EPIC RUN 2
Blaze a New Trail
In the early hours of the morning on July 21, 2021, I set out to re-claim the record for most skateparks skated in a single day. My route took me across 6 regions, 13 towns and cities and nearly 600km. Starting at 3AM and going until nearly 11pm. The previous record stood at 53 skateparks by some of my buddies who were inspired by my 50 Skatepark run in 2019
There were a couple of setbacks. I forgot my tripod first thing in the morning and had to make a quick detour home to grab it. One seasonal parks in Toronto was closed and fenced off because the city evicted a homeless encampment. A really bad skate dot in Burlington was just gone. It's probably for the best.
Sometimes I got a trick quickly, other times I would battle a trick, fail & get an easier trick so I could get to the next park. Maybe I'll make an edit of the Tricks that got Away.
I had great weather for the entire day. Partly cloudy, no rain and not as hot as it had been in the days leading up to the trip
