Wow, this amazing! So many shredders, and so many people reappearing!!!

Jack Lentz!!! Jarrett!!! This is fucking rad!

And the hoodies look wonderful, I can't wait to cuddle up in one beside a hot crackling midnight fire!

On the downside, I'll be lucky if I can even play at this!

I've got some brutally painful shin splints on my left due to The Board Meeting (foot-braking downhill amongst hundreds of skaters/longboarders on a board not meant for downhill... yay). Nothing will stop me from being there, but I'll just have to take it easy. Which sucks my ass.

And workshops and everything! Jeez!

I'm so happy you are all coming.

Oh Crap...While doing some "in the hall at school shred", (not warmed up being key) I did a swirl, and accidentally smacked my foot on the ground (going for pdx whirling swirl...) and now I can't crank with my right ankle.

I can do toe play fine, no pain at all, but it hurts even when I think about cranking my ankle...

So, I'm gonna go easy on it for the next few days, and likely not even try playing tomorrow.

Worst case scenario = You'll see alot of pixies atomics quantums eggbeaters and DLO's...

Which also brings me to my next point, I got my new Gunits today, mesh camo. Such a temptation to play with them....Growl.

YAY for the huge turnout of people! Thanks Tom!

DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS:

- Approaching from east OR west on the QEW (I assume people can find themselves to this point, if not, mapquest it)
- Exit at BRONTE ROAD and go NORTH
- Take Bronte Road up to UPPER MIDDLE Rd and turn LEFT
- This will take you directly to the front gates of the campground where the person who made the reservation must hop out and do some paperwork before heading to your site

Arrive anytime Friday, there will be fun and shred and stuff awaiting you!

The event site is at a slightly different location, I will give driving directions for that in person.

Actually, I will post them just incase.

- (from the campsite) go back down to the QEW, take onramp WEST
- Get off at the next exit called BURLOAK Dr and go NORTH
- This will take you to the Bronte Creek Provincial Park day use area on the right.

See you all in a few days!

I don't know if we'll have time to have more pages in this thread than the worlds thread but we should try. . .

oh and I'm still really excited for this. I've only met/know about 6 people going to this. So yeah it'll be a lot of fun.

you got everything planned for this man?

do you even have a tent?

Darkshredder · Post by **Darkshredder** » 12 Sep 2007 11:38

well I'm currently stationed at Ben Roscoe's campsite. I'm guessing that when all is said and done it doesn't really matter where people stay ultimately as long as the payments are made and everyone has somewhere to be at. That being said, I was kind of hoping I could crash in someone's tent at the Roscoe plantation but if you me and __(it's open)__ are going to share now then yeah. I've got a tent. And I'll be getting it when I get into syracuse before I pick you up.

EDIT: does anyone have space still left in their campsite after the 15th? Just need a total of two open spots on Saturday night between the lot of us.

thanks

You can take me off the confirmed list. It turns out travelling to and from Oakville for me is way more difficult than I had originally expected

Have fun everyone!

1 day!

is anyone going to be bringing an extra pair of footbag shoes siz 10.5-11.5? im afraid mine are going to die this weekend. i was unfortunatly forced to do a 5 mile run in them and thats when it happened. you know the crack that form across the underpart of the shoe. yea, that one. well, its almost all the way across now. I'm sure i could still play but it would just be wierd. i'll be willing to buy the shoes if your looking to sell them. or if anyone has some i can just borrow then that'd be cool. I was going to order some but by the time i came to the conclusion that i needed a new pair it was already too late and they wouldnt have been shipped in time for wakahakee.

Pat, are your quantums still alive?

thanks guys.

Ben, there's an Adidas outlet close to Oakville that sells lavers. I believe they are about 60cad including tax? Let's see Tom or Chad confirm me on this.

If you need new lavers, they shouldn't be hard to acquire.

Darkshredder · Post by **Darkshredder** » 13 Sep 2007 07:37

^ ^ that's a plan, Ben. But if you need some shoes

I've got quite a few workable shoes. 10.5. I've got a pair of black lavers I resurrected that work okay if you can get the laces to stay tied. I've got the quantums that are falling apart but still work. You seemed to play alright in them at the fair that one night. And I also have my old green/black ones that I just sent off on the "don't use" list. They're still fine as long as a tube of shoe goo is handy. Which it will be.

oh and ben. . bring your camera. If you can.

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 13 Sep 2007 08:01

Both of those plans work. Pat, you should probably bring some just in case, and we can grab him some new ones if he feels like it anyways.

Man, oh man. Things are coming together great!

Fun fun fun is ahead!

WAKAHAKEE IS TOMORROW!!!!!

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 13 Sep 2007 10:00

yea i think im gunna snag some new ones anyway. but i'll have to get some canadian money while im there because i dont want to lose money.

sounds great!

mc · Post by mc » 13 Sep 2007 10:31

thanks tom. can't wait!

Darkshredder · Post by **Darkshredder** » 13 Sep 2007 10:33

huzzah for the sun! I almost answered "spinning" to a question in class today because I was thinking of whirlwind and it was on the tip of my tongue. But I was interrupted anyway so I didn't have to answer.

see what this jam is doing to me!!!!

CautionFragile · Post by **CautionFragile** » 13 Sep 2007 11:04

I will be bringing an extra pair of Lavers - 10.5 to the camp.
I would need them back after but you're more than welcome to use em if you get stuck
