Tight

Well, it is twenty twhellve and we are off to a slow start.

Ian is suffering from post concussion syndrome. This sucks for so many reasons, but he is being smart by resting and letting his brain heal. With any luck, one day he will be smarter than Nick again.

Seb is in Florida. he said something about finding this guy, but he is really just chillin with grandmamere, golfing, eating buffet, going to hockey games and smoking cigars.

And, working retail makes me a total write off for the holidays. Thankfully my kids provide me with the Christmas magic. So far I have; zero days on a snowboard, one trip to southparc, one session in a garage, and two times on a snowdeck. Not exactly what I was hoping for. Not a single photo or video to back that up either.

Things are happening all around us though, good things like this tribute Antique Skateboards posted for their Ottawa 2011 Top Ten list. Aaron Cayer also edited a four part video. They pretty much choked us up. Thank you to the Vulture for all the respect and love.

So, obviously we all miss the EQ skatepark and we at EQ miss all you bastards rolling around and making noise in the back, but I don't think this was the story of the year for Ottawa. Don't get me wrong, this list was amazing and really captured our year. But personally, the big story is the strength and energy of the community as a whole. Everybody just came together regardless of what shop or crew they roll with.

Just check out the results so far for the Concrete Cover of the Year 2011 for proof.
Go vote for ricky if you haven't already!

So, lets keep up the momentum and kill twenty twhellve. Now I am going to watch this, then I am going to go skate today for the first time of the year.
