Worst Case Scenario

Disclaimer: everyday is a day to go snowboarding and does not require any type of official designation.

Am I hating on World Snowboarding Day? No, not at all. But as stated above snowboarding shouldn't and isn't relegated to one day. Its something most of us try and do every chance we get and most have ditched work, school, people or whatever to go riding. There's just something about snowboarding. Best case scenario, the press and promo around World Snowboarding day reaches someone that never even thought about going snowboarding and they become as infected as you and I. Worst case scenario, it gives you an excuse to ditch work, school, people or whatever to get on snow.

Our friends at Horseshoe were holding some festivities so the choice of where to go was pretty easy. And since it was world snowboarding day and not world stand in tents day, everyone ended up riding, so half- hearted apologies to anyone who dropped by the empty tent. All photos by Connor Dudgeon.

Grudge Match

This past weekend Neil W, put on the annual Smith Grudge Match at Snow Valley. Officially, we were there with Sessions. Unofficially, we were there for the spring snow and fun sodas. Jennings and the park crew did a total rebuild. If you haven't been to Snow Valley in a few years, I'd suggest you check it out, things have changed. The Grudge Match is a head to head format, with all the Simple kids, Trevor Jennings, Andrew Skelhorn, Jamie Corneal, Kevin Scriver, Dani Brown, Smashley, Joey G, Travis Mooney, LS on the mic, guest judges Will J, Mike P, and Tim, insert your name here, out to enjoy the sunshine. Highlight might have been the post contest best trick sessions on the mini qp/box and the logjam. D Brown was learning handplants all day and she won girls. As for guys, someone won someone lost, it was either Craig or Greg,

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

The Start of Something Awesome

Welcome to the possibly somewhat every other daily ramblings of MHG Sales. Prepare to expect the unexpected and the expected as well! Really all you're gonna find here is the digital documentation of a stuck on rinse lifestyle. You'd probably expect more from the first of soon to be many blog entries but.....you should probably lower your expectations.
