This blog is a blog that allows myself to talk about anything really, I'm mostly going to talk about skateboarding and all the awesome things in life. Now this blog isnt meant to be all professional its just for me to talk about what i think is either interesting, cool, or just something awesome that has happened lately. Enjoy.
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.
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.
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.
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!
