Task Around 2009

It’s only been a couple days since we left Quebec, but we miss it already. We had a such a great time with Matt, Allison, Stephane, and Marie on the road in Ontario and on their farm in Quebec. Thanks for all the good times and memories, we hope to see you out in Vancouver very soon. Life is short stunt it!

Here’s a picture from the other day that we forgot to put up. This was the first trick of the day in Sherbrooke. Matt had this trick planned out and no one could stand in his was, literally. Not even this big muscular guy in the middle of the road.

Here’s a few clips from the Lylac/Fast-Motion session at Le Taz skatepark that took place on the weekend. We’re saving the rest of the clips for the Task Around 2009 video.

As the title suggests we got a couple photos in Ottawa today. Josh didn’t want to skate this ledge but he still tried his best and land a few nice tricks on it including this kindgrind. Unfortunately, he took a bad fall to his lower back/hip while trying to perfect it with a 360 out.

Roger, from Canadian Roll, with a nice ao top porn on this high ledge at the university in Ottawa.

After eating some delicious shawarma, we left Ottawa and headed back to Toronto. On our way back we were feeling pretty baller in our whip and decided we should get a photo to show people how cool we are. So here you have it. Proof that we are gangster.

Shop Task.

Me, the camera geek.

We arrived back in Toronto just as the sun was setting. A perfect way to end the drive, and another long day.

Yesturday was a really busy day for us. We got up ealry, skated the Fast Motion barn, drove to Quebec City, got a few clips and then drove back to Montreal for the 9-12 session at Le Taz skatepark. After the Session we sleep-drove to Ottawa and arrived there around 4 in the morning alive and in one piece. Today we woke up at Roger and Katie’s place, and Katie prepared an amazing breakfast for us before we hit the streets of Ottawa with some of the local skaters.

Thanks Roger and Katie for giving us a comfortable place to sleep and taking care of us. We love you long time.

Now we’re on the 401 driving to Toronto, where we’ll be all week until the Brampton Comp next Sunday.

Here’s a few photos from our two hour visit in Quebec City.

We drove right into downtown Quebec and spotted this amazing rail out the castle wall. So we told Alex to get to work.

This tall guy in the picture was on his way to a club for tall people.

AJ trying to get clips in Quebec City. As you can see he doesn’t look too impressed cause there was way too many people getting in the way. So we walked away empty handed… except AJ, he has about ten grand on his shoulder.

Fast Motion and Lylac put together a rollerbladers only session at the new Taz skatepark. Here’s a few photos from the session.

Kaya Turski has always been one of Canada’s biggest talents. Even though she’s been really busy being a pro skier, touring, and competing, she still finds time to put on her blades and lace any trick she wants.

It’s so much fun taking pictures of Stephane cause he can do big jumps.

Fred is another guy who is fun to take pictures of cause he can jump real big and he’s also a super cool dude who is planning on riding his bicycle to Vancouver…my descriptions are just getting morst.

Kaya was doing full speed topacid to switch true topacid on the coping. But since it’s not a video I decided to just take a picture of the topacid cause it looks so good.

Stephane with a huge double kick foot stretch wheel spin 180 corked to drop…damn that’s a cool trick name. I came up it with if myself.

At the moment it’s 2:30am and we are driving to Ottawa, and my descriptions might not be the greatest. But they will be funny to read in the morning.
