| Toronto's Stan Wadlow park under construction |
| Our eastern Canada Skatepark Construction Specialist Eric Meunier is back, and the skaters of Toronto couldn't be happier because they know what that means: silky smooth crete! Eric is working with two local construction firms, building the plaza style street course and small bowl section. Toronto, get ready to shred! |

| Spectrum sponsors Vancouver International Film Festival - Hosoi movie |
| The making of a documentary of Christian Hosoi's life & times, Directed by Cesario "Block" Montano and narrated by Dennis Hopper, has been seriously under the radar.

Barnum joined pro skaters Richard Sarrazin, Steve Lange and the truly
awe inspiring Brent Jordan, along with the rest of their "East Coast
Skate Militia" on a phenomenal trip to North Carolina's Outer Banks, of
all places. One would never guess, but some of the newest parks &
most insane terrain is popping up in this beautiful, coastal, southern
state. Thanks to everyone down there for the incredible
hospitality...see ya next year! |

| Spectrum awarded Belleville, ON park design |
| The
parks just don't stop! This country rules, we're so lucky to live in
such a progressive & supportive place. Belleville has stepped up in
a major way, after seeing the work we did in neighbouring Madoc and
Quinte West, they want to have the best park around. Let's do it! |

| Kenora, ON skatepark is open! |
| Kenora's
grand opening was unreal. We brought out Vancouver pros Kris Foley,
Geoff Dermer and Spencer Hamilton to demo for the kids. Our demo team
was joined by the crew from Sk8 Skates in Winnipeg who made the trip
out for this gem of a park, as well as locals the Serdelutz Brothers
along with President Jim Barnum & our construction crew members
Brandon & Luke. The demo went off, & this park is worth
visiting not only for Spectrum's usual "never been done before" street
elements, but for the view. Check the photos on our "skateparks" page;
Kenora stepped up to the plate & gave the skaters the finest site
for a skatepark that we've ever seen in over 8 years in the business.
Who's game to top this one? |
