Dew Underground

Dew Underground

Park 265

A temporary pop-up park sponsored by Mountain Dew with a tight mini-ramp, some rails ledges and banks & a small half pipe.

 Some great street artists did some work. 

Skull by Bacon.

 Free Mountain Dew and Doritos.

I worked in this building as a teen making frames one summer.

Dew Underground is also hosting concerts, video game events and DIY events.

 I submitted one of my stencils for the silk screening workshop and it was used.

Underground is on until April 19th.

Winter Wrap-up

Winter Wrap-up.

This winter was almost worse that last winter. No major ice storm but we have had 30 or more days of freezing temperatures. 

Here's the highlights.

1. December 22nd I got out to Elmira and skated my 264th park. 

2. Continued hanging with Skate Club.

3. Kitchener unveiled the final design for Fischer Park. Looks familiar. 

4. My friend Rick and his daughter, Esther, visited and she played on the ramps.

5. Found a new project.

6. My friend posted a cool shot of me at the Bala park last summer.

7. Had a baby. Well, my wife had a baby (on Christmas) and he's had a deck since birth. Today we went on out first scouting mission.

8. Aurora Family Leisure Complex Skatepark is finished.

Also, word on the street is the Grand Opening of the Elmira Skatepark will be on May 30th.

Skate Elmira is done! Great job by Spectrum Skateparks. Easily one of the most unique and enjoyable parks in Ontario.
Edit
Got some new, non-snowy shots.

My contribution to the design. 

December 2014

Many people put in a lot of hours to get this project finished.

 Pools closed til spring. Or some unseasonable warmth.

She's long, she's lean, she's anything but mean.

Went up to Muskoka Woods with SkateLife.

(in 2024 this park was replaced with a large, indoor pump track & all the outside features have been decommissioned)

 The Rainbow Box.

 Q-pipe transfer.

 Huge steep bank.

 Old Slam City Jam course.

We slid down the roll-in on mattresses. The following year it was clear (kinda) & I dropped in and dodged icy patches.
