Canada is trying to take over skating, and if it means more videos like this one, we’re with it. Our neighbors to the north are continuing to gain some spotlight (and sunshine for their pale souls) with their baggy styles and crusty spots.
We got this submission in our inbox on a random weekday, and I took some time to watch it on my lunch break. I cracked up in between bites of my sandwich, appreciating the middle school antics that made me want to ditch work and meet up with my friends who are also bad at skating, but good at goofing off.
The skating in this vid isn’t setting any “Highest, Longest, Most” records or going viral, but the braindead hijinks and occasional Jackass-ery round it out. There’s enough pent up teenage angst to make it fun without being totally destructive.

This video had a feel similar to old Plan B era of skateboarding. I enjoyed it. Where was the plaza at 13:28 filmed at with lighted ledges? Solid skating through out.
