LC Leo: Exploring the West
By: WARDOG


 Yea for those of you who wonder where i am..
After  spent a month in cali (santa cruz and san Bernnasomehting, more in specific) busting out partying and surfing..  decided  to head up to something colder.. Here i am at BC, shi*ts here are pretty wild,  the booze are  way expensive... and i found  out aobut the canadian chicks theory.. they arent any hotter than ones we have in states.. just the beer here is stronger.  But hey i stilllove it :0
about the pics.. meh i kno its old but im too lazy  to take pics, and summer keep saying im not a photogenic.. to make it worst takes forever to upload a pic here..
But anyway.. BC is bombing now. heading to whistler the end of the month..but before that im going for the turfino waves (surfing) and big white powder is much better than mtn creek..so yea suckas be jealous as much you want cuz im heading out...big night, see y'all someday if i keep alive 'til then..

The 5th annual DC National Skateboard Championship kicks off this weekend in cities across Canada.  With over 2500 participants expected in the first round this is the biggest skateboard contest of its kind in Canada, possibly the world.

 

The Local Qualifiers will seek out the top 5 skateboarders to move on to the Regional contests happening next month. The Regional contest will further boil down the top 5 skaters of each region to meet in Montreal, QC on August 25th to vie for the $10,000 cash prize purse and be crowned the 2007 DC National Champion!

The DC Nationals is a Non-Profit, Canada-Wide skateboard contest and the only event of its kind that gives Canadian amateur skaters a chance to showcase their talent on a national level.

My Blog: Skateboarding Explained
By: 941_JErEMY


Skateboarding...

the feeling of freedom as you push a 7.75" wide x 32" long peice of compressed canadian maple plywood down the street, or the feeling of acceptence when you throw some banger down the stairset near your house and you hear the banging of tails smacking the ground from the rest of your boys.

Skateboarding...

Clears the mind after a long day at work or school, takes all the bad things in your life and simply puts them aside for those few hours that you are out of the house just pushing along.

Skateboarding...

The rush you get when you learn a new trick on accident, your just skating, trying varial heels... when you overcompinsate a little and the board spins a bit to much, sure you didnt land the trick but it opened your eyes and mind to the thought of "well maybe i can get it to get the fully roatation?" and you get super stoaked on what could be in the near future.

Skateboarding...

Now its not always the most enjoyable experience... Most kids these days are to worried about " whats that kid throwing down that set?" or "i need to get footy and get sponsored" GET OVER IT! Skateboarding should never be a maticulous act in which you hate doing but feel the need to prove to others that you are better than someone else.

Skateboarding...

Worse then those who do anything for the fame and glory are those who go into solitary confinement when they skate... No friends, no fun, no nothing... Just them and an iPOD against the world... I mean, dont get me wrong I have had mine before you even knew what an iPOD was... But i dont go to the park blaring music to loud to pay attention to others skating... They give NO recognition to anyone who lands anything and often find themselves being ran into because they cant focus on whats at hand...

Skateboarding...

This double-edged sword leaves some bruised and broken, but its the price they are willing to pay to feel the freedom and acceptance that goes along with it. Others outside the skateboard world will never understand why we spend hours upon hours perfecting our craft... to them they see angry teens breaking the law and pushing around some 2x4's straped to some skates... they will never realize the impact skateboarding has had on so many peoples lives.

Skateboarding...

Explained//end
