PEACHES

It seems like a few sweet spots have been popping up around the Okanagan lately. I would imagine anyone from Kelowna or Penticton who rides or skates will probably recognize this pool. Thanks to Slade and a few others handy work this spot is awesome and definitely the best pool I've ever ridden. Hopefully we will see a lot of good sessions going down here all summer long.

Enjoy it, if you can find it!

Luke Gilfoyle, who's a really good friend from back home in New Zealand sent me some of his photos from his recent stay with us here in Kelowna.
It's always a rad time hanging and laughing with Luke, he's pretty chill on and off his bike and always down for relaxing with some cold ones.

It was awesome having you here man, hope you come back really soon!
Thanks for the sweet photographs.

SUPER 8

I've been wanting to put this edit up for a while now. Between 07 and 09, my girlfriend Katrina and I traveled around the world. While living in Melbourne, Australia I purchased a old super 8 camera as a Christmas present for Katrina thinking it would be a great thing to take with us in our travels as we we're heading to Europe after Australia.
The cameras are pretty easy to come by but the film is a bit of hassle to find and having developed and processed is even harder. I found a great place that is run out of Australia called Nanolab. If any one wants to know anything about super 8 cameras or film this is the place to go.
After buying four 3 minute films, living and traveling throughout Australia, Europe, NYC and coming back home to Canada then sending our films back to Australia to be developed and processed and shipped back to us, this edit is a small snippet of what we ended up with. I put in all the riding clips we got including some rails that Slade and Desson slid last year.
Super 8 doesn't capture sound, so I added in a Beirut song for your listening pleasure.

Hope, you all enjoy it!

TREASURE

A few of us went out for some street riding on Friday afternoon to shoot some pics and check out a pool that we had heard about from a friend. The mostly empty pool is awesome, its insane that this spot hasn't been discovered earlier. After getting Desson to carve over the light in the deep end about a hundred times for a photo, we got to work bucketing out the scum water at the bottom. Some pretty fowl shit came out of the bottom of that pool, but its going to be a epic spot once its ready to ride.
