Two SOTY’s lead the charge in Montreal with a stacked squad from adidas. On the agenda: two packed demos and few days to focus on the streets. Want the blueprint for a proper weekend? Get in. —Rhino
Roll call! This is gonna rule
No time to see the sights, we only have a weekend to hit all the spots. At least Lil’ Dre starts it off with a back tail on the most scenic ledge
Alec Majerus gets his back. Front blunt
The new dude on the team Riley Hawk didn’t miss a beat
And Milou hits a switch noesgrind before we get the boot…
…or hoof
All good, we got another out ledge. Felipe Gustavo brought the tech shit, 360 flip crooks
No better guide in Montreal than Big Sexy!
Gabbers and Riley reminisce on North County spots
Of course it was in a line. Mark Suciu, back noseblunt
First footy party
Over to the hubba, Frankie Spears starts heavy with nollie 5-0
Kader made it from NYC. Kickflip crooks
You know you’ve made it in Montreal when you get Big Sexy’s chains
Over to the arena rail, Mark throws a nosebluntslide
And Frankie’s up next, half-Cab 50-50
Vincent gets in the mix, switch
Keeping it going, Frankie with a nollie crook
And Alec flips into nosegrind to close out
This crew can’t stop now. Frankie gets the Bondo going for another rail
Only got a few tries. That’s all Miles needed for a backside overcrook
Frankie enjoys the fruits of his labor, frontside nosegrind
Harsh winters mean harsher ground in Montreal. The lid barely stayed on the Bondo
Riley, locked and loaded front Smith
Damn, Mark, let us see the clip!
Milou got a line too
And it’s over to the plaza to put on a show. Y’all ever see a ledge demo?
Mark starts with a back 180 switch front crook
That’s what we like to see, kids
Frankie still had some gas left for a back noseblunt
Kader’s got fans in every country
Riley gets tech, remember? Front blunt 270
Kai’s tricks were insane, and probably only translate to video. So check this stylish push instead
A beautiful crew up in Montreal!
Get your shit signed
Can’t think of a better place to see Felipe Gustavo nollie flip crook
Take notes from the next generation
Oh, hey, Mark
If Gabbers wasn’t busy signing backpacks, he would’ve destroyed those ledges. Let’s keep it moving
Mandatory stop to see our friends at Dime
We didn’t get to see the blueprints for the next Glory Challenge, but solid hang nonetheless
Back to the streets for an after-school ten stair session. Alec spins back three first T
Lil Dre, snappy fakie heel
It wasn’t even Zero Sunday, but Mark was huckin’ all weekend. Switch flip for the school kids
Class photo with a SOTY
Alright, now you gotta skate. Peace Park was supposed to be the warmup, but we stayed for three hours
What are you lookin’ at, Frankie?
Miles taking a back tail down the whole block, holy shit
Felipe flips in again. This time to front crook
Latte and an extra deck? Kai’s about to do some damage
Everyone’s clipping up today. Moving on!
Downtown Montreal, Mark takes the big steps—grind, drop, grind
Heavy kick-out at the 14 stair
Miles still went straight to business. Backside bigspin
Lil Dre, big stack, back heel
Need that Airdrop?
Then Mark had to take a quick look with some light trespassing at the Olympic stadium
Found something! Right around the corner from his 20-stair switch grind at the Glory Challenge
Dre just had to check out the legendary Big O before dark
Then Milou had to go all Greyson on it
SOTYs skate everything!
Couldn’t leave without a blunt fakie
Or a front blunt off the end
Milou speaks French, so he made friends at every stop
Hey, guys, you just worry about the skating
Lookin’ serious. What’s Gabbers got?
Our mate takes down his first hubba of the trip. Back 50-50
All that hucking got Mark sparked. Quick sunset nollie flip
Vincent floats the foot off again, no-comply down a big five
You thought Gabbers would be here and we wouldn’t get a My War?
Big crusty hubbas seem to be a theme in Montreal. Back 5-0 to earn the blood and stains
We call it Thrasher Weekend, but nobody seemed to be taking it easy! Alec hits the kink and skips to the second rail
Shocking stuff
Rain delay for the demo, so we took some time to zoom out and reflect
Game on! Connor’s on the mic
Kader floats an FSO with Miles in the front row
Vincent can surf too, you know? Layback grind
Remember the last time he skated a big ramp in Montreal? Fakie flip to remind the people
It’s never just “frontside 50-50” with this guy. Felipe Gustavo, nollie flip 5-0
Damn! Alec too with a kicky front blunt
One more time for Gabbers!
If you think about it, kickflip front lip is kinda like a shifty flip. Milou goes over the top
Front crook, down, flat, down. The kinks were calling Alec all weekend
But Mark skipped ’em. Massive gap lip while Sabbath played on the PA
Kader, coming in hot with a hardflip over the pyramid
Fatty to flatty, Vincent goes for the Reynolds with a frontside flip over the whole thing
Now who wants some product?!
Hope you’re a size 9.5!
Last chance to get your duck signed
Or your dad’s hat. Miles makes a permanent mark for the next generation. And that’s gonna be a wrap on another wild Thrasher Weekend! Thank you, Montreal!
