Now here is something original- Underworld, Emerica, and Altamont are taking part in a different kind of best trick contest. Meet at 1pm at the Plaza and the shuttle will take you and the media from spot to spot, pub crawl style. There is a max of thirty skaters allowed in, so don’t sleep on entering!

Starts around noon. Seylynn bowl 30th birthday party. Come have some beers and go real fast. I haven’t figured out how to embed video yet but check this link out http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=zYHp1dUoO9c

We’ve added another bro to the list of bros who’ll be loading into a van on Thursday and bro-ing through BC…

Hey, did you know that Connor who’s been in a bunch of the Skate Sundays clips has a blog and that his first post has Goro from Mortal Kombat doing some dude with a boner? It’s all pretty random, and since we have a no nudity policy I can’t even share that image with you here. I can, however, show you this new Skate SUndays clip that I leeched from his site:

I dont think that there is a spot left in vancouver that still runs the dollar price tag for a slice of pizza.
Its a shame. being able to by 3 slices and a pop for four bucks out the door was the best. anyway
instead of dwelling on the past I want to say that 2001 flavours(name of the place) on the corner of seymour and pender Is (in my opinion) the best pizza in the city. Especially there all mushroom pizza. make sure you go to the one right on the north east corner. NOT THE ONE BESIDE IT! That place is shiesty. when pizza 2001 was charging 95 cents a slice (so IT was a loonie after tax) the place next door would have 2 signs one that they would put out while 2001 was open that had like 87 cents a slice coming to like 95cents after tax, but they wouldent give you your nickle back unless you asked for it! and the other that they would put out after 2001 would close that charged 97 cents. one night I went in there starving and 2001 was closed and all I had was a dollar in pennies nickles and dimes. The dude wouldnt take it! He refused to sell me pizza! next day Glen at 2001 took my same nickles and dimes dollar happily and slid me hot mushroom slice.

my little brother used to be really good at skateboarding.

A NEW NIGHT FEATURING VANCOUVER’S BEST UP & COMING DJ’S

I think this is the first Youtube clip of the festivities… we’ll post more as they come in:

Hundreds of millions of people around the world can’t be wrong… Soccer is great, but even better than just watching soccer is watching Euro Cup or the World Cup on Commercial drive. Love ‘em or hate ‘em… most nationalities are a lot different than others (vocally usually…) On Commercial, I’ve seen near punch ups, yelled at the Portuguese, and cried in my caffe au lait…all in one day. Top that!

The final is on Sunday, and if you feel like watching a spectacle… go check it!

I bet you can guess that Turkey just scored, cause the German’s are NOT looking happy…

I’m not gonna sugar coat it, times are tough! However great this city may be, it has always been an expensive one to live in. I have personally always justified that by weighing out the cost against all of the totally epic things that you find throughout this site and am still happy to call Vancouver home. Gas prices i can handle by getting on my bike, powerslider or just by hoofing it… but how do i beat the raised rent without moving in to a two story cardboard refrigerator box?… one small step at a time…I am gonna let you in on a little money saving secret for around the apartment. So like me, you have been working up a sweat by moving around the city in every other way than driving and it is time to do your sock laundry. Forget digging though your jeans and jackets for valuable spare loonies and head to office depot for a box of cubicle worthy coffee stir sticks (a box of 500 will run you about $2). make sure to get the ones with two separate tubes. First things first, close the laundry room door behind you fool! You don’t want the soop to see this. These little fellas are roughly the same width as a loonie…… see where I’m going here? Take the stir stick and insert into the loonie slot in a downward motion while slowly pushing in the slider with the other hand. As the slider moves in drop the stick closer to a horizontal position and continue pushing in ( note: it may take you a few tries to get the proper positioning and sticks tend to get ruined after few attempts so be sure to pack a few on your first run at this) You’ll know it when you get it! The slider will go the distance but make sure to keep a firm grasp on it as these machines can be grabby. last thing you want is to cause a jam up and ruin this little gem before you get to reap the rewards. knawmean!? Pull the slider out while holding and pulling the stir stick with the opposite hand and wait to hear the sweet sound of cascading laundry water! you did it chief! Now go spend that extra loot on the sweet things in life like a sixer of Miller High Life. Oh yeah, one more thing! Clean up the evidence!
