The Gnar Side of the Tracks contest was yesterday at Railside skatepark in Port Coquitlam. It was pouring rain the night before, so everyone was iffy on it, but in the morning it was all sunny and awesome outside. I went with my roommate Jason and Adam Hopkins, we were a little late thanks to Sunday bus hours... but we eventually made it.
We encountered the funniest bus driver ever on the way, he was using his megaphone thing to make bird sounds, and was talking about strawberries to this little boy and made him cry. One of those "you had to be there" moments.
Lots of people showed up to the contest. Shaw TV came out to film too. It started out with the little guys then moved up to the advanced level... everyone ripped! I was shooting photos as usual... it was hard though because the park is so big, everyone flew around in their runs, I had to switch lenses a million times depending on what they were skating, the sun kept going behind clouds so I had to change camera settings for every obstacle, and I didn't have a clue what tricks they were going to do... so it was all guessing game for me.
It's 9:30am right now, and I haven't gone to bed yet... been editing and uploading these photos for you guys, hopefully you like them:

-hover them to see the rider name/trick name (if i remembered their name)
