SLAG TOUR 2009: Recap of Day 3 + 4: We love Canada!

Day 2 after picking up Fred Luyet from the airport we stopped in Bellingham and skated the park there before we hit the boarder to Vancouver.

We drove up a little late, I (Nancy) got everyone pulled into immigration for like a 30 min detour (long story), before we could head to Van. Michelle let us crash at her house. We were greeted by Will + cats. We packed all of us on the floor.

Day 3
We woke up and hit the Plaza at 10:30 am!

We met up with Tamara Drybrough (who's been skating the contest circuit all summer long, fresh from the X-games!) and Beth Nenninger (who took one for the team on the West Coast Tour - she messed her knee up). Some pictures by Sydney Goldberg of Tamara roaring through some steps working on her nollie flips and then eventually sticking it! Photos of Fred's long arm and her eating ice cream. We also met up with Caroline and Katrina + friend who rode with us over to Strathcona.

Rolled up to Strathcona where our hostess Michelle, and Majestic Unicorns (Rhiananon, Natalie, and Erika!) + a host of other gals like Rose, Shara + Lauren, Kim were waiting for us.

Clinics were so fun! We had tons of kids rolling around.
Thanks Walrus (Sam), Nikita, DVS, and Concrete Wave for throwing down on some product for the clinic!

Later came back to Dear and Yonder premier @ Antisocial, with Tony X's band Needles + Pins!
Amazing turnout! Michelle slaved away all day making some pretty amazing vegan kabobs.

We love Vancouver! Tons of great people at the movie premier like local music prodigy Tyler Fedchuk.

We love Vancouver, Michelle, Anitsocial, Majestic Unicorns, and all the girls + guys that have been stoked on the Winnipeg or Bust (WoB)! The skate scene in Van is awesome!
