Coastal Riders have generously put up $250.00 for skaters taking full advantage of GSD.

Holdom - Gap in gap out ledge.

Royal Oak - Bump to Bump

Royal Oak - Ledge/Manny Pads

There's a couple spots on the circuit that most people have never seen or skated before and Holdom Skytrain as well as Royal Oak stops are certainly in that category.  Below are some photos of the spots.

If there's a spot where not enough tricks are landed, or it rains for a bit, then that money will be saved for the end and go to the skaters who went the whole route and skated the hardest all day!

Possibly one of the smoothest lines captured, Mike Carroll's first line in his Modus Operandi part is amazing, in technical skill and style.

On those same topics, Mark Gonzales' line starting at 5:12 in his Video Days part has been a constant source of inspiration for many.

More memorable lines in the coming days.

MATIX Lord of the Lines is coming up soon, keep checking back for new info. as soon as we have it.

[ o ] Doubt - Quinn Starr Backside Tailslide at Bonsor Bowl

West 49 has jumped aboard the Go Skateboarding Day train by offering $300 for best trick/skating at stop number 7 (Bonsor Bowl Jam - 3:45pm)  If there's a spot where not enough tricks are landed, or it rains for a bit, then that money will be saved for the end and go to the skaters who went the whole route and skated the hardest all day!

West 49 also has $300 up for grabs for skaters participating in Toronto's GSD event.

Between the art showings there was skating and a lot of driving. The following photos are a few of the moments from the road, camping and hotel life.

Firing up the sausage.

Sexy gas.
