The Dream Spot!!

(Location: Porcupine Lake, Timmins ON)
My brother sent me this photo from back home where spring flooding has afforded some really cool urban spots to winch. I've asked him to keep an eye on this one, cause I would seriously consider making the trip in the next few weeks....

New rails, new fun @ the Derome Cable!

Wow Plaza chez les Derome's is gearing up for a new season with some new rails. They modified the previous flat bar into a sick looking flat up down. The A-frame has been changed as well with the addition of a flat down/up flat section. If this weather keeps up, we will be able to hit these new beauties in no time!! Thanks to www.wake2wake.ca and Marc-André Besner for the update!

Tha-Coop @ Edelweiss Edit


Last Wednesday I took the liberty of renting a car in order to go shred Edelweiss with Matt Castilloux in beautiful sunshine and +12 temperatures. Whatever, it's a win-win if you ask me, I mean just look at the math:


+ car rental: 34$
+ gas: 25$
+ lift pass: 30$ (if paid)
+ a beautiful fucking day               
= PRICELESS.


Not surprisingly I met up with a few like-minded individuals and fellow Top teammates Ron Tremblay and Max Honergger, along with Mr. Raised By Wolves Cal Green. Check out this sweet little springtime shred edit they put together, and check 'em out at www.tha-coop.com...PEACE!

Return of the original SKATE NIGHT @ BABYLON 03.14.12

BABYLON x 11 PM x COVER $3 x DJ ACRO x JULIUS MYTH


With the recent blast of warmer weather and a full extra hour of daylight, it's safe to say that winter is finally on its way out. Skateboarders are in the streets sweeping hard, relishing in the joy and return of their four-wheel freedom.

As such, we expect a large and enthusiastic crowd to celebrate the return of Ottawa's beloved SKATE NIGHT, at Babylon Nightclub, after a brief winter hiatus. In order to mark this glorious occasion, Skate Night's brainchild Sam Francis is calling on the Ottawa skate community to help support the Wakefield skatepark initiative; this night is dedicated to raising money for our friends at the Wakefield Skatepark and Sports Pad

Making this night extra special will be the performance of Julius Myth (Queens, NY). Skate Night and Top of the World's resident DJ Acro has been working hard to secure this special guest feature performance. And if anyone is asking what the link is between Julius and skateboarding? Well, our boy Myth holds it down at one of NYC's premiere skateshops  Belief Skateshop and Boutique located in Astoria Queens. And so it follows that Skate Night was just a natural fit for this hip hop skate head. 

Check him out and come join us this Wednesday, March 14, 2012 at Babylon Nightclub (317 Bank St. Ottawa ON) for some drinks, new grip tape, dope beats, and manny madness!!

Half Cab'n Thailand!

Last month, my good friend Craig McCallion at Half Cab Productions took the liberty of spending his month-long honeymoon odyssey through the lands of Australia and Thailand. (Editor's note: You know you've scored the right girl when she's cool with spending a few days at a cable park AND has no problem taking over filming duties. Big ups to Nicole!)

Anyways, I was super stoked Craig got the chance to check out Thai Wake Park. He was even lucky enough to shred their newest feature (pictured above). But of course the highlight of the park has got to be the kickers, they are simply the BEST! Check out Craig making good use of them with this Nicholas Muller inspired Japan FS rodeo...
