Skate Proof

Well I haven't done any sort of skate related project since UTET which was about 5 years ago, Since then I've worked on various film shoots learning the ropes. I've finally decided to try and combine both worlds by doing a feature length film that has an element of skateboard culture. I know there's lots of films out there that have skating in them but they're usually pretty cheesy, and make most skateboarders like myself cringe. There are however a few exceptions of decent skate films out there but they're definitely outnumbered by bad ones.

I began writing the film called "Skate Proof" last year and am now into production filming on weekends. Fredericton locals might recognize the cast in the movie starring Josh Palmer, Mark Feero, Greg Brewer and more.

Umph Ramp

There's another mini-ramp in town, well not really in the town but close enough. Snapped a little photo of Mike Appleby doing a blunt on the extension.

East Infection

A quick New Brunswick skate history lesson for ya.

12 years ago a video came out called "East Infection", the video was of a bunch of east coast dudes skating out west in Calgary hence the name East Infection. It was put together by Chris Hartigan and features Fredericton skaters Zack Peters, Frank Paulin, Pete Gregg, and more, as well as Saint John's Tim Breen closing out the video.

Now the full length video:

Moncton 2001

I was going through some old vhs tapes of skate footage that people gave me for the Under the elms video, and figured this short Moncton video that Jeff Delong put together in 2001 was worth uploading to youtube.

The video features Geoff Clifford, Justin Allain, Ian O'pray, Robbie Fournier, Jeff Delong and more.

Ramp Footy

Some footage from Evan Storey's new mini-ramp featuring Francis and Mark.

I haven't put up a photo in quite sometime so I figured I'd post this pic of Francis skating Evan's new private mini-ramp in Freddy.

Gautreau

I took a trip down to Saint John for the day and filmed a few tricks with Brian Gautreau at the plaza/park, and put together this montage from the footage.

Dimestore's The Deuce

The full video from Montreal's Dimestore crew "The Deuce" is now online, click the dvd image to head over to the website and check it out. Some maritimers are in the mix like Andrew Mcgraw, Josh Clark and Kyle Macdonald.

Cap

Former Haligonian and now Montreal resident Kyle Macdonald has been killin it and here's some raw footage to prove it.

Lion

In a non skate related post, former hockey player/skater Chris Hodgson decided to leave hockey and put the board away to focus on playing football last year, he had almost zero experience in football but his athleticism got him into the CFL playing for the BC Lions.
