We had an intimate screening of the new Fallen video last night. Let me just say that it was a good night, of pizza, beer, skateboarding and sausages. Heres some pics of the A/V action...Oh and the Fallen video ruled. You'll just have to wait.

Every photo I have seen of Dave, hes doing that. I don't know why he does it, but he does, and it weirds me out.

Herbal supplement sesh.

Muff and J-Wads

Neil and Melvin

Howie, Peter and Plummer.

Shooting the shit in a circle...fun.

Pete Mac and Paulson

Fuckin' Cap.

Fuckin' AA...On that 12 year old Whisky

See?

Two thirds of Dartmyth.

Oh yeah, it was Uptown Bealsy's Burfday, and he finally premiered his new video. Which will be available at Pro, sooner than later.

Even More JRJ Coverage!

Heres that Extra Special Super J-Wads edit. Listen to Zapp and Roger.

JRJ Video Lurkage

I know, I know, there has been a lot of Downtown Jump Ramp Jam coverage on the blog as of late...but it was a sick event if I may say so. Mark Hennessey hooked up this edit for us, and while I'm not sure about Gang Starr(very nineties), its a sick clip none the less. There should be an extra super special J-Wadz edit on the horizon as well.

Bernier Photo Spectacular

Mike Bernier just moved to the 'Fax from the Shore. He's got a fancy camera, and he takes skateboarding pictures with it. Which is exactly what is needed around here. Check some of these joints out.

Here we have Ben Stevenson with a kickflip over the hydrant into the bank.

Heres Simon Richards with a front smith.

This one is a little weird. Can you see Neil's board on the ramp to the right? Its a mid air board switch...I don't know what else to call it.

Not sure who took this one, because thats Mike doing the rock fakie on the wall.

Everyones favorite 12 year old: Johnny Purcell with either an ollie or a backside 180...not sure, let us know Johnny.

More JRJ Pics!!!

Here's a few shots from Andrew, who came all the way from ON to shoot photos for SBC, of the JRJ. LOL.
Josh Clark, text book method. Check the finger.

Me, mute, Japan, I don't know what you call it. Skulls.

Adrian McLean had to borrow the jacket, it was cold up there. 8 or 9 feet up every time.

NEW CAPS!

Damn these new hats are crazy.

This one was inspired by all of our favorite baseball team: the Milwaukee Brewers!!

Battle on the boards and the puck comes loose!! Mooseheads colourway.

SKATEBOOK!

Remember that whole Mark Regimbal vs Steve Berra episode? And Mark was angry with Steve because he didn't receive his Skatebook? Well now we know why: This book rules. We especially like the section with Bart Simpson shredding all the top spots in Cali. Amazing. Limited quantities, act fast.

JRJ !!

Zach snapped a few epic shots we thought we'd share. After seeing these you're going to be so bummed you didn't come. What could you possibly have done on a Sunday evening that would be this fun? Nothing...exactly.

Liam gets busy on a wallride to fakie. Hes riding like 80mm wheels and longboard trucks...not easy for "trickin'"

David...being David

Mr. Music has done these before. Airwalk.

The carnage.

Adrian came out and got big! And he got a hoody and a deck for it. Melon!

Check the extension on Mr. Hung's Airwalk.

Skidz was on a mission and was hitting the ramp with more speed than most would dare. Skidz is gnarly.

The honourable Swine J is a jump ramp vet, jean jacket tuck knee.

J Wadz and I would have won best costumes, but we don't count...More people need to dress up next time.

Josh Clarke was in town, and he did what he does best. Shralped. Method with textbook tweakage.

Thanks to everyone who came out. I'm on a mission to do more stuff like this, so stay tuned. Thanks also to Supra Distribution for hooking up an awesome amount of product for this.

The Boardin' Bulletin Board

Don't you hate it when people who don't skate call it "boarding"? Like when your mom, says "hey, are you and your buddies going boarding after dinner?" and your like "come on moooooom".

Here at Proskates we have started a new bulletin board that I want to feature local skate photos. Not some digital artistic photo. I want ghetto ass, disposable camera, or shitty $25 camera shots. I don't care how grainy it is, or if you didn't land it, or if its a bad angle. Bring em in, and you'll get on the board.
