Quebec Tour: Done!

So the Quebec tour wrapped up yesterday and it was a helluva time. The last day of the tour had us stopping in at Element 51 in St. Eustache. Carl runs a dope shop and there were a bunch of kids that came out to show us around. We rode a few local parks and even put more time in on another race track, pretty sure we’re all gonna get custom jerseys soon and start our own team! The locals were stoked and everyone had a great time, thanks guys! The Animal crew headed out yesterday morning and Greg, Dill, Sean, Silva and I hit up an epic schoolyard for the afternoon and filmed a bunch of stuff then capped it all off with some Mexican food for Sean’s birthday. Thanks again to everyone on the trip; all of the shops, locals and anyone else who made it all go down. Shout outs to the Animal crew for sure, they killed it and we all had a blast together. Check out some photos after the jump, digi-cam edits coming soon!

Quebec Tour: Day 3 & 4

The last two days have been pretty wild, we’ve been everywhere from Quebec City to Trois Rivieres, Montreal and now we’re in Ottawa. On Friday we hit up Laferte in Trois Riviere (where Silva did this over-icepick) during the day and got down on a race track with the crew and then headed to Montreal to visit Marseille. We hit up a ton of spots and clocked some footy before heading to Ottawa. We got into town, visited Jose at Joe Mamma, rode some spots with the locals (thanks to Prashant for being a rad tour guide again!) and wrapped things up with a BBQ at Jose’s (pasta salad was amazing, thanks Paisley!) and a night at Zaphod’s. The festivities are still rolling as I’m posting these photos and our suite is poppin’ off! Check out a ton of photos from both days after the jump.

Quebec Tour: Day 2 Photos

Damn, that’s all I can say really. Day 2 of the tour started off a bit slow as all of us were out enjoying the St. Jean Baptiste festivities the night before and the Animal crew got in super late, not to mention the fact that the weather wasn’t on our side. Everything came together in the afternoon and as the sun came out we loaded up and rolled. There’s a ton of amazing stuff in Quebec and we sampled a lot of it. The above picture is of Dillon Lloyd riding a roof that we came across while riding from spot to spot (click to see it larger). He spun the bars first and then decided to whip it, I climbed up there with him to get a better look and it’s pretty wild. Check out more photos after the jump including Dillon’s trick of the day! Don’t forget, we’ll be in Trois Rivieres at Laferte tomorrow around 2pm and back in Montreal at Marseille around 8pm, see ya there!

Quebec Tour: Day 1 Photos

We just got into the hotel in Quebec after a solid afternoon of riding. We hit up Mathieu Performance and hung out for a while then hit up a ton of spots around the area and stacked some clips, like Greg Flag straight hopping above. The Animal crew got a bit hung up and are on their way into town right now. We’ll be riding all day tomorrow around the Quebec City area, whenever we get up from the St. Jean Baptiste festivities! Check out some more photos from the day after the jump.
