Arnica 3 was a video that I made a couple years ago while still living in St. Catharines. It features local skaters and mainly local spots, but there is footage from all over Ontario, and a couple clips from Germany too.

This was the third skate video that I had made and I was still trying to teach myself how to edit, film, and put the whole thing together properly. There is alot of 'Bro-Cam' in it because when we would go out skating, the camera would get passed around to whoever wasn't skating.

Looking back, I see that the video turned out the way it did, because we were all concerned with skating and having a good time, more than getting clips.

We were just trying to have a fun time skating with our friends...Thats what it should be about anyways, right?

Two years in a row that the weather has been extremely nice on 4/20...



Summer is here, Get Some!

I am still having technical problems with Arnica 3, so in the meantime, here is a Sud Skates Spot Check from February '05.

So, as I am encountering some technical difficulties trying to upload Arnica 3...here is another teaser to hold you internet junkies over in the meantime...

Back In 2005, I went to Germany with my family for a vacation. I also brought my board, a camera, and luckily my cousin Emmo was down to film... We travelled to Munich, and skated smaller cities and towns as well. There was some unique stuff there, and it was an awesome trip!

During Easter Long Weekend of '05, Cory and myself took the train to Montreal to go skate. We stayed with my aunt, and at the time, the Orkus skatepark was still around and South Parc still had its original setup. Anyways, we skated indoor parks mostly, but got out to skate some street as well. It was a fun trip and we ended up with enough footage to make a little montage of our journey...

It was 2005 and 2006, The Downtown skateboards 'team' was our crew, and Arnica 3 was the name of the video we were working on. This was what I considered to be the glory days...I was in my last year of high school, I had access to a car, the crew was always down to skate, good weather...The only thing to worry about was where to skate the next day...

Arnica 3 was:
-Bad Camera
-Bad Filming
-Good Skating
-Good Friendships
-Best Times of My Life.
