Oct.4th - Skateboard Workshop In Lunenburg, Nova Scotia
News,Events,Contest & Video Premieres: Saturday, April 19, 2008
The first online S.K.A.T.E.-event everybody can enter.
How it works:
A new trick, that must be redone, is presented by a top skater every Monday.
You have seven days to redo, film, and upload the trick on www.king-of-skate.com. An upload countdown on www.king-of-skate.com will announce the time left.
All tricks must be done on flat ground!
If you land the trick, you are moving on to next round.
As soon as you don't upload the trick within seven days, the trick is not clearly visible or not landed properly (hand or foot touches the ground, no clean rolling away), you will recieve a letter.
If that happens to you five times and you complete the word S.K.A.T.E., you are out of the race.
To become the King of S.K.A.T.E, you have to survive the whole starter field and be the last competitor left.
You can enter the competition until the fifth week, but you will get a letter for every so far completed trick. If you enter in the third week, there will already be two completed tricks. Therefore you recieve the letters S and K, but you still have the chance to become the King of S.K.A.T.E. and win 2.500,- EUR cash + an exclusive interview in the Titus Magalog.
The weekly prize is yours, when you get the highest rating for your landed trick after the upload closure on Sunday evening. Furthermore you will be mentioned as winner of the week in the playboard.de news.
The landad tricks can be rated without exception by all registered BESTTRICK-users. Independent of the fact if they are entering the competition or not.
The voting for the tricks ends with the upload-closure. To increase your chance of many votes and a high rating, you should upload your trick as soon as possible every week.
For the competition entry you need an own BESTTRICK-Account.
All uploaded tricks must be done by you in person.
Already uploaded tricks on BESTTRICK are not accepted. You should redo and not present the tricks.
The decision if a trick is landed or not is exclusively made by our unbiased judges. Their judgement is correct and final.
If you are violating these rules, you are excluded from the competition.

Skateboarders set to jam in Lunenburg
by
Robert Hirtle
Veteran local skater Vaughn Whynot
With spring just around the corner,
it's time for skateboarding enthusiasts of all ages to dust off their
boards and start getting the kinks out for the upcoming season.
One thing that is sure to help them brush off the rust is an
event entitled Spring Into Skate Jam, slated for the Lunenburg
Skateboard Park April 6 beginning at noon.
The event is being organized by veteran South Shore skating
aficionado Vaughn Whynot, who says the idea is to stage a no-cost
skating event that will allow adults and youth alike to come together,
show off their boarding prowess "and just have a good time.
"What a skate jam is, compared to a skate competition, is that kids
would [have] to pay to enter a contest," Mr. Whynot explains. "[But] a
skate jam is groups of friends getting together … [to] just skate and
have fun. What people started doing was saying hey, why can't we do
that and give prizes out for the best skater in the group."
With that idea in mind, Mr. Whynot solicited several local
businesses as well as the Lunenburg recreation department, which
graciously donated prizes for the winning skaters.
Those will be awarded in a variety of competitions which will be
staged for three different skill levels - peewee, intermediate and pro.
He is also looking for volunteers who might be willing to video and
photograph the event as well as individuals "who can help out and just
make sure everything is fine and going smoothly.
"We're kind of hoping some bands would donate their time to come
and play a little bit. That would serve as advertising to them and
bring a little bit of music for the kids. If we did have bands, it
would put a lot more of a feel to the event," he says.
Mr. Whynot says that while skate jams have been held in Lunenburg
before, this event will be different as it will be used as a kickoff
for the summer skating season.
A similar event held in Lunenburg in 2007 attracted over 100
skaters, and he is anticipating that number to double as expressions of
interest have come from as far away as Newfoundland for this year's jam.
"And I'm working on trying to get at least one or two pro
skateboarders to come down just for the weekend to sign a couple of
things and that sort of thing," he adds.
For more information on Spring Into Skate Jam, contact Vaughn Whynot at vaughnwhynot@eastlink.ca or call 530-5870.

Hello,
About one week ago today, me and a couple buddies
drove to the Bridgewater Bridgewater
So to the happenings of last week which ironically was
on Canada
Well 1/3 cops was half decent to us the other two
which were men were out-of-line to put it nicely. We forked over our prized possessions
with hesitation (skates). But no it wasn’t it over it seems everyone 16 and
older gets a fine of 135 and a court date. Well ill be going to court mid November
for doing something I love. Ill walk in with a smile on my face and a heltmet-less
angel’s shirt under my over.
Oh and why this all happened is because of the helmet law.
And when you grow up not wearing a helmet. And then they
See one kid get hurt at a park "not even
seriously" or
They get some fake world statistics, they try
Too slap helmets on us. Mind you this law is only
Effective in Nova Scotia
That’s why skateboarding is a crime,
And why i'm a convict.

Q&A With Greg Brewer with Vaughn Whynot
Greg Brewer….where the hell have you been. Last time I saw you, you where throwing down kick melons on the 2way in Lunenburg at my comp... Well let’s do this Q&A so I can find out what you have been up too.
VW - State your name, Age, hometown, sponsors, if you’re pro or am?
GB - I'm Greg Brewer I'm 21 years old and my sponsors are Real Skateboards, Spitfire Wheels, Thunder Trucks, and Vans Shoes.
GB - ha-ha oh yes its East alright. The sponsors are pretty kick-ass right now. They've all been super nice. I just got back from a trip to the states with Vans for an article in Concrete so I'm pretty hyped on that.
GB - Deck- Real 8 and 1/4. 52 mm Spitfire Wheels. Reds Bearings, 147 Thunders Trucks.
GB - That’s a tough one. Montreal and Toronto are both awesome cities but I think Toronto
GB - The Fallen Video, Lakai if it ever comes out. A new flip video would be rad too but I don't know if they're even doing one right now.
GB - Hardflips.
GB - Alexander Keith’s or Wendy's.
GB - Just have fun doing it mainly. It's the best way to mellow out and meet new people. If you’re having a good time that’s all that matters and people will see that.
Canada
GB - shi*tTY!!! If I hit my head it's my own fault. Someone could slip on ice or trip off a curb and hit there head but you don't need helmets to walk on an icy sidewalk. I hope.
GB - Switch three flips.
GB - The Homegrown one was fun and the Vans one I just got back from. But when a bunch of us from Fredericton and Moncton went to Calgary and ended up getting to skate in Slam City Jam.
GB - Appleyard, Reynolds, Rowley.
GB - I try to stay out of trouble, but I almost went in the police patty wagon the other day for trying to throw a giant road barrier over a fence ha-ha. As soon as I herd the brakes of the truck the officer had my face up against the side of the truck and my arm wrenched around my back ha-ha. Luckily some randoms saved me and told the cop that a car had just ran into the barrier and they saw me fixing it. He told them that they could fit in the truck too and better leave now. So they walked away. I ended up talking my way out of it because I had New Brunswick ID Vancouver
GB - I dunno I like to keep a good mix of everything. Lbc Park
GB - Hopefully I'll be in New Brunswick Halifax Park

Q&A With Ted De Gros
With Vaughn Whynot
1st of all Ted, I would like to thank you on doing this Q&A with me for the fact as I am a fan of yours since you was a am on santa Cruz...and now your pro...that’s crazy. I feel honoured in doing this because it will show that pros are normal guys just skating for the fact of...well skateboarding…I will also keep this quick and easy because you must be very busy these days. So let’s begin.
VW - How’s life mate, just for the record state your name and your sponsors, also your hometown?
TDG - Hey. My name is Ted de Gros. I’m sponsored by Santa Cruz Santa Cruz
VW - I been seeing a lot of you in mags these days… which one was you more stoked about?
TDG - My favourite interview in the last couple years was in Transworld. I think it was 06 sometime. I got lucky and managed to shoot all the tricks in a few days. I didn’t really plan any of the tricks so it was a bonus.
VW - Your Parts In “Get Tricks Or Die Tryin'” And “Yesterday’s Future”, which was your fav places to skate in your parts and out of everyone else in that video…who did you get more stoked off of?
TDG - I don’t think I had a part in digital. I may have had some tricks in it. I was definitely in yesterday’s future though. I’ve been to a lot of really good spots but they’re really scattered. Barcelona Texas Florida North Carolina L.A. Vancouver
VW - So now that you’re pro with Santa Cruz
TDG - Your pay is better and you get to see your name on a board. Other than everything feels the exact same. Your work and responsibilities are the same. Always gotta work for it.
VW - What is one trick that you are loving these days and which ones are you hating?
TDG - I’m loving mannys these days. I never took the time until the last couple years. I’ve always loved Rodney and Daewon but I thought I couldn’t do that stuff. It’s worth a try. I hate three flips because my trucks are too tight.
VW - What’s your fav spot in Canada Canada
TDG - Everywhere in Canada Vancouver Vancouver Island Thormanby Island
VW - What are your views on the helmet law in Canada
TDG - What helmet law? Nobody out west has to wear helmets unless they just changed that. In Santa Cruz
VW - One trick you wish you had on lock down?
TDG - 1080 flips
VW - Craziest road trip?
TDG - The long ones across America Vancouver Canada Prince George red deer
VW - an Am and pro that gets you pumped?
TDG - Jack Lalane gets me pumped. Emeril too.
VW - Well thanks Ted for doing this for me and the skate scene of the world. Any last words and shout outs?
TDG - No problem. Thanks as well.

Q and A with Bruce Treby
20 Questions with Bruce Treby
Questions Asked By Vaughn Whynot
Answers by Bruce Treby
Photos by Scott McClellan
State Your Name, Age & current Location you are at?
Bruce Treby, 21, and I live in Little Harbour, NS
How’s she going?
Things are going great! I’m healthy, back in school and skating as much as I can when the weather is good. It’s been raining for almost a month straight now.
So Bruce when you were a kid, what made you start skaten?
I started skating when I was in grade 7 cause I seen a few older guys doing it and it looked fun. I tried it once and was hooked!
Who did you look up to when growing up (pros, People)?
I mostly looked up to the local guys but for pros I really like Deawon Song and Jamie Thomas
So who are your sponsors these days…and how did this happen, where you a video-tape kid or did they find you?
I ride for Homegrown Skateboards and Ipath Footwear. Homegrown just kinda found me and I got hooked up with Ipath after “The Burning Whale Project” was released.
It must have been fun filming parts for the Homegrown Video. Do you have an interesting story from the whole time filming?
Yeah, I had a great time filming. I’d say the most interesting story from the whole thing is that I was working 6 days a week and filming only after work and on Sundays. It made it interesting, especially when we had to drive a few hours to some spots. All in all it was a great time!
Hey Treby, do you mind me calling you Treby; do you have any hobbies besides skating?
Everyone calls me Treby, even my girlfriend does too! When I’m not skating I’m usually snowboarding or causing trouble for someone.
What are you views on the harassment skater get from, police, bikers/bladders and local mouths? Have you ever encountered arguments or fight because of being a skater?
I’m so sick of getting razzed and harassed by the police and other “authority figures”. I mean sure their doing a job but this whole helmet law thing has gone too far. I can’t count the number of times I’ve been kicked out of spots as soon as I roll up. I haven’t gotten in a fight but there have been some close calls.
Do you still believe skaten is about roots or is it something else these days?
I like to think skating is about roots but every little kid always asks who you’re sponsored by or if you’re pro or am and how could they get sponsored. I think a lot of kids are skating for the wrong reasons these days.
So anything coming up these days with you (mags, videos, new product) or you keeping low?
I’ve been keeping it pretty low key this year. It was a pretty rough one for injuries.
I saw that footy of your bail….your a real trooper for getting back into the scene, I also heard you where more worried for your tattoo then your body, what was you thinking?
That was a rough little patch for me but I’m good to go now. Yeah I didn’t realize how serious it was until after the surgery but your right. I was worried bout my tattoo. I went back to the rail and cut the kink off to keep it for a trophy and decided to try it again and slammed on my face. Lost a tooth and knocked myself clean out. I didn’t know who anyone was or what happened for a good 10 or 15 minutes. Needless to say I’m not going back…lol
Here are a few simple questions, Fav AM this year?
Ryan Decenzo
Fav Pro?
Jereme Rogers, He’s so well rounded on everything.
Last Skate Video you watched?
DVS skate more
Last Mag you read or book?
I haven’t had time for anything but school work….
Biggest Fear?
Not scared anymore. I already lost a tooth skating…might get one for Christmas though!
Trick you’re stoked on? Trick your trying to get down?
Pretty much anything on a rail. And I’ve been trying to get tre flips…..
Saying over used?
Do you think Skate Style is Important, and is this g-unit and/or emo getting out of hand?
Thanks for your time…hope to see you kick'in around the area around here. Any last words or props for anyone? P.S. Did you see the Hali-Park, She’s looking sexy.
Thanks to Jesse at Homegrown, Shayne and Mike at S & J for the Ipath gear, Brad Macdonald, Travis Francis, Scott Maclellan and everyone else I’ve forgotten you know who you are.
