Well, I’ve been writing, writing, and writing, working on 2 new albums.

That’s right I’m going to be doing a full rock record, and a full hip hop record.  This is something I’ve wanted to do for years, and I feel it’s time to go for it. The first one will be released in early Spring 2010.

 I just moved back to my home town in Pickering so that’s been really inspirational to be in the old stomping ground.

I sweated my face off until it looked like I just went swimming on stage last night.  Dudes were crowd surfing which was rad, it was at this camp in the woods in the middle of nowhere. Good times!!!

I’m in the car right now as I write this, and Thank God for Air Conditioning!!!  For those of you who don’t live in America I just ate at Chic-Filet which is a rad restaurant only in the U.S.  they are only open 6 days a week, closed on Sunday's..

I stopped at the gas station and had to skate for a minute, I landed a 360 Flip and a hard flip.  Yeah I still got skills… until I fell. LOLOL

Alright family, thanks for reading and listening to me. Enjoy your summer!!!

Rock on

Hey family
 
Just got back from the U.K, awesome tour. Scotland was tricky trying to understand the accents. DJ Kubiks was backing me up on the turntables and U.K b-boy Pole was break dancing.  London is rad, so many people and the skate park was sick!!!
 
 I've uploaded a video of the tour on youtube. Check it out here:

So the Decatur show and school assembly was killer!!! We had Tim Byrne freestyle skating, Outcast Bmx team and Dave from Reliance Skateboards. So chill, so dope, we rocked the show!!!!

After 15 years of skateboarding I finally almost learned how to Air Walk!!!! So close.....

When I land it ill film it and send the clip.

The show tonight was crazy. Everyone was dancing. A little welcome to Detroit and the party is off. Me and the Translator Thomas had some fun jokes on stage.

I almost thew up during Steppin Out because of too much pizza.

We got two more shows and then back to Canada.

Danish people are super polite and I've enjoyed the culture.

Played two shows total today so I'm pretty tired and gonna crash.

2009 is going to be super busy, February I'm going to start writing for the next album!!!

Tonight we played a show at a boarding school. Which are very different from North American boardings schools. Its like a mini community on campus.  Guys and girls chasing each other around, but keeping it chill.

When I performed 4321 the place freaked out until the power dropped. I started to freestyle and get people to clap until it came back on.

Impossible and So Beautiful went awesome too with the music videos bumping. I got to skateboard in freezing cold weather but it was worth every second.

Danish Danishes are amazing!!! if i eat anymore white bread i'm going to turn into the dough boy...

I've posted some pics online.. Enjoy>>>

I'm a little late writing this blog, so busy with Christmas and New Years.

i flew into Virginia to get ready for the show in Virginia, it was a youth conference of like 800-900 kids.  the awesome thing was it was in a hotel we played and the music pounded in that room.  There was people from Canada, and all over the U.S that had flown in or taken a 13 hour bus ride.  Thanks for rocking out.. i had my buddy Sonz1 there break dancing, the stage was a little small for but he still ripped it.  hope nobody got kicked in the face.... also to all the people that learned how to break dance, you guy's did good...

I went snowboarding yesterday in Ontario, it was awesome... i still like skateboarding better though.. :) 

i fly to Denmark for 2 weeks with Melanie & Dyzee, should be dope... gonna eat some danish pastries..i'll post pics soon
