Brofiles Incident #1 – Curtis Robertson of The Shwa

Newman has been alluding to this for a few days and frankly all of us at the shop have been talking a load of crap about getting it done for a few weeks now, but Newman went out and grabbed the bull by the horns last night.
We’re going to be putting together video incidents of sometimes dubious quality, but always cool local content.   I think the video is self-explanatory.   Friends, welcome to The Brofiles.

Downtown Bowmanville…so hot right now!

Huge thanks to all the firefighters and other emergency workers who have been battling a serious blaze for about 10 hours so far today a couple doors west of us in downtown Bowmanville.   Here’s the scene when I was last there a few hours ago:
 
  These firefighters are the real deal folks: we are all lucky that they do what they do.
  The Bowmanville shop is closed today and I don’t know when we can get back open due to being smoked out and such.   Sorry for the inconvenience: we’d be extra happy to take extra good care of you at the Oshawa location.
 Special Bonus Goose Update!
The mother goose in the back parking lot in Oshawa has moved a hockey ball into her nest along with the rest of her eggs which, by the way, she is not counting until they have hatched.   Wonder what comes out of a hockey ball if you sit on it for a couple months?

Fully Flared Contest! It’s tote easy to win!

Okay, when we had this
flared
 thing out on the floor, TONS of people were all “can I have that thing?”   Some of them even said please, believe it or not.   So we’re finally going to give it away. CONTEST PART: Whomever is the first person to go to the Oshawa Alcatraz and correctly answer the skill-testing question “Do you want the cardboard Fully Flared standy-uppy thingy?” is the lucky winner and gets to take it home right away.    Good luck, my peoples.

 No, Return of The Brave Goose is not a new album on Jonas Bonnetta‘s record label!  It describes what’s going on in our back parking lot in Oshawa right now.   Last year, this mama goose and papa goose nested, hissed and hatched their way to a new family.   For sure they would never come back cuz it’s too much traffic and ag, right?  Wrong!family nest

Mind Field

Not to be confused with that Mind Freak idiot Chris Angel, Alien Workshop has a new video coming out this summer called Mind Field. Jeff says “If I had 8 thumbs they’d all be up in the air for this one”.
Here’s a link to the Super Hi-Res Crystal Clear trailer.

TJ + US + Dag = Good Times!

So…Monday was kinda foggy, really rainy, really wet.   Not a very nice day, right?   Wrong!  For those lucky enough to be at the Top Secret Schred with TJ day on Monday, it was totally epic and possibly the most fun day of the year.    Dagmar was cool enough to re-open the park  just for our little session and then open the Dagbar for the BBQ and party that happened afterward.   Capita/Union/Defcon/Deeluxe pro TJ Schneider was kind enough to join us on his way out to Shakedown in Quebec this weekend.   If a picture is worth a thousand words, you could really get bound up doing the math on the picture/words count for episode 27 of TJ Schneider’s Snowboard Realms.  Watch for things to get reallll Mad Max-y toward the end with a special guest shot by Mikey “big ole set of donuts up in this bitch” Scott. Also, look for guest appearances by PunkassSteph, the Traz snowboard team, Natalie Gough and many of Ontario’s other top riders as well as a frackin’ trick by none other than Ryan Howsam!   TJ: Thanks for coming out and thanks for the owl.
