Justin Fabus from Brampton is welcomed to San Diego’s Vagrant Skates.. check his youtube welcome out.. also featured on lowcard etc. Pretty sweet Justin!

Every month we get dozens of sponsor me videos in the mail, email, and through facebook. Over the past 6 months, we’ve heard about Trevon Casselmanfrom Cobourg, and he’s now put his best stuff together for you to peep. It’s a no brainer to put a kid like this on the West 49 Flow Team, and he should inspire you to get a hot promo together if you’re thinking of joining our family.  His homey Ricky Gouin came along last Go Skate Day and has been a  good dude to add to the mix, contests and what not. That whole Peterborough store has the goods with long timer Coy Calver and new jack James Willis rounding it out.

If you think you’ve got a good enough promo to send in, let’s see it. Hit us on our facebook page

Our friends at SBC have just published a full feature Web Article on this trip so head there to check it out at  SBCSkateboard.com!

Enjoy the Montage, and check out a few behind the scenes snaps and stories  from our journey that we found in our iPhoto.

Fresh off the plane we showed up to meet the Element team at the Coquitlam West 49 where Appleyard was stoking kids by the hundreds with a simple signature or two.

Lookie who it is in the background, almighty Hashbrown! He’s shut down many spots out there apparently, makes it tough to get work done when he’s run up in every area of BC! Yeah Mike.. nice to finally meet you in MTL.

Every day is a new 24, and Tom’s not sure where to skate, let alone where to live. I think he’s got the Van City bug, so Calgary love him while he’s there!

Tom has this trick too well, but was one try away from a long roll away, so we used the clip anyway when security was on his back and he still rolled a bit, earned it though.

Perhaps our most productive day was championed by Shawn Beaupre from Langley. He is killing it at the tech game and brought us by the still waters in White Rock to get some sun and a steezy clip or two.

Bummer of the day comes about when we show up at the Brittania beach ramp site and theres nothing to be found but seizure notices and trespass warnings. Why can’t we live in a world without that word “liability” that haters like to hide behind. That’s the number one excuse for losers to rain on a perfect skate parade.

Squamish is that town in between Whistler and Van, and totally worth checking out because new spots are there weekly!

You also can’t go to Vancouver and not peep the grime on Hastings. That OWL drugs store is too ironic on the corner.

Perhaps one of the oldest bowls (snakeruns) in the area, Seylynn is still too fun to skate. Looks like the Sector 9 crew has been there before us shredding on tour.

No kidding its a tight fit with 7 in a van with photo gear, luggage, boards and everything else. AC blasting is key to keep the fumes from taking over.

Every city visit has it’s surprises. Alex Kotanko didn’t even know how buck he could get. Look for his acid drop in print soon!

We really saved the best til last and headed to Tofino to shoot some surf action with our homey Billabong Pro, Sepp Bruhwiler from Westside Surf. With an evening to just unwind and sort through some photos, SBC Photographer Jay Delaney makes sure theres no salsa left in the bowl for the rest of us. The more you live this life, you get hungrier for more photos and food apparently! LOL

Sepp’s been working hard at getting this shop running at full capacity and by the looks of it, he’s fully booked for lessons. Best teacher out there i’m sure, he got Keegan on some in no time. Tofino is actually like a Canadian Hawaii, it’d been a while and it was a real seller for surf culture in Canada. Sort of like a 70’s version of what Whistler must have been like before it blew right up.

Who says you can’t surf in Canada? Damn these waves get big out here Sepp was saying, 25 footers? That’s insane.

When it’s all said and done, theres one more early start to tackle, but it’s worth turning the key on the Grand Caravan when the views actually take your yawns away real quick.  Thanks for having us BC!

Time flies when you’re on the run. 2010 was just how we like it, fast and furious, gettin work done as planned. Since June we were on the road pretty much from the Martimes through to Alberta just back in time for Take the Cake.

Here’s a look at what you didn’t see in our HD monty’s, because this is the b-cut shot with iPhones, Stylus toughs and Crackberrys. A big shout goes to our whole flow family for rolling with us this year, and you know we’re back at it once this snow’s gone!
