After a very long winter…….Ahhhh

: Slocan. Session 1.

Off the Beaten Path Skatepark – Slocan BC.

At night the skaters go away and all that is left is concrete and the sound of the breeze down the valley. The Slocan Valley in British Columbia, Canada is a pretty majestic place. The Vahalla Mountain Range towers above; its got a massive lake with crystal clear water; and a river that spills from it that runs warm. There are only a few hundred people that live here. It is real low key. You can pretty much camp anywhere and nobody cares. Plus there are no cops within 45 km to hassle you. There isn’t that much to skate in this part of BC, but its got one of the better bowls in British Columbia. If I ever write a book on skateparks to session, which I might, this off the beaten track place will be included. If fate brings you to these parts, this is a must hit.

Overview of the bowl. Night image 15 sec exposure. No lights.

Some bowls have it and some don't. This one has it. Smooth and lots and lots of lines.

Go Skate

Just get out and skate. In my mind this pretty much captures the essence of it all.

Tucked in the BC Interior is this bowl – Slocan. By far the best thing around of its kind. We had an insane session last weekend. Wish I had more photos of everybody ripping. I’m sure everybody is still riding the session’s high. Funny how skating does that.

Frontside rocks come and go. Glad to have them back.
