Re-Introducing Mr. Jordan Moss

Why the re-intro? Well, things have been happening with Jordan, from a trip to Barcelona this past winter and of course a stint with the Minor Media lads to the Berrics. And it's official Osiris's on his feets and Ashbury's on his face.

Hot Mini Bike Action

If you ditched something to get out today you know. If you didn't it was just a little better than you probably imagined it would be...sorry.

Hi Fibre Email Cleanse

Since I've been gone for almost two weeks with little to no email access the ol' inbox is a little bunged up, so expect a flurry of posts once the cyber fibre kicks in...

First up a couple of shots from Switch's Jordan Moss with some Osiris love

GSD

It just so happens that the guys at Switch decided to host a BBQ at the Pickering skatepark on Sunday, June 21st which oddly enough happened to be Go Skateboarding Day as well. Millions of hot dogs bbq'd by Beaver, first hot day of summer, and I do mean hot, skating duh and free stuff. A couple of photos below and of course you can see the rest here

These peeps were there before we even put up banners and lasted till the very end.





In the midst of it all I popped down to Polson pier to check out a mellow mini ramp contest that the TLG crew was puttin on. And to have a drink or two on the pat yo.

2 things at once

Switch Go Skateboarding Day 905

A few years back, lets just say the mid-90's for arguments sake, I remember working at a now defunct shop in Pickering and having numerous conversations about the new park that was supposed to be built behind the Pickering Rec Complex. Sure there's a skate park in every town these days but this was long before that and this was one of the few outdoor parks even proposed. A lot of people contributed, like local legend Donnie Cameron. So it was more than disappointing to learn the park had been "condensed" from the initial drawings with most obtacles being downsized. Maybe its time to get the ball rolling with a new park in Pickering thats more up to date. I'll leave that with you, but remember nothing gets the point across more than hundreds of people skating the park, enjoying free food and random high fives. Join us for the Switch Go Skateboarding Day at the Pickering Park. More details

California Long Weekend

Oddly enough I ran into Corneal and Smashley the other night at the new Switch (which opens Tuesday May 12th) for a couple of fun sodas. Coincidently, the new Calfornia episode from the 6 months 2 live crew went up today. Jennings does good indy's!

Mid Morning Coffee , Sentimental Ramblings and Switch at Lakeridge

The following is another update from our tour of local under rated Ontario resorts. No super uber pros, no pyrotechnics, no bibs. Just mini biking, friends, shaky filming and a way for you to pass away the day at work or school.

Spring is awesome! Well it was last week anyhow, when we showed up to Lakeridge with next years boards, bindings and the Switch Skate and Snow family. First, a bit of history for the youth of today or some sentimental ramblings about Lakeridge depending on your perspective. Skip to the next paragraph to avoid memory lane.

Sentimental Ramblings/Lakeridge History Start

It'll be twenty years ago next season that Lakeridge started operating. These were times when most resorts made you take a test to prove you could turn before letting you on the hill. Other resorts in Ontario didn't even allow snowboarding yet, and worse still, some resorts had allowed snowboarding and then banned it due to skier-boarder collisions (or conflicts). Lakeridge had one of the only two pipes in Ontario (Talisman being the other) and for their time were super progressive. As a result every snowboarder in Ontario would show up for contests and pipe laps. The Ontario scene was so small that everyone pretty much knew everyone else and event days were a pressure cooker of future pro shreds and industry heads with the likes of Kevin Young, Kale Stephens, Dennis Bannock, Derek Kettela, Brad Hainschwaing, Matt Houghton, Mikey Scott, Wes Loates, Anthony Vitale, Brian Langhorst and more that I've forgotten over the years. Times have obviously changed for the better with all hills letting you get your shred on and most having some sort of a park. Lakeridge is no different, featuring one top to bottom park, a mini-bike park and a full size pipe in the classic locations.

Sentimental Ramblings/Lakeridge History End

The park was starting to finally thaw after some sub arctic temperatures and a good crew came out to do laps and hang out. Since this isn't a sponsor roll call, I'll just mention that Dani Brown, Matt Bujok, Andrew Rusk, Justin Jopling, Clancy, Bradley Hesson, Beaver and little...I mean all growed up Dan Stubbs, were present. Multiple laps and multiple smiles were had until the lifts closed. The only disappointment according to Matt Bojuk? The kitchen closed prior to feeding the poutine dragon!!!

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:
