Canada is trying to take over skating, and if it means more videos like this one, we’re with it. Our neighbors to the north are continuing to gain some spotlight (and sunshine for their pale souls) with their baggy styles and crusty spots.
We got this submission in our inbox on a random weekday, and I took some time to watch it on my lunch break. I cracked up in between bites of my sandwich, appreciating the middle school antics that made me want to ditch work and meet up with my friends who are also bad at skating, but good at goofing off.
The skating in this vid isn’t setting any “Highest, Longest, Most” records or going viral, but the braindead hijinks and occasional Jackass-ery round it out. There’s enough pent up teenage angst to make it fun without being totally destructive.

You just hated on like 50% of skateboarding including the classic parts of Triple OG legends. Everyone knows you can’t skate, so feel free to keep hating in an attempt to compensate for your lack of skill and cultural awareness.
