What an epic day


Back in July, two friends and I set out to break the record for 'Most Skateparks Skated in One Day'
Here's the video. 



5AM. Hadn't slept much. 

Park #2. Ajax Community Centre. I was originally going to skip a lot of modular parks, including this one, but when I had to bump up to numbers from 38 to 50 all parks were fair game. I got a boardslide here but we somehow missed the clip.

 
Park #10. North Oshawa Park. 

Park #12. McKinney where I got the fakie tailstall finger shuv first try. It would be a finger flip at the same park that would break my collarbone.

Park #13. ARC. Hit the AJAX 

Park #25. Got here just before noon. Half way done.

Lunch

Park #30. Hillside Park in Vaughan

Park #38. Chinguacousy Park in Brampton. When we got here I pointed out my line to Chris and got it first try until I slid out on a One-foot Willy at the end. 

Park #46. Gellert Skatepark in Georgetown. Tying the record set by the Colorado Boys.

Park #47. 3 Musktears Skatepark in Acton. New Record!

Park #50. Milton Community Skatepark. Jello legs but I managed to carve and slash over the stairs and call it a day. We finished before 10PM and now my friends are asking 'what are we doing next year?'



The next day everything weighed a million pounds so I was happy when my daughter took a nap.

I retired the board. It earned it.
