MISMATCH | PRESENTED BY EMPIRE
Chance Swainson – blast!
We could write a very wacky, but standard website post, something like”Chance Swanson and his friends has a blast! filming this video.” and we would probably not be wrong. But instead, we would like to say, something like “Vancouver videos have stood out not only because of the skating but also because of the music selection.” but in the end, whatever we write the end result should be that you press play because this video is really worth your while.
And with a list of skaters like:
Charlie Hodges, Dustin Henry, Tristan Henry, Ty Peterson, Cole Chalifoux, Jiyun Park, Chance Swainson, Breana Geering, Leon Chapdelaine, Tom Robinson, Kyle Nickoshie, Ben Fenton, Ryan Witt, Dylan Fulford, Tavi Gibson, Aleka Lang, Braeley Wong, Simon Richards, David Barbeau, Jo Reigel, Chen Guevara, Tremaine Glasgow, and Amadou Diallo.
You should agree!

Big tricks at Big O
You might have noticed that the banners are up, the first test runs are being made and this week it will be decided who will win the Vans Park Series stop in Paris. But first, we would like to share with you one of the best VPS best trick sessions we have ever seen.
As always the skaters went big, the money was flowing as was the beer at the Montréal landmark spot the “BIG O”!
If you don’t know the “O” Watch the Canadian episode of the loveletters if you don’t know about this landmark but either way enjoy this close up and personal view of what went down that day.
Vans Park Series – Montréal Video Recap
After the “Photo-Recap” now comes the moving image and it shows you just how things went down before & after Conny Mirbach’s postcard moments.
We learned a lot during our stay in the MTL but the number one thing is: never count out Pedro Barros and breakfast poutine is way better than regular poutine.
Vans Park Series Montréal – Best Trick At The Big O
After the party is the after-party and after that is probably the hotel lobby but in Montréal we got the after-party on the first day of the contest. “The Big O” is a legendary Canadian skate spot that was host to some serious destruction during this VPS.

You might have seen Jake Wooten blazing through it on our Instagram but trust us when we say many…many more tricks did go down during this wild onslaught in and around the Big O.
And before we spoil you with the moving images of the Park Series we figured the stills tell their very own story of what happened at this staple spot.
Check out Part One of our coverage here.
Special thanks go out to Vans for the support.
Vans “Courtesy”
Mainly Canada focused “Courtesy” delievers with a bunch of good moments and the overall feel good video you want to watch before skating. You have to watch it. At least once.
Antosh Cimoszko – Breather (Hiatus)
Antosh is a multi-talented guy that is probably getting requests from multiple brands to produce content for them.
When you do a lot you sometimes need a breather and what do filmers do for fun? They hang out with their friends and film and that is probably what happened here.

Canada keeps on taking the crown even though the weather is shit over there. The north literally has always been on top even though they weren’t for the longest. Enjoy!
Bobby De Keyzer – Riddles in Mathematics
Bobby De Keyzer’s last name means “the emperor” in Dutch and like his name requires him to do he is ruling skateboarding in his way. Meaning, his skating is amazing, the perfectly fitting music was made by a friend and Chris Thiessen’s filming and editing truly brought it all together. Probably Bobby’s best part to date!
Jake Kuzyk – Savers
The guy that made The AntiSocial video and Civic Affair now delivers this 9-minute video called “Savers”. As always everything is on point, especially the music selection.
Featuring:
Dustin Henry, Dylan Fulford, Mike Campbell, Magnus Hanson, Kevin Lowry, Andrew McGraw, Mike Vince, Will Marshall, Zander Mitchell, Justin David, Jed Anderson and many more.
Pat O’Rourke – GOOD VEEBS
Also in Canada spring is fully going on. Pat O’Rourke dusted off his old camcorder and captured the “GOOD VEEBS”.
CRAWLSPACE
Us being the skate nerds we are we tend to follow all that is going on in skateboarding and to us it has become evident that in 2016 some of the best things are coming out of Canada. The country formerly know as the uncool cousin of the USA but now the times have changed and it is safe to say that edits like this have had their effect! No longer are the Canucks just famous for their denim, their long white tees or the Red Dragons, they are now also known for their high quality skateboarding, good trick selection and consistently showing us the fun side of skateboarding (think DIME MTL). Crawlspace is not only a great title for a video project it is also simply a good video with nice music and tricks from our favorite snowboarder Jed Anderson. Enjoy!
Most Things Haven’t Worked Out – Nolan Waller
Not much going on on the European front today so we checked out what our Canadian colleagues were up to and this Nolan Waller’s part is what we found. Nolan delivers a sweet but short part featuring one of our favorites Dustin Henry the whole thing is well worth a watch.
Dustin Henry in Duluth
Any Dustin Henry footy is good footy, so when his part from the Duluth video dropped you know we had to post it.
