Montreal, July 1st 2009: Not sure why, but I got stuck on a rails trip as I was roaming the city this Canada Day. I’ll be frank, I wouldn’t even try quite a few of the following, but I thought I’d “document them” anyway. :)

The Taz Skatepark’s staff rolls in two quarterpipes at night to leave room for speed skating on Sunday morning. So the monthly BMX jam crew decided to give the unusual setup a try. Here’s what Charles Deschamps did with it. :)

Here’s more riding by Charles for your enjoyment.

If you’re a Montrealer, you’ll probably know most of these spots. If you’re not and happen to be in our great city, finding yourself wanting to ride them, I guess you’ll just have to ask me where they are. ;)

I never thought I’d blog about a TV show, but learning that My Name is Earl has now officially been canceled, and this despite the grass root effort to save it on Twitter (@EarlTwitition, #SaveEarl),  is really kind of bumming me out…

For once that there was a show that was “preaching” for simply being a good human being, with no pedantic or overly religious aspect… Yes, the belief in karma is indeed anchored in religion (arguably philosophy), but it was so far removed from the environment featured in the show (White Trash America) that it had no theological bearings in this context.

All in all, it’s big shame and I’m going to miss the Hickey crew.

Well, I guess it’s back to professional skateboarding for Jason Lee then. ;)

Well, I enjoyed posting Montreal BMX/skate spots pictures the other day, so here’s a fresh batch. These are some if the most obvious “drive-by” spots right on the path of my daily bike commute to/from work. :)
