Nostalgia pt. 5, 6, 7 and 8

So, I originally wanted these posts to go one day after another, but shit happens. So here's the rest of the Orbit video from 2004: Sticks and Stones from the friends section through to Jay, JF, Marc, Chris and myself, including the outro. Enjoy!



Friends! That's right, Chris Cole is our friend! Kidding, but he is actually a really nice dude. Other than that we have a couple of hombres in there that are pretty heavy hitting now that we are still skating 6 years later; Antoine Asselin, Josh Clark and Will Marshall. Tim Bingley with the fierce enders during/after his disappearance to Peterborough for a long minute and other notables such as, Floyd O'Byrne, Rene Tessier, Pat Leblanc, Blair Martell, Danny O'brien, Pat Massie, and Pierre Tyo (who did every one of his tricks in about 10 minutes)



Hey Jason, I still have that "Show Up" video from like '02 or '03 on VHS in a box of old skate stuff. I should upload it just for shits! Kidding... maybe not. I kinda want to watch this now. And yeah JF rips!



Marc and Chris. For a minute these two were completely inseperable. Marc is probably my favorite skateboarder of all time. Been watching him since I started skating back in 2000 doing shit like double flip bacon grabs and skating wheel huggers with a completely blown out board with chips and cracks, to gracefully skating with grown man style and power.
Chartrand used to hate me, but everyone always warms up to me eventually (that's right Chris I'm calling you out on this! don't hate me for it.)
Big ups to Marc and Chris! Keep skating and don't do fat chicks!



Then there is me. I don't want to talk about myself too much because this blog right here is pretty embarrassing for how much I beam my shit. I could probably just tuck everything away and keep it for myself! but one thing I'd like to say about this part is that it is in fact my most favorable part in a more favorable time in my life. Plus I wasn't getting stupid with the long hair and sweat bands just yet.

I need to skate rails again... It's been a couple years.



That wraps up Sticks & Stones! maybe now I'll go back to posting random 50mm focal length, available light photos, Or I could post the video we made in 2005. ...or both.
