It was through skateboarding that I first got into still photography, so I was stoked when I got a call from Phil asking if I wanted to go shoot with him at CBMK last week. Z Roy came along as well and we pretty much had the whole park to ourselves for the night. I haven’t been to this park in about 4 years, but not much has changed, and it’s still one of my favourite winter spots in the GTA.

Z Roy with an Ollie from the Upper Flat into the Mini-Half
Z Roy with...I guess a Nosegrind up, 5-0 down?
Phil with a lofty switch kickflip
B-Roll Weapon of Choice...$5 from an antique store and it has a hot shoe!
Z Roy again, with the 50mm instead of the 15mm
My favourite photo from the night, cropped square so it's Instagram-ready 
I also decided to warm up the motor drive and try out a couple sequences. Z Roy’s finished up a bit sketchy, as every other attempt I’d had to duck under his board flying out of the mini-half…so I was a little uneasy…but I assure you it was a land.
You already know.
Sometimes 1 frame just isn't enough.
...or one angle...
It felt really good to get back to my roots and shoot some quality skateboarding with old friends, I’m really looking forward to skating street in the coming months!
