consequences
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!
