Twenty Years

Last night we attended the premier of Wreck 10 and The Edge Skatepark 20 Years and Running Documentary

So did Bill and Nick...

...and the crew in the back row.

These people as well.

Post premier, bird's eye view from the observation deck.

What is love?

The End.

Spine n' Grind Revisited

We're all about digging in to the archives around here, but what's better than our own archives? When someone else digs in to their own archives to take us way back! Our fiend Darren Hull just posted this awesome shot of Winnipeg's Doug Robinson on the Winnipeg's Skateboarding History facebook page. It was taken during one of the many adventures out to the now defunct Spine n' Grind out in Brandon, Manitoba

Seeing this photo just upgraded today from awesome to super awesome! Keep em' coming Darren!

Louis Louis

Dear "Father of Manitoba", We hanged you for high treason. Our bad, we're sorry. We don't have to go to work today. Thanks. -The People

We jest, but since it's "Louis Riel Day" in Manitoba so we're dipping in to the archives...

Jake Stewart in front of the Louis Riel statue circa 1991-ish (the broken penis era).

Shortly after the resurrection of the new statue?

Grad photos a few years back in front of Louis Riel with some students from Collège Louis Riel (I think)?

That's all we got in Louis archives! Enjoy your day.

Couldn't find any sweet Velcro shoes... That's that!

The Edge Skatepark - 20 Years and Running Documentary

With this being the third Edge Skatepark post in a row it sort of feels like it's Edge Skatepark week around here. That's not really the case, but news is news and here's the last of it.... for now.

Saturday, February 23rd noon-9pm there's an all day skate session going down and two showings (4pm and 7:30pm) of both the Wreck 10 Premier and The Edge Skatepark - 20 Years and Running documentary. Sounds like good news to us. Check the flyer below for all the details!

The Edge 125 Pacific Ave Part II

The last post was published after a very long day, so it was lacking in detail to say the least. I've put a few moments aside to share more information on the now available The Edge 125 Pacific Ave book that was published to commemorate the 17 years of skateboarding and more that went down at The Edge Skatepark when they were located at 125 Pacific Ave.

Anna Lazowski from CBC posted more details in a great piece on the CBC SCENE page.

The book is full of great photos and memories! If you've ever been or you're just curious what went down there during the last 17 years...this book is a must have!

Although these photos aren't from the book itself, our friend George Zullich sent these to us when he heard about the book launch to show us a peak of his own Edge Skatepark archives!

Note: When I was at the NEW Edge Skatepark the other day, I needed to blow my nose. I went to the washroom to find some tissue and I noticed the stalls were out of toilet paper. I had an instant flashback of George's first shot...

The book can currently be purchased at McNally, The Edge Skatepark as will be coming soon to select skate shops.
