Yet another post about Michael Jackson

Yeah right....

Anyhow, got this email from Matt Bujok and Bradley Hesson today, lets just call it mind blowing enthusiasm.

Hey Rob,
Here is an update:

The other day I got a text from Bradley Hesson asking me if I wanted to come over and jib. You see Bradley and his woodworking skilled brother built a summer snowboarding setup in their small backyard. I agreed and drove over. Upon walking into the backyard, I saw this well built tower drop in and down rail. Everything was covered in turf as well as plenty of water and soap. It takes alot of getting used to dropping in on turf with edging and what not, but once you figure that out it's a blast! Bradley showed me some things he learned and let me say... look out for him this coming season! Anyways after his cd player started remixing his already remixed cds we decided to call it a session and take the go-cart for a couple laps.
Overall, FUN times!

Places we'll be this week, maybe, more than likely

Niagara Falls Honeymoon

There's always a kind of honeymooner vibe that seems to hang in the air when anyone mentions Niagara Falls. Images of heart shaped beds, foot deep red shag, knowing winks and hotel honeymoon packages might come to mind. All within a permanent midway featuring everything from carnival style arcades to wax museums to corn dogs. So when Alcatraz riders Matt Bujok (Capita, Union) and Bradley Hesson (Union, Signal) sent emails with photos from a recent trip to Niagara, I realized that theres more to this border town then the midway feel of the past and the casino of today.



Matt Bujok BS board over the stinger.

Emails

Yesterday was the day. Actually, yesterday and today are the days. Ummm on second thought tomorrow is probably going to be the day as well. It started snowing in Southern Ontario Saturday night and the result was a mellow 20 cm. But it then continued to snow all day Sunday and Monday with a little more accumulation. Push's Matt Houghton told me Blue Mtn was incredible. I got a text early Sunday morning from Alcatraz's Jay King claiming legitimate pow turns at Dagmar and Mark Watson from Kahuna showed up at my house today spraying about how good Horseshoe was (which was later confirmed by Chris Savage at Corbetts). Watson then proceed to borrow a 162 Black Death and poach the remaing pow at Lakeridge. All and all, everyone seemed to get some. This is what I did:



Oh and upload this email I was sent about Dustin Craven

Missing teeth, hot babes, big methods, and extra spending money.




The kid's living the dream...

Snowboard Realms Ontario 2009

So Monday night at 2:30 am, actually I guess it would be more like Tuesday morning at 2:30 am, an entourage of good times arrived at my front door, marketing guy and Ontarian at heart, Mikey Scott showed up with the one and only TJ Schneider and C3 Photographer Joel Fraser. AFter a late start Tuesday morning, we headed out and visited some shops and were off to Lakeridge with the Switch crew for some hot Snowboard Realms action. The park was fun and you'll see some good trains in the Ontario realms with the likes of Matt Bujok, Dani Brown, Justin Jopling and Jamie Corneal. Oh and the 30 or so other guys, including The Boarding Huts Adrian Denzil to Switch's Scott Bingley to the infamous Beaver.

Thats it for now, but tonight were at Dagmar with the Alcatraz Crew Skate and Snow, so come out, and have some fun. This will likely be the last update till Friday but if you can't make it to Dagmar you'll definitely want to be at Horseshoe Thursday during the day to be part of the never ending train!!!

And for your viewing enjoyment:
