A couple shots from "FUCK IT SLIDE COMP" slide comp

Regular Underground's Ben Sloat gets huge and wins longest standup with 60 something feet. Congrats duder!
Jimmy Chhor was shredding hard and going into switch faster than I've ever seen someone.
Casual banana board shenanigans.
 Thanks to Kurt Gallant and OneSix Boardshop for putting on a great slide-jam/comp thing. There were lots of people. Stoke was plentiful and fun was had by all.

Kelsey at Kelowna

She skated as hard as should could all season, and quite frankly amazed me with her ability to get back up after crashing so much.
Hope to see you out there next year. Heal up strong.

Downhill Dodging 101 at Danger Bay

Sometimes at races, things can get a little hectic in your heat. Crashes happen- it's a part of the sport. There is a huge variable of things that could take you out at any time, causing you to get eliminated. It could be other riders, random wildlife on the track ala Buffalo Bill or Whistler, or just self-confidence.
Sometimes you avoid disaster.
You need to be prepared for things to get gnarly, and when they do- and they always do eventually- you should have some sort of strategy to get through these situations as safely as possible.
And sometimes you don't.
Ride safe folks!

Liam Poirier and Jesse MacIntosh get pitted on Knox.

After the first day of Skylands we still weren't tired so we decided to find a place to freeride around Kelowna. Mt. Knox was apparently the spot to be, because we ended up meeting a bunch of skaters there.
Victoria local and Regular Underground's grom Liam Poirier gets inside on one of Knox's many Hairpins.


Liam and Jesse from Nanaimo were givin' er at the race-course all day and didn't show a sign of stopping at Knox.
Jesse MacIntosh apexes a corner with ease.
I'm tired, so this is short.
