pm'd.

rumour has it that your skate tool is the same (or similar) gauge to the nuts used on the sign.. #youdidnthearithere


also, what jefe said. ^^

I'm getting a cousin of mine, 11, stoked on the sport. Now I'm looking for a board for her.
ideally a ly spud or similar board, would entertain drop throughs. please, no top mounts.

I can take a complete, or board+trucks, or just board for a reasonable price.
anyone have some lightly used gear they're looking to offload? PM me or reply here.

I am willing to meet up around the GTA (mississauga-newmarket-pickering) or have goods shipped on my bill.

i've had a chance to put a few more up in the same album

a few of mine posted

I've tossed money to the cause. anyone looking to send money PM CHICKEN.

cops escalate force+1 (ie you throw punch, they bring out batons; you have a knife, they pull their guns..)  

looks to me like the boarder attempted to kick the officer to her right's knee in the first 20sec -
attempt assault on a police officer? you're gonna have a bad time.


it appears the responding officers used discretion in their response (notice the spit/water on the constable at the end of the video) and didn't escalate matters further - for everyone's benefit.

+1 for representing the K1000 crowd.

so sad - less than half my age.
please wear your bucket!

my sincere condolences to those closely affected.

you're right, i was mistaken - it's 60yrs of occupation for you to be able to exercise property rights
"Through extended periods of unauthorized occupation the Crown can lose its title to public
land. All right, title and interest of the Crown in public land is extinguished after an individual, through his/her and his/her predecessors have occupied public land continuously, exclusively and openly for a period of 60 years."



When you engage in acts, such as moving a vehicle from private property to the public roads, you are then consenting to being subject to the laws which encompass that activity. If you drive on a road, there is an expectation that you will be wearing a seatbelt. Should you be found not wearing your seatbelt, you may be subject to a fine. Should you ride your skateboard on the road, paid for through taxes, you are also subject to the rules of the road.

I'm not arguing for a case regarding dumb laws. I've always opined that laws should be in place with the greater good of all citizens in mind. Laws which impact the person but have no impact on others seem superfluous. Legality should not be a moral compass.

One could always move to a 'less-developed' country where the laws aren't quite as broad-reaching and developed. I know of a number of people who are happier living as surf bums and with their heads in the amazon's tree canopy.

unfortunately, hermitting also has its disadvantages.
you're welcome to hang out on crown land - property of the Queen of England, in right honour - but you have to occupy that land for a minimum of 7 years without challenge before you can claim rights to the land. I started my (professional) career 7 years ago - was my time spent wasted working for 'the man'? saving up +20% to buy land (to avoid the BS around CMHC) is the wrong way?

you can hate the 'game' all you want, but you have to accept the fact that you were born in to it.
you might as well live it to its fullest.

i, too, wish there was a way people would have a right to withhold taxes should they be doing it in the name of legal protest, but feel that is a far stretch from 'democracy'. Remember, 'democracy' is only thought to be the current correct political culture, not to say that it is.

Orwell put today's politics, and popular culture best in his novel 1984,
"WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, and IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH"   

just wait til he tries to get some car insurance with a moving violation.. in ontario, they want to teach you the lessons over, and over, and over, and over. I know of someone who was given a 'failure to yield' violation on their board, was provided the ticket in their hospital bed. just because a lesson is learned doesn't mean much in the eyes of the law, nor the insurance industry. food for thought.

i do!




BOOOOOOOOAAAAAARRRRRRD MEEEEEEEETIIIIIIIIIING!
