I am jacking Jennifer's column! Which staff member is responsible for this quote?
"This fucker's way more fun than Dylan."
Email me the correct answer and win some cool prize courtesy of Habitat skateboards. Dylan, if your out there you are invited to participate as well.
In Montreal at South Parc, Jean-Sébastien Lapierre of Notre Dame QC showed the rest how it's done and took the $8000. The largest prize money ever handed out at a Canadian amateur skate contest. To make the finals in Montreal, skaters had to go through a rigorous qualifying process at one of seven Regional Qualifiers across Canada.
“This contest series showed a refreshing look at how diverse Canadian skateboarders really are.” says Trevn Sharp, DC Canada Skate Team Manager.
DC Nationals is Canada’s only nationwide skateboarding contest. It also boasts the largest contest cash purse for Canadian amateur skateboarders at $20,000.Start training for next year!

Underworld consistently does and amazing job supporting and pushing skateboarding across Canada. This years Bring It To the Streets was no exeption. Packing 30 skaters into bus and hitting the streets, you know good stuff was bound to go down. Check the video for proof.

Here is a photo of Jen's favourite skateboarder she has been passing around.
Yeah Color Magazine is always on the streets. Our shaky vidygraffer was out at he Damn Am and shot this footage. He showed up late looking to film the finals. Well being Vancouver it rained and they weren't able to run a finals. Check the footage. embed>
I know its a little late, I have a job and didn't have the time to get this done sooner. Excuse the extremely shakey footage but check out the ripping Fourstar demo from Vancouver.
I have a new favourite skateboarder. Curren Caples! Check the photo below. He is also featured in our latest issue 6.3 in the Like Kids In A Candy Store feature on some of the new Flip ams.colormagazine.ca/print/feature/view/flip-ams
