Newmarket Park

So after a shoot in Lindsay falling through the roof due to my lack of financial independence, i decided a $6.75 trip to Newmarket park seemed to be more college friendly :P
So after a hour long bus ride I landed in good ol' newy , once i got there i hooked up with the Jansma brothers + 1 (The Hilarious and Eccentric) Ross! The whole point of the trip wasn't to even shoot photos it was to go to Nate's gf's house for a shindig... but knowing the Jansmas it was to be expected that a trip to the Kindsman park was in order. So we called a cab and 15min later we were at the skatey. First session of the night started in the bowl located right near the front doors. I wound up with these photos :


Nate Jansma-Blunt stall

Nate and Ross- Doubles (feeble)

After we sessioned the bowl for a while I brought up the idea to session the new triangle thingy they had just built a few weeks back :



Although it doesn't look like a lot there were definite bangers being thrown down on this little triangle. And to my surprise the man of the hour decided to join the session Jay Brown, this guy is one of the most consistent street skaters I've seen in a very ling time. He zones into what ever trick he plans on doing and doesn't let up until its perfect or close enough to it with out getting hurt. He has made several trips to places like CALI , he rides for several companies including BTL (blue tile lounge). Despite his grungy (hobo) look this man has "stee" style has almost every trick in the book on lockk !



So After we left the park and eventually ended up at this party, things took a turn for the definite worst. The party started off small but some of the guys from the park showed up after a while and we were all having a blast until the girls started having a shit fit, seriously freaking out kicking people out and one girl slapped another girl-funny thing about that- when the girl slapped the other girl, i was sitting next to her and i got some kind of weird kickback..... a.k.a. i got slapped in the face for no reason at all :P hahaha worst shit of my life. anyways i managed to shoot a small video that i thought was pretty funny with my camera phone , so excuse the quality of the video :P



So that's about when we decided to leave and to sum up the rest of the night we went back to the Jansma house ate massive amounts of food , watched steph play h3 (halo 3) untill about 6:30am then we slept untill about 11 :P

what a weekend :)

much love
Eric :)
