Last Few Days in Vancouver

The lake we drank beer on LakeWithSam

The last few days in Vancouver have been awesome time. I got to skate Capital Hill, skate a bowl park in New West and chill on a lake with a few friends.

Sam, James and I headed up towards Capital Hill to do some longboarding. I was pretty nervous as these guys are amazing skaters and I am just a guy that has a longboard in Ontario! It is a little steeper out here. The hill was sweet though through suburbia and really long. It was not that fast so it was pretty fun. Sliding and messing around. After we went back to Jame's place for a BBQ. He made a sweet salad made from everything out of his garden. At the BBQ Sam help me make a new board. We cut an old street deck into a sweet Dingy style board. It is going be awesome to rip to the bar on! And we made it our selves which makes it pretty rad!

The next day we skated a bowl park in New West. The park was awesome. They made the bowls backwards so it was pretty chill and really flowy. I had a few pretty hard falls. Sam even called one when he said "I feel going around that corner before" right as I go flying off and the board soared into the air 30 feet.

Yesterday Sam, Courtney and I headed to a lake with a 4 man raft to chill in the sun and drink beer and do some swimming. And we did that. We drank all day and baked in the sun. It was a great time. After Sam and I headed to the Pacific National Exhibition (PNE). It was awesome. We got to ride a super old wooden roller coaster. The thing was so shaky but fun. We cruised around the PNE for the rest of the night riding rides and checking out the sites.
