Canadian Creations & News

Canadian Creations: The great white north- the country which I live in, Canada- is full of wonderful and unique places and people. One of those people is Brian Jalbert. Brian is the creator of the Quebec Cup. The track race series set for the summer of 2007 will take place in Montreal. You can expect top-level skaters like Steve Robillard to be racing in the series.

Another unique Canadian is Eric Gee. I met this guy back in 1993 and I consider him one of my best life-long friends. We've been through many adventures together ranging from being teammates at the world championships to being wedding photographers (FYI- a wedding we were shooting was slated for 5pm and we arrived AT 5pm because Eric thought that that's when people got together and the wedding would just kinda start 'whenever'. Ends up we missed the walk down this aisle). We even made the drive from Toronto to Orlando for the Disney Marathon and came back pretty much in one shot, about 5000km in one weekend with maybe 4-5 hours of sleep. Well, Eric is taking up a new project: Eric Gee is making some boots. Check them out. Buy some from him when he sells them so that he could sponsor me.


The only words I have is that Eric loves the smart car...
In the News: Dan Archambeau and I shot a lot of video at the 2005 Northshore Inline Marathon. The material is sweet and has been made into a DVD- Here is the 2005 Northshore Inline Marathon DVD.

A couple of other points of interest: Skater Boy Matthew is a Star.

I wish I made my way out to this one, but I am sad to link to this: Tahiti is cancelled. On the bright side, USA Roller Sports is helping some USA events, and has put out some information ont the Palm Beach Challenge.
