alright well this is my first ever blog so don't be critical...
so anyways me and my friend jared braverman (canadian1st or something like that) went up with wvsc to ride in the coc park (which was pretty freaking smurftastic!!).
first day we all met in the morning it was me, him, joe, rob, oli, gage, brian, hajime, and little shredder trevor (that almost rhymes) and then henry and his friend zander joined us at lunch. ya it was a pretty sweet first day we got to try all the different hits and jibs...some memorable stuff were the 40ft boxes, the 32x16ft nomis dancefloor box, that down flat, and also that weird flat down at the bottom....pretty sick park if u ask me. later that day me and jared got to chill in the village for some zogs for dinner (jared ate a whole 20 piece mcnugget meal, pussing lip and all
)... i speant about 3 and a half hours of some h-core tech-decking, challenging all of the random guys who came in and out of showcase (its true ask jared he wanted to leave after 15 minutes or morgan who was working at the time)...ya on the second day we met...i was a bit less tired...and we went up with the same crew (with the exception of hajime because he hurt his back? and henry and zander who had to peace it back to the city) and then jared had a wicked sunburn, so bad that his lips started pussing (EEEEEEWWWWWWWW) and we got to head up fairly early. in the morning before we headed up, rob was nice enough to bring everyone some pretty cool little sticker packs. unfornutaely in the afternoon jared pulled a knot in his lower back so he had to take it easy for the afternoon...we all pretty much chilled in the side handrail section. they had a really nice green shotgun rail sloped down a bit which i really wanted to hit but i never got a chance...
o well, atleast i hit it during the season (its the same shotgun that was set up in the whistler park with the step up to the flat pad to the rail...)
so anyways on the third day we met in the morning again but this time, there was no oli! instead morgan came up and then we got to meet a pretty sweet guy named rusty and i got to interview him on the three chairs and the bus and we saw some cool animals(a bear by the pipe, a deer droppin a deuce and then a little gopher guy just chillin while we were on the bus) and he was also pretty freaking amazing hes gonna also give me his free nomis xxl hoodie and his '07 carty bindings. we're currently bff's so ya
i'm pretty sure i like him
ALMOST as much as tom!(not quite as much, toms something else!
) ya we switched gloves for a while, kuz hes such a nice guy. unfortunately i had to leave at like 11.30 to make it home so i never had a chance to showcase my cab 9s to rusty and throw down a train behind him when he pulls off his 270 on to switch-up 180 to nose slide to back 270 off on the fatty 40 footer boxes...and first hit at that...wow that guys a god. o and also watching him pull of 1440 spins on the big nomis box.... wow...speechless......
it was also hella tight to be able to check out all the pros there like tj shneider and dennis bannock doing some crazy stuff like handplants on the tall and narrow wall ride...pretty crazy...anyways it took like an hour and a half to write this so i'm gonna peace it soon...just wish me luck for my first ever tech deck comp at showcase soon! i'm so good w/e but i'll have to catch up with u later....
[maybe my next blog will be about the td comp!!!
]
peace!
