Gone fishing.

One of the more popular Google searches that lure people to the Pancakes and Skateboards site is "Jake Stewart Winnipeg". Either he owes someone money or more likely people just want to know "whatever happened to Jake?"

I don't have all the answers, but obviously there's interest in Jake so here goes...

I remember this session like it was yesterday expect I think it was 1988. Darren Hull, Doug Robinson, Jake and a couple of other friends taking turns with ollies over the wall to drop at the Manitoba Teachers Union building.


Jake and I sharing our passion for all things straight edge during the summer of 1990.


Skip a year or two forward and here's Jake at The Princeton on Broadway.


We met up in Boston on New Years Eve 1993 for a festival which included Earth Crisis, Strife, Bloodlet, Chokehold, Grip and maybe twenty more bands?


It wasn't too long after that where Jake turned his back on straight edge and went balls to the walls, skateboarding full time.


Rumour has it...he packed it in, hit the ocean and has been fishing ever since. ...Winnipeg isn't for everyone. It was fun while it lasted!
