A follow up about my earlier post..

Fred & Tura finally released the last issue of Soma online for free, and have a look about my article on girls here

thanks guys!

Empire Skateshop, one of the biggest shop in Montréal, just released their new website. Eric kindly used some of my really old pictures from the talented Mike O’Meara page. click the link or the see it

Andrew McGraw is one of the most stylish Canadian i’ve ever seen, those who have seen him on a board, know what i’m talking about..

Without a doubt, it’s the main reason why Zoo York just turn him into the Proffesional rank. I’m really glad, that major skateboard company finally recognise  some Montréalers.

I guess now, Andrew gonna have decent coverage in the world of skateboarding. Like that Canadian website who used one of my picture of him without asking me before for his interview about his recent changes of team. But it’s fair, that kid deserves it so far.

I’ve always been down with the guys from Island, the local OG crew from Montréal, it’s naturally i was down with Studio Skateboards when it came up with Jai Ball behind it. They had big change in the team and officially announced their long time flow rider Joey Larocque to the amateur rank, with a lil’ commercial, check out their nice website, his profil with some pic i did with this talented kid.

If you have any chance to get one of those last issue of Color (canada), you could see that crazy picture of Jessy Jean Bart.

Another underrated skaters from Montréal, he’s sick on a board as he’s the sweetest dude i ever met.

Jessy is also one of my photo lab rat, with whom i’ve tried different ideas from my head.

That day when i took that picture of  this 50-50 of the death, i remember Jessy called me for shoot a trick he filmed few days earlier, then on the spot, a car was parked right on the run up.

As for back up plan, we’ve just decided to explore around, after some kicked-out, we end up on that bridge in Rosemont.

Then Jessy got excited “ohhhh i might have an idea, it’s been years i thought about that trick” without understanding what he meant, i just follwed him blindly
we’ve builded a cheap kicker with some rocks found around and a plywood generously given by a wood factory close of the spot. It’s just at the first attempt i’ve realized how that day could goes as sweet as really sketchy.
Jessy was going to try in first a FiveO, but i smartly tell to start by a tricks with the 2 trucks on..it would be easier to get away if something got wrong..

I think he tried a dozen of try before landing that 50-50, i remember my heart was beating really fast at each try..

That shot was so far the most risky and impressive i did till now..it was really intense, completely random and thanks it finished like a happy end.

All my props to Jessy, you really well deserved that print!
