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!
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.
We’re starting our Quebec City/Montreal/Ottawa tour tomorrow and have made a small change to one of the shop locations. On Friday, June 25 we’ll be meeting at Laferte’s location at 1513 Rue Laviolette in Trois Rivieres instead of the 6865 location. You can check out the previous post with all of the contact information, it’s been fully updated. Time to hit the road!
The next trip in our 2010 Summer Tour is set to kick off next week in Quebec City and we’re stoked to have some of the Animal crew along for the ride. We had to make a couple of changes to the original schedule but it’s still going to be a great time. We’re going to be hitting up some more shops, hanging out with the locals and riding as much as we can. Get all of the fine details, including the stacked list of riders and contact info for these great shops, after the jump. Be sure to watch the Ten Pack Twitter account for up-to-the-minute details with where we are and what we’re doing. See everyone soon!
Here’s the wrap up video from the Toronto tour. Just to clarify a few things, ‘The Fifth’ that a few of the guys talk about is some crazy club that we somehow got into thanks to a friend of mine (one with a dress code that we definitely did not come close to meeting); Andy isn’t actually that negative at all, we just joked about it the entire time because he always looks mad, it was his idea to do a ‘Top 5 Worst’ from the trip (there wasn’t 7 dudes in the hotel either). Anything else you’re curious about, just search it. Thanks again to everyone!
The last day of the trip was pretty stacked, we covered a lot of ground and got a lot of riding done. Our first stop was The Cyclepath in Brampton where we rode a park with the locals for a bit and hung out at the shop. Then we hit the road and got to Up Your Bike in Georgetown and were greeted by a group of locals. We hung out for a while and rode their favourite spot and got a bunch of clips. The last stop of the day was Jibs Action Sports in Burlington and it was wild. We showed up at the shop to around 100 or so kids that were stoked. Mark had been putting on jams all day, there was such a good vibe and the kids took us on a tour of the city and we rode some amazing spots, including the rail that Andy Roode is sliding in the picture above.
Thanks to everyone at The Cyclepath, Up Your Bike and Jibs for some good times. Check out a bunch of photos after the jump, digi-cam edit will be up later. The Summer Tour hits Quebec City, Montreal and Ottawa starting next week, watch out for more info soon!
We wrapped up the tour today with a chill session at the Ashbridges park near my house before everyone left town. The tour was great and we all had a blast and want to thank all of the shops and all of the kids who came to hang out with us and show us around their hometowns. I have a bunch of photos and digi-cam videos from the last bit and will be putting everything up bit by bit as I get it all edited and sorted, so here’s the first batch of photos from Day 1, including the above photo of Dillon Lloyd cranking a turndown at an amazing spot in Mississauga. Check them out after the jump, enjoy!
Things have been pretty crazy here during the Toronto trip but I wanted to get a quick update in before we head out today to hit some more shops. Friday was a great day, we hit up The Bike Zone in Mississauga, hung out for a bit and then had tour of some great street spots from the locals. The photo of Greg Flag above is from the last spot we hit before we left, so good! Our new boy Phil took himself out pretty hard at one of the first spots we hit and was out of commission for the rest of the day.
We headed back into Toronto and had a rad BBQ session at Core with a bunch of the locals and then headed to a nearby school and had an amazing session into the night. A few of us partook in some late night festivities to round out the day.
Everyone has been killing it and yesterday the weather held out well enough for the ICC jam to go down and hopefully today it does the same. I’m going to be posting more photos and some videos real soon, so check back!
Last night everyone rolled into town we’re getting ready to hit some shops and street spots today to start our 2010 Summer Tour. The weather is looking like it might not cooperate for tomorrow’s ICC Street Jam (above photo from last year’s jam) so we wanted to make sure everyone had an idea of what was going to happen. The jam is scheduled to start at 2:00PM tomorrow and if it’s pouring rain and looks like it’s going to be a complete write-off, the Ten Pack crew will be heading to Joyride 150 skatepark in Markham to beat the weather.
We’ll be keeping our fingers crossed, but you know, always have to have a plan B! Check the Toronto schedule to see where and when we’ll be around today and come out to see us! There’ll be some photo and video updates tonight most likely, check back!
