THE BOYS UP COUNTRY

The cars and vans are packed so high with people and gear that we everyone can barely move, but it hasnt stopped our mission! We made the trip to our first destination to stay at which happened to be directly on the lake which is incredible in the morning for wake up calls, most people didnt even bother showering, we just used the lake! The past 3 days over the weekend, we barged the penticton, the Kelowna and Osoyoos skateparks for fun than went street skating after. The parks have been a great warm up and fun times with everyone. From here on out its street time! We got 4 more days of pure streets in the heat.

GO SKATEBOARDING DAY VANCOUVER!

As we all know, yesterday June 21st was fathers day, but in our world, more importantly it was Go Skateboarding Day!! The Vancouver turn out was huge, with thousands of skateboarders starting their day at the Plaza. Everyone was happy watching the Emerica team do their thing even if alot of people were a little beat up from watching Andrew Reynolds band the evening before. From the plaza the streets were packed cruising to some of the spots around downtown Vancouver to chuck tricks for cash. As everyone cruised from spot to spot, eventually we caught the attention of the police, but instead of dumping beer, handing out tickets and plain well ruining our event, they just ended up being an escort through the city streets! The day went great ending with the now traditional skate over the Georgia viaduct bridge ending at the Stratchona skatepark for a bbq and more skating to finish the day off. All in all this years day was a success, cant wait to do it again next year!

KEVIN LOWRY UPDATE

Well its time for yet another quick update on what the guys have been doing with themselves all winter. This time around its kevin Lowry. Kevin spent alot of time in Europe this winter, here's a couple photos and his write up:


well to be honest I haven't been doing much. just skating and hanging out.
I spent 4 months in europe. most people would think o you must have filmed and done so much but for me i have been 4 times and i spent my own money to go so why would i Jump off a building? for the most part I try to enjoy coffee and seeing my friends from around those parts.
at the end I spent a week with the blueprint team just going on missions.
nice to hang with the boys and just talk. To be honest its hard being on the other side of the world and keep in touch.
since i have been home I started working at the skaters south shop. made a short trip to peg to see the new green apple shop and a few friends. it was a super good time. stayed in the mcdermott's basement. other then that my plans for the next while are to stay put work do a few small trips.
