20 years later... still rollin' around

I love spending lunchtime at this place... in all types of weather.

 Just before lunchtime my phone rings, its Brad...
 Mr. McGinn is always up for a lunchtime session, even in the middle of winter with the ground coverer in snow.
 He tells me that he spent 3 lunchtime sessions diggin' out the bowl... and now, it was ready to be shredded.

backside tail or dropping in?

Ok! I'll be there in 10 minutes!
 - as I got my dog and gear ready, all I can think about was his dedication to the juice. Because while all his co workers where taking their one hour lunch break, stuffing themselves, Brad was hitting the hoof with a shovel, digging snow and heading back to work. All done,so that he could come back in a few days, and have his lunchtime face stuffing of gnar.

Once I got there.
 I could not believe, that the bowl was bone dry, because of rad brad's dedication.

When you get the juice flowing, you don't feel cold - Brad floats a tuck knee


Peep this fs tuck knee! TRUE CANUCK STYLE!

These are a few pics of a few lunchtime sessions of the last couple of months.
The funnest sesh was this last one, there was snow everywhere, but the bowl was dry and the juice flow kept us warm.

WHO IS COLD JUICE

Vanderhoof Skatepark but the locals call it, Da Hoof!

Built in 2004, Da Hoof is the absolute best transition found anywhere in Ontario. This bowl is perfect. The City of Toronto assembled a skatepark building dream team to build this bowl. Who was called to build this perfect skatepark?
Eric Munier - undisputed master of concrete.
Jim Barnum - design god.
These two are the best of the best, Toronto wanted one thing from these guys – simple – a “world class” skatepark. A park that would stand out on the world stage, that would be the envy of skaters everywhere else. It is pretty much all transition at the hoof, there is a small street setup - ledge, hubba, gap, funbox thingy….. nothing crazy, a good practice area for those working up to the bowl, or an area for the tech dogs to do their thing. For most, it’s all about the bowl.
One of the most inspiring things about this place is the community that has come together around it. There are four distinct generations that rip this park to shreds. There are not many things better than hanging out at the hoof on a summer day. - Hugh Newman, Skaters Inc.
Its something you gotta see for yourself!
