Vox Sesh and Kaslo

Alright so another double dose here. This time we've got a little of Skate Week 3/Vox Ams and our Kaslo trip.

This Last Thursday was week 3 of July Skate, and the Vox team came to premier they're Black and Blue Volume 4. My brother and Luke were lucky enough to skate with them up in kimberley during the day before they came down for the skate sesh. I didn't hear much about it other than they were sick. Other than them being there it was a pretty typical game of skate, I don't know who one, or really who was in the finals, I wasn't really paying attention this week, what I did notice though is with the Vox guys here everyone stepped up they're games and threw down. I don't think I got any pics from the actual game of skate, I was trying to get more of the Vox guys.















There wasn't really much to the Kaslo / Nelson trip. We skated the Indoor in nelson for an hour, Larsson ran into these two girls who just love making out with eachother again. Before we went to Kaslo we went to a coffee shop that aparently had amazing sandwiches, but the fell of the place sucked. Kaslo however was pretty rad, their park has a full bowl with a pocket at one end and a small channel at the other end. The rest of the park is mostly tranny based street with 2 small 3 sets, a small 2 flat 2 and an average sized 7 set. All with either rails or ledges going down them. I don't know why, but I didn't take many pictures. We went to check out Fletcher falls too, which are pretty much the most piratey lookin falls i've ever been too. They've got wooden walkways everywhere, fallen trees, a small cave and it's all in a canyon leading to kootenay lake, It's super gnarly.

Skate Week 2

First off, I could have wrote about the Skate comp that happened last weekend. BUT I didn't so deal with it. heres a few pics from the weekend though.


Yeah I know we went for a skate comp, but theres no skate pics. Well we were to busy livin like bums to get any skate pics that were sick. We showed our faces at the comp but it was pretty lame, bunch of albertan barbies runnin the show. So yeah No skate pics.


But lets get to main point, today was Week two of "So you think you can skate"...(I still don't know about the name.) If you don't know its basically a GINORMANTUOUS game of skate that is usually a complete demo derby at the start and ends up being gnarly guys doing gnarly things, and a barbeque all put on by Boarders Choice. This weeks game was all ledge and box tricks so the bridge was being fought over the whole time and the game was insanely packed, my group ended up getting half way through the game and then got frustrated and decided to split into two and start over. So after all that nonsense I made it to the final two of my game and pretty much had enough of the demo derby by that point so I gave up to Ryan? The Finals happened about 15 minutes later and was destroyed by Clayton, Baby face, Colton, Jacee, Ryan, and one other dude that I don't know. Baby face took it in the end and Clayton got Second. Best trick went to Clarke with a Backside Tail Shove out on the bridge. After the game and prize toss out me and Jacee had a mad photo sesh in the bowl. So heres the Pictures.



At the end of the game mike got pulled over pretty much as soon as he started movin. Probably for driving on the grass even though they have a permit to be there. So I don't know what happened but heres still a picture.
