I recently had the opportunity to shoot two of the three stops of the Vans Sk8 Hi best trick competition at a few Toronto’s local skateparks. $500 Cash and prizes, 3 best trick contests at each location, and the kids were hungry for some money judging by how hard they went. Featuring skating by Jon Gonsalves, Kirk Roach, Griffin Kirby, Joel Scullard, Jon Cos, Zack Ferguson,Ben Paterson, Lee Yankou, Kong, Nolan Waller and a bunch of other heads. Additional filming by Luke Fenton and Joel Dolman. Hope we see you all again next year!
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.
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.
Another winter has come and gone and the skate season is back in full effect. Been spending quite a bit of time down at the Ashbridges Bay plaze, and these 2 videos are the result of a few hours of skating – featuring Andre Besner, Nicky Young, Aiden Bryant, Shawn Whitten, Sean St. Jaques, Joel Scullard and Justin David. Grapes, Crackers, Gorgeous cheese.
A couple edits I submitted for the Hammer/ Tangent/ Skateloft contest. Its cool watching the more recent stuff again, but looking back on some of the old clips of Max and Blake killing it hypes me up more than anything else to skate, because it reminds me of those old days when we spent every single day in the streets. Classic. Enjoy.
Some random destruction by the homies on a couple of Toronto spots, as well as some b-shots and lost clips from a loft edit I made recently. Enjoy, then go outside.
In the second installment of the double vision project, we offer you a days worth of footage from Ashbridges Bay skate plaza, featuring Pat Dysart, Joel Scullard, Nathan Dell-Vandenberg, Nicky Young, and myself., as well as some street footage I had lying around, featuring Will Bartlett, Jing Lee, Nolan Waller, Andrew Davidson and Nick Pierre. “Don’t be fooled by the calendar. There are only as many days in the year as you make use of. One man gets only a week’s value out of a year while another man gets a full year’s value out of a week. “ – Charles Richards
