Peace…comes within the souls of men when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the Universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that this center is really everywhere. It is within each of us.
Black Elk

Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a polluted mind, suffering will follow you, as the wheels of an oxcart follow the footsteps of the ox….If you speak and act with a pure mind, happiness will follow you, as a shadow clings to a form.
Buddha, Dhammapada

In the mid 90’s i looked up to all the NY pro skaters in a huge way!
They had attitude, the illest steez, and skated street in a different way!
Never would i have thought that one day i would work with some of them!
I saw this old photo of me riding a BICI pro deck!
Brings back old memories of an amzing period in skateboarding!

Merry X-mas and Happy New year…
2008 is gonna be a big year!

Wow Jon G has really been diggin!
this is a classic True skateboards ad!
Look at Tyler Maher! what is he 12?

Fall 2000…
Skating with Mark Appleyard, Jai Ball, Pakora(photo), Jamie Johnny and some locals in Oakville.
We roll up to this 10 stair rail and post up… Mark starts K grinding it like butter and
Jon G outta nowhere starts bustin’ out these dope frontside noseslides…
On Jon’s 5th try, some idiot had waxed the rail without Jon G’s knowledge…
Sure enough on his next attempt, Jon G got served a spinal-wedgie-faceplant sandwich!
Jon G has been hurt ever since that day and through the years of skating, snowboarding and snowmobiling his body had taken a toll
Finally after 5 years, he saw a doctor, which resulted in his recent spine surgery…
Below is a picture before we started skating the rail that day, as well as the present day screws in Jon G’s neck…
Its unfortunate that Jon G has taken a hiatus from skating and snowboarding…
He was a natural ripper since day 1!
