providing the perfect refuge for rainy days and the oncoming winter, but having had some no-nothing about skateboarding city planner decide on its layout (half the park runs downhill into the other half of park = no flow what so ever) its pretty much a last resort. There are still a few fun things to session there, but over all it doesn’t do much to make me feel good. Made a montage there with the help of Tanner Grisbrook (providing the second half of the footage) which actually makes it look pretty fun. Like most things in life, it is whats you make it.

More park footage?!? Really getting sick of it but the parks in the city are just to smooth and full of homies not to shoot something in them. Anyway enjoy some newer edits from around Toronto’s parks. Having pushed around skate parks far too often recently, We need to get back to the fundementals of true skateboarding, the streets. Pushing through traffic and moving around the city the way people who have decided to walk could only dream of doing. Streets video in the works.

I’ve been really hyped about going to this event for a few weeks now, and boy was I not disappointed. The Vanderhoof bowl is absolutely amazing, and these guys shredded hard then I have ever seen it skated. Its really hard to get a sense of how gnarly this stuff is, but I suggest you go there for yourself and try to skate it to understand. Thanks to Vans, Volcom and Hammer skateshop for supporting the Toronto skateboard scene, as well as a big thank you to Nicky Young for shooting the fisheye clips. An incredible day was had by all. So hyped for next year.

This just makes me mad. While us Toronto folk are sweating are sacks off in 30+ degree weather under this shroud of pollution that surrounds the city, Our west coast companions in Nelson BC are getting to hike and ride Powder in the middle of June! In all seriousness I was amazed when my friend Adam Batthany sent me these clips on June 8th, of him hiking and riding a very late season snowfall at Whitewater Winter Resort just outside of Nelson. The camera got a little fogged up half way down from the extreme temp. differences, but overall this footage is pretty damn amazing. Sit back and watch this video all while keeping in mind it was filmed on June 7th. June Powder!

I rarely ever get the chance to be in front of the camera, so when me and Nathan went by 8th street last week I took full advantage of his willingness and got him to film a couple clips of me. This park is super fun for just cruising around, and even better in the middle of a weekday when you can charge with no one in your way. We both ended up getting a few clips here and there, and this is the result of that work. Enjoy!
