WHAT A WEEKEND!

Dominion spiral on Saturday night. 8 riders. A left spiral, 10 levels, 5 complete turns. Steep. Fast. Old pavement. We got kicked out after 7 runs, which is not too bad considering the reputation of Ottawa police. We had the best kick around in a long time, there were probably 20 of us by then, we just created the Ottawa board meeting. Had the chance to go down the Parliament hill, a sweet "hiden" spot with a huge carpark at the bottom, the best run out ever. We went back to the spiral and the 20 of us ran to the elevator and started going down. We all had a big surprise when we saw a police car on one of the level. They didn't do anything, but a local guy hit the concrete wall, going pretty fast. Here is a video of the spiral (not from that night though): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VZvspR3EEg

DH at the Gats was on the next day. We didn't sleep that much, were happy with the time change taht gave us an extra hour of sleep. All the roads of that national park were closed so we walked up the hills we went down during the day. Exhausting, but so rewarding. It was relaly "roots", everyone was just so stoked to be skateboardin in November. It was probably 4 or 5°C, we were happy to be wearing leathers and full face. Some boys experienced riding over ice (a funny thing to see) and were pretty sucessful in their tentatives! We ended the day at the "Erabliere Hairpins", giving everything we had left to those 4 180° hairpins. Good fun, awesome stand up drifting from the Toronto boys. Prices were drawn amongst all the participants. It was not a day of who would the fastest, it was just a day of who would have the most fun. Epic. See the photos by Christian Rompré (the organizer, 17 y.o. awesome kid!).

How many sessions can we fit in before the snow invades us? That's the question.
