One day edit of Tommy Chung, AJ DeLong, Josh Silver, and the return of Mike Millar, just a few tricks filmed with a GoPro Hero Camera. Enjoy.
Matt Vigneux sent us an edit showing off his new GoPro Hero HD camera that he picked up from Shop Task. He’s collected footage over the past month or so and put together this edit featuring Dustin Weberski, Leon Basin, Keith Mew, Tommy Chung, Kyle Goss, and Todd McInerney. Thanks for putting this together Matt.

As I mentioned yesturday, Leon is currently in Montreal with Eli, Josh Silver, Tommy Chung and all the local Montrealians. I (AJ) will be here in Vancouver running the shop for the week until Leon and everyone returns Saturday. Until then, if you’d like to stay up to date with what Leon and the crew are eating you can follow them on Twitter.
You can see their most recent tweets on the left side of the blog below the search box or go to the Shop Task Twitter page. If you’re one of the few million people that use Twitter then send a message to @shoptask and say hi.
If you enjoy the updates from Twitter then let us know by leaving a comment below. If you dislike Twitter then tell us in a comment. If there’s something specific you’d like Leon to tweet about then tell him in a comment.
If you have no idea what Twitter is all about then head over to RollTogther.de for a proper explanation of Twitter from my friend Lars.
Josh Boyd recently sent us this edit. Josh is from Ottawa, where is gets pretty cold during the winter months, and the sub zero temperatures are usually accompanied with snow. But that didn’t stop him from putting together this nice little edit. Check it out.
Speaking of cold and snow, Leon is out in Montreal right now with Eli, Josh Silver, and Tommy Chung. They will be there for the week, skating, eating, and hanging with the locals. If you’d like to follow along with them on their adventure you can step on over to Shop Task’s Twitter page where Leon has embraced new technology and began tweeting!
Shop Task will be open for business as usual, as I will be running the shop until Leon returns on Saturday.
My friend Jesse Karma from Calgary just made a little edit of footage he collected this summer.
The edit features Greg Breger and Gauthier Faveyrial, who traveled from France to Calgary to visit their French friend France who’s French. Little do they know how redic their Summer is about to get partying and rolling with the RPT crew and friends, Enjoy.
- This Description was made by Jesse, but I had to step in and correct some of the gramer.
OK here is an edit from our friends in Montreal that was filmed over a month ago in the TAZ skate park. As you all must know by now, Montreal has some amazing indoor skate parks that make everyone jealous. So a group of us from Vancouver, including myself, Eli, Josh Silver and Tommy Chung are going to Visit Montreal and join the skate park party. We will be in Montreal from Jan 28 to Feb 6. I will be sure to post some picture or edits to rub it in your face and make you even more Jealous. Enjoy watching.

Everyone in Calgary got a break from the rugged winter weather this past weekend. After dealing with -30 temperatures all season, chinook clouds covered the city and warmed it up. With snow melting and above zero temperatures we were all juiced for a 2010 street session. This edit features Sean Knight, DP, JBo, Dallas Kurtz, Jesse Jost, Kaylo and France.

Here is another photo by the infamous FAT-OGROPHER Will Pursell. Will has recently updated his online photography website and you should all CLICK HERE to check it out. This photo is featuring Matt Vigneux. Since I didn’t feel like making another pointless write up, I decided to ask Matt to write a little about what he has been up to in the past few months. Enjoy.
MATT - Well I got laid off from my job in May and spent the entire month of June traveling around Ontario, flying back just in time for the Popularity Contest. Todd asked me to help out with judging this year and in talking with him since then I have taken over organizing the event for 2010, so he can skate and enjoy the weekend after years of hard work. I’ve got a few new ideas and am open to suggestions, if anyone is interested in helping with the contest please contact me.
In July I started studying Electrical Foundations and passed my apprenticeship exam a couple weeks ago. I am now working on a building site for Nursing Home doing lots of wire splicing and my fingertips hurt! I am really enjoying it and am glad to have finally found an interesting career path.
Other than school I have been trying to skate and film with my new toy. The Herocam HD has recently graced my life with its presence and I’ve enjoyed the few short weeks we have spent together, you can expect some more words on it and sample edit shortly.
When I first moved to Vancouver last year I saw a job posting on Craigslist for a ‘Rollerblader’ and was hired to teach skating on TV. The show was a pretty lame reality series about pets on the Slice Network, we shot in the pouring rain, and I had to wear full pads, but at the end of the day it was nice to get paid to skate for the first time in my life. It aired this past summer but they just posted it online so enjoy (I come in at 3:56): CLICK HERE to view the show.
One last thing before I let you get on with your day… A while ago I saw a trailer for an old school documentary, it was really interesting to me because a famous mainstream documentarist David Hoffman made it way back when bladin’ had money 1997, they golden year I started to roll. There is next to no info about ‘It’s All Good’ on the internet but Amazon does sell it. Long story short its pretty awesome so I uploaded it to Vimeo, and you should all CLICK HERE to watch this.
