Desaulniers, Dermer and MacAlsiter on the Circa Summer Camping Trip.

Back in July the fine folks over at Circa were kind enough to invite Kyle, Sean and Geoff on a camping trip to the interior. The weather was perfect , the spots and parks were great.
Here are some of the people we rolled with,


this is Hayden, he grew up in Point Roberts and he rips.

Magnus Hanson is a good friend indeed, always down to 'hype the session' . Here he empties his shoe full of scum water after spending a good two hours draining that pool. Right before he front feebled the coping...

Elliot is the Circa T.M. , he takes care of business on and off the board.

Sean enjoys his smoke, Geoff enjoys his coffee,.

Stoked to see the boys at Deviate boardshop hooked us up with a window display

'Back of the cash register back ground props'


Kyle feels the need to drop in on everything.

Sean after handling the 9 stair rail like a champ.

Adam from Dunas skateshop let us stay at his house in the 'hood' in Vernon.


No one likes getting their photo taken while waking up.

Brian , Elliot , Amus, and Adam , had to stop at Duna's.



Magpie and Parm, who came and did a great job filming, watch for the video soon!

Everyone thinking about it...

Nicky - this is a priceless photo.

On our way out of town.
Sean and Brian look forward to the mission through the mountains.



Sean knows how to chill.

Hungry like the wolf tour

From July 17th to 21st we hit the road to do a couple of demos. AJ and Haistie had to stay behind, but with Sean still in town, and Wilson and I down for the cause, it wasn't hard to convince the aussies and our friend Jordan to join us for a trip up North.




The van was a liitle packed, and unfortunatly we took a wrong turn and drove 300 exra km.



Quick stretch outside of Ruins Board Shop in Prince George.






We were lucky to get to skate here, best ghetto spot we'd ever seen, this footy we're saving..




Thank you Aussie Bret for driving all 3000 km on this trip..




Demo Posse!
Wilson, Boyd the Aussie, MacAlister , Guye from Ruins, and ultra O.G. Kelly Bergman made an appearance.





DJ from the demo hooked us up with a place to stay , after a day of skating and no sleep the night before, most of us passed out right after the barbq.



The next day we had to drive 6 more hours east this time to Grande Prairie.
Wilson stretches his car legs while drinking.



Sean enjoys the fresh air with mountains for hours in all directions..



John from Dark Flavour had the demo well set up and ready to go when we arrived, this brand new park is in a town called Sexsmith outside of Grande Prairie.



The kids turn up when you put on skateboard demo's... these guy's we hyped.



He wins the wolf board and the raffle money. This demo had it all.







We hyped the kids up enough to at least play skate.



Geoff three shuvvy



John had us all stay at his amazing house, he lives above his store right downtown.



Where we chilled out on his roof.



Next day we woke up and drove another 2 hours to Dawson Creek, found this flat bar on the way where Boyd enjoyed some smith grinds.







Tyrel hooked everything up. He even helped MC the demo.



We all helped MC the demo.









Pretty much everyone in town rolled down.





Geoff was interviewed...





We skated ....



On film the whole time apparently?





Thanks Again to Jenn and Tyrel from Rocksteady for getting the town to pay for our trip, and for feeding us the most amazing dinner, and letting us all crash on their floor.



Fifteen uncomfortable hours of driving later and we were home in one piece.

So the Damn Am came to Van and Wilson was down to enter.



Here is Cory checking out the wet course and wondering what he is going to do during his run..

(watch the video above to find out)




It's definitely not your average contest when rain is involved.



Dermer and Hastie came to show their support for young Wilson, here is Geoff giving some words of wisdom from the sidelines.
"Breath slow, take it easy, don't try tricks you can't land" or something along those lines.



Here is Mike double checking to make sure Jordans angles are looking up to par..



In the end Wilson finished 9th and won $200 in best trick. Here is wilson with his prize, a pretty lame picture for his wall, whatever happened to trophies?

Mega Summer Blog part 1 of 4 - MacAlister in Vancouver

Have not updated blog here in a while, too much skating going on in the summer! Aside form a great couple of months of the crew getting to skate and film together the biggest news was that we convinced Sean MacAlister to come out to Vancouver for the whole month of July.



When he wasn't on the Circa camping trip , or the Kitsch 'Hungry like the wolf' tour Sean could be found either in the library reading and working on one of his many art projects, or exploring back alley's for what we call 'MacAlister spots' (things that only he can skate.) Oh we did drag him to some functions to mingle with some of the other people who sponsor him, here is Sean chillin with Aussie Boyd, and Dominique and Elliot from Circa at the 'Across the board' art-show/mini ramp skate party.



Here is an old part of Sean skating at home in Calgary
