Love these videos thanks for your hard works boys ❤
i use to skate there every weekend 20 years ago. Made the drive from Muskoka. Those black ledges were so slippery.
City reminds me of the Chicago loop. All the spots were capped before anyone was aloud to film there.

It was a known not to publish these spots because of how sacred they are how hard they were to skate without getting arrested or even beat. Skating the loop was always done after ours. It never got published because they wanted it that way
loving these videos
Love these videos, I’ve been calling you boys the maple syrup bros, Canadian and cooler version of dern bros😂 Can’t wait to see this years go skate day footage, happy go skate day!

Not sure if I missed it in the video. I fee like Morgan did switch big heel and/or nollie big heel. Also, one of the curved ledges had metal bars popping out of the cracks which was a fun little bonk grind. Not sure if its still there.
Another good one!
