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.

DC Nats Photos

So unless you live under a rock, you'd know that the DC Nationals qualifier went down this past weekend. I have been helping out with these contests for the past few years and I must admit that this was one of the better ones I've witnessed. Some truly amazing skating went down in contest itself. The best was saved for last however and we held three separate best trick contests for cash mon-ay...lets just say this: Shit went down. Big thanks to DC and Mark Regimbal for having events like this in Canada. And more thanks go out to everyone who came out and supported local skateboarding. We need you! Heres a few pics that J-Wadz snapped. Some professionaler pics should follow.

Nate went deep and got 5th.


Mark probably making Ben feel uncomfortable in this pic.

Nick, pretending to be surprised that he got 4th.


Neil showing off some of his winnings.


Heres the winning squad.

1st. Josh Clark
2nd. Ben Nicoll
3rd. Neil Blackwood
4th. Nick M. Hanlon
5th. Nate Oliver
