Thats some mighty fine a-picking!

Okay, so last night i went on a little adventure. To this place called Long and McQuade, now if you don't know what this place is, its a music store. Now i went there last night looking for a special something. Now this thing i've been talking about i have also talked to my parents about it for some time now, and they weren't really sure what to get me for my 18th birthday, which is January 14th. Now i asked them for a banjo, and yeah i totally got a fender banjo and man is it ever badass, best purchase i have ever done!

Now that im done talking about my banjo, i think its time for a little skateboarding. Love Skateboards is a skateboarding company started by some local guys in the neighbourhood, isaac and joel watamaniuk. If you don't know about the company, i highly suggest you find some things out and support the local companies. Now heres their website and be a gnargnar and check it out http://loveskateboards.ca/ , also heres some of their videos, enjoy.

Nice little clip


Yet another nice little clip


And last but not least, here is my beauty of a banjo.

I'm a Dork . . . .

Okay so this might be my last post till this weekend? why you ask because silly, Gran Turismo is coming out in about 2 hours and I'm going to be busy playing it. I know sounds kinda lame but whatever guys, this game is why i bought a ps3 and im not cool enough to play COD.

Im going to post three things though to maybe keep you guys a little occupied until i post something again. One a Gran Turismo commercial at least watch it, it's kinda funny, well i laugh haha. I'm going to post a website actually this one http://photoized.wordpress.com/ now this website is just my friends Jake Wagner, now he recently just started taking photos and is still getting better and improving every day. It hypes me to see someone getting interested and trying to learn something so im going to try to spread the word so there you go guys.

Last thing im going to post is Josh Hawkins, now this is from the video FUN! if you havent seen it i highly suggest you do, or at least the first three parts. Josh, Dallas, and Ben all rip in that video so just watch them haha. I love this guys style, its just kinda of a chillin style and fun to watch, and he manages to throw a couple hammers in there and blend it in nicely so over all a pretty good part. Anyways guys, i hope you enjoy the next couple days cause i will. Enjoy the videos and blog.

Nestea is delicious

I wasn't going to post anything today, but i have nothing better to do. Its raining outside right now and its sort of bumming me out, like it could at least snow. I never really understood why like 90% of people don't like snow? You live in Canada, live with it. It's not like its the death star or anything and it's going to blow up the planet! its just snow, it's fluffy rain drops.

Anyways to cooler news, Brandon Del Bianco, local skater, lives in Toronto and hes pretty good. He was in Minor Media aka the winners of the first Younited Nations and all that stuff. Getting to the point, I love skateboarding magazines i read them, im subscribed to Skateboarder and buy any magazine that will have a good interview or covering a tour i want to see. Now i check out the websites almost every day as well. Now when i saw that Brandon had a mag minute, i was hyped. It's nice to see a local getting out there, even though a lot of the footage was Spain and shit, whatever its still cool. Anyways found it on youtube, here you go guys.

New blog is now on . . . . ?

Okay so my last idea was to just talk about skateboarding blah blah blah, okay so im going to try something new, since i have my own computer now bohyeah! im going to actually post a new thing hopefully 3 times a week thats my goal, about pretty much anything that is really damn kickass. Yeah its mostly going to be about skateboarding still just because well thats just how i am, skateboarding is awesome sooo a lot of these things are going to be skateboarding so just live with it.

Okay so two things, today i was coming home from Ancaster and i was really damn tired and couldn't handle it. I was falling asleep and only like half way home. I thought i need a coffee and like right now! See a Mcdonalds, now ive never tired mcdonalds coffee before and had no idea what i was getting my self in for, i walk in ask for a large double double pull out a five and "oh dont worry about it, its free" WOW! made my day, free coffee! oh man Love You! In other news yes winter is coming, ice rink is set up at town square now and im not really hyped, but me and my friend jake got out the other day and still hit the streets, kinda cold though. But whatever you gotta do what you gotta do.

In more amazing news, i know im kinda late with this, but screw you im posting it anyways. Welcome to The Short Film by Gravis, Dylan Rieder, words cant even explain this man, this guy takes being gnarly to the next gnargnar! like this part right here leaves me speechless, i can probably tell you when i watch it i dont blink! this part alone made The Skateboard Mag cover i believe and two skateboarder cover (if i forgot any just comment and tell me), the 79th issue of the skateboard mag came with this dvd (which i wish i bought) but whatever. You have to watch this, Dylan Rieder you got my vote for SOTY!

Brent Atchley

I remember watching This is my Element and this man right here having my favorite part. Seriously you could not find anyone else who looks more comfortable riding tranny or anywhere. Brent is probably the most chillin guy on a skatebaord, and that is why this man gets his own post.

Cody Mcentire

Okay so there are a lot of skaters who still dont know who this guy, so I am here to post my first skater. I have to admit this one of my top favorite parts in the world, just because its that amazing! Cody is one of those skaters who looks like every time he skates he is having a blast, not to mention that he is hella bad ass! This whole movie is amazing so if you have the time to have Digital : Smoke and Mirrors. I highly suggest that you watch it. Now this is your chance to either agree with me that this part is actually good or you hate it. Comment and tell me.


Waterloo/Kitchener Skate Park . . .

Alright so there has been a lot of talking and such about new skate parks coming to Kitchener/Waterloo. The city has been talking a lot about this shit and have had many plannings and so on about this. There was two locations they have been talking about. One is at mount trash more and the other at the rec center. Now i only went to the Waterloo one cause well i live in Waterloo so that's really all i wanted. They brought New Line in, they made the Vancouver skate plaza and all that shit, sooooooo it was gonna be pretty intense. We talked about it and it sounded like it was going to be a for sure thing. OH YEAH they lied big time. About a month later we get this message saying blah blah blah we don't care about you so we decided to postpone it blah blah blah here is a temp park.

Now this temp park i have heard its going to be a movable concert park and it is going to be at the rec center still. Now i have heard that this is going to happen some time soon, but no promises cause the city keeps screwing us over clearly. Now i thought the trash more park was a go, like it might be but i have heard its definitely a no go as well. I think they are just going to postpone it once again, till im dead or something.

Clearly Kitchener thought the aud was definitely good enough, but clearly it blows. Sorry for who ever actually really enjoys the place. All that parks got is the humps, and i enjoy the rail not gonna lie. So in the end we got no new Kitchener park, and a temp concert park which might be okay, but the chances are slim. Hopefully we get a nice box, thats all i really want. If any of this news changes i will let you know, but for now this is all i know and i think the city is sticking to it. Lame.

A little something about me . . .

Alright so to begin with i'll tell you a little something about me. I'm from Kitchener Ontario, i have been skating for about five or six years, I basically find skating that one true thing where everytime i go and skate, I have a good time doing so. I respect it and try to have fun with it. Now with me living in Ontario weather is kinda gay, BUT! you really look forward to those nice days and use them well.

I will be probably talking about some of the stuff happening around here, and of course the stuff happening everywhere! and hopefully get the word out about all the sickass skaters out there that no ones even heard about. So if you have anything that you want to be mentioned out there just comment on something or just e mail me and ill post it and talk about it.

Basically i want people to post what they think because this is the point of the blog, it is supposed to share every ones opinion on whats happening. I'll be posting videos and pictures of what I'm talking about to help those people out there that have no idea what I'm actually talking about. Now hopefully people kinda pay attention to this blog cause I'll probably posting at least once a week hopefully more we will see. I will leave it at that for now and i will post my first real news sometime soon.
