Police "force"


We all know cops are just terrorists in training, and random police violence is on the rise....but this is just out of control....read this. My favorite part is when 15, that's right 15 police cars were called in, as well as a police helicopter....what the hell is wrong with this world?

DNA rules the world.


It is my great honour to announce to you and the world, that Kitsch skateboards are now on the wall of DNA skateshop. So come on down and get your shiny new Kitsch deck this weekend and enjoy this marvelous weather we are in for. I'd like to thank Geoff for leaving work early yesterday to get our package in the mail!!! Now that's how you run a company!!!! Thanks Geoff, thanks Russ for making these boards pretty to look at.

Kitsch bitsch.


Here's the deal. Have you heard about Kitsch Skateboards yet? Do you live in a cave? Well....actually, some of you probably do...all you Gabriola kids. Anyway, it's this fantastical new company started by Geoff Dermer, everybody's favorite canadian plank rider. He asked some weirdo named Russ Morland to do art for the company. Good move on Geoff's part, because Russ has a wacky imagination. And that's something most companies these days are lacking...an imagination. And fun. This company is so refreshing it makes a can of cola look like saltwater. The team consists so far of Geoff Dermer, Jesse Booi, and Brad Sheppard. What more could you ask for....other than chicks in bikini's cheering you on when you land a trick. The boards are pressed in a top quality wood pressing location, and are pro quality...as well as the graphics. So here's the deal....we are going to be one of only a handful of shops in the world to feast our grubby hands on these fine boards early. So if you want a deck that will make you skate like Dermer....well, that's not going to happen....but at least you can try in style.Check out their website for some fun things.

Wrath of the Maniraffe.


Super Ltd. edition Black Russian T-shirts here. And I mean super ltd. Designed by your favorite local english pirate, Russel Morland. Come and feel the wrath of the Maniraffe.

Stuff. And things of the like.


New Es, and Emerica shoes in. I know you've been waiting for the Leo Romero Emerica shoe. Do you want to skate like Leo? Well you can't, but you can wear his shoes. Come on down. A new colour of the Es Accel, and the Standard. And the Kirchart 4 is here again...it goes fast, so don't hesitate, or hate, or be late.

Oh you know, this and that.


Not much news to report this weekend. I tried not to skate, or think about skateboarding for my two whole days off....it lasted about a day. Apparantly skating on a intensely bruised heel does not help the recovery process...two cheers for Jay, yip, yip. I put up some wicked new photos of Tyler on his page.. Photo's taken by Russ M. The one accompanied by this brilliant blog entry is Tyler doing a wall glider to backwards.

Wednesday pictito.


Mat's a crazy sonofa bitch. Tailslide at McGirr School. They put up a new sign there saying no skateboarding till after 4:30pm..which is the coolest thing I've ever seen. Crappy picture by me. Learning camera's is hard. But I managed to touch up this photo a little bit.

Stacked. The team that is.


Just when you thought our team couldn't get any better...it couldn't..but we added another amazing skater to the roster anyway. Tyler White is the man. I just added his profile to the squad so check it out. Plenty more photos on the way, that's all I have at the moment. Check it out here sucka.

The wait. The learning process.



....so this is how it is....learning how to take photos on a film camera is frustrating. You don't know how much you screwed up till you develop them. I was able to touch up these ones of Joel Wood, but barely. You can still see the trick..that's all that matters. Sorry Joel. Nollie heelflip, and a frontside flip from little hip to big bank of scariness. Joel is getting too good too fast.

Confused? I thought so.


The new issue of Confusion Magazine is in!!!!! It won't last long, so get down to the shop to grab a copy. It's free. Let me say it's a fine issue, and not just because I'm in it...nope, because it's the first colour issue!!!! Three cheers for Confusion. Yip,yip,yip.
