After a rainy Saturday in Toronto, mother nature was kind enough to give us another chance and brought us a beautiful sunny Sunday at the Ashbridges skate park. Tons of kids came back on Sunday, to either skate the contest or to watch the contest and support their friends competing. The event went really well. Great skating and good vibe. The Bait shop did a solid good job promoting the event and gathering the best Toronto skateboarders.

We had roughly 35 entries. After an existing qualifier, we did a final with the top 6 dudes. Three of those 6 skaters are best friends and they always skate together. So I guess it's not a surprise to see them all in the top three. It wasn't an easy decision because all 3 homies were killing it, they destroyed the park. Clean style, tech tricks and incredible consistency. Watch out for those kids people, these guys are coming after you and they are under 17 years old. OUCH!

The results are:

1st Ben Patterson

2nd Chad wilson

3rd Jon Cos

Video coming soon

Congratulation boys an see you soon in Montreal.

Well the Halifax people must have a good Karma. Because this past Saturday (July 10^th 2010) was totally suppose to rain all day but mother earth and our positive thinking made the rain go away and the park got dry just on time for the comp. We had a lot of skaters coming out of town for the contest ready to skate bright and early. The locals came later when they realize that the event was happening. Everyone was so hype. Greg from Pro Skate was on the microphone hyping kids to enter the contest. We had 30 entries, which is really good considering that the weather was very shitty.

The first guy to drop in was Alexandre Mitchell, he did a perfect run, bs smith, feeble, nollie heel, bs tail etc…This was a great way to start the comp. Everyone in the first heat was very solid. I was stoked to finally watch Neil Blackwood skating; he’s a well rounded skater with a super sick style. The Maritimes also have their own Riley Rolland version, his name is James Leger. This kid is so powerful and he can skate tranny, rails and big gap, he did one the biggest kick flip ever over the bank to ledge. It was nice to have people from out of town like Dan Cameron and Zack Summer. The Maritimes as so raw talent and even the old man like Ben Nicoll and Chris L’Esperance were showing the kids what’s up. The vibe was so sick and everybody was cheering for all the tricks. The jam format is so awesome and it gives a great opportunity to all the skaters to push them self to the next level. You’ll see what I’m talking about when you’ll watch the video.

The video will be ready next week.

After the contest we all gather at the Argyle bar and got liquored, best way to end a great skateboarding day. Thanks to DJ T-woo for the good beats.
