Canadian Roll

Toronto’s Popularity Contest

Look like Dave Ghent has been in talks with Leon Basin and Todd McInerney for making the Popularity Contest a nation wide event. The Pop Contest has gotten huge out in western Canada, so the next step is to bring the event to the Greater Toronto Area. The Contest is set to be held on June 1st at the Brampton Park, so clear your calenders. More information will be posted as it becomes available.

I was going through the Rollernews messageboard, and I came across THIS POST by Imightbearedneck (who is Billy O’Neil I believe, but I am not sure). The post directs you to an excellent youtube video that reviews the Truth DVD for close to 10 minutes, and gives you a real idea of what the movie is like. I really like this idea of video reviews and give a lot of respect to whoever did it (I only know his first name is Greg).

Matt Vigneux / Ontario House Edit

Matt Vigneux and Ontario House production just updated their website (http://www.ontariohouse.org/) with a great edit showing an amalgamation of clips from Ontario, Calgary, Montana, and Michigan. If you want to check out the original post go HERE. Also, be on the look out for Ontario House’s next video “For the Kids” that is being shot in the summer!

If you own “We Are Valo 2″ you have already seen this, but if you do not own the DVD, this is a bonus section on the DVD that features skating from Soichiro Kanashima, Erik Bailey, Ross Kuhn, Victor Arias and Special Guest Jeff Stockwell, an excellent line up if I ever heard one. You can check out the full edit and download it HERE. Also, respect goes out to the Valo website for constantly updating, its good to see some websites still do that.

I am pretty sure most of you know this already. However, it is a significant piece of rolling news and I have not posted it yet, so for those of you who do not know, Razors skate have done a complete website redesign. Go to http://www.razorskate.com/ to see some new media  and website lay out.

I already put a link to this catalogue in the bigger “New Empir3 Distribution Website” post. However, I know people sometimes skip longer posts, so seeing as the Heat website put a direct link I will post it again. CLICK HERE if you want to see the new spring / summer clothing line from Heat wheels.

The Revolution skate shop website put up a picture of Derek French holding up my future skate (Aragon 2s). People can not get enough of these skates so I figured I would share. If you want to see the bigger version go HERE.
