David Tranter has informed me that TBSC has teamed up with the Elim Community Christian Centre (in Current River) to start up an indoor skatepark called “The Sanctuary”. The anticipated grand opening is early December. Stay tuned for more information, either check our blog or the Facebook fan page. The fan page imports posts from this blog as notes.
Mike Vallely is this month’s Battle Commander at the Berrics.
Check out his video http://www.theberrics.com/batcom090725.php
I bet that few pros/ams can land half of the tricks he does in this video.

The Marina Skateboard Plaza Grand Opening was fun yesterday. The weather wasn’t the greatest and it eventually rained after 2PM. There are some photos on the site now, http://tbsc.ca/gallery or http://tbsc.ca/gallery/?album=5&gallery=5
Check out the sick video posted on SBC. Footage filmed by Damien Gilbert and Chris Johnson.

I uploaded a short video taken with a Canon PowerShot SD780 camera. There’s about 2 minutes of speeches. Some pool skating by Adam Hopkins and Dakota White. Also a few tricks down the 9 set.

I added 33 photos of the Marina Park Skate Plaza to the site’s gallery page. Visit http://tbsc.ca/gallery or http://tbsc.ca/gallery/?album=4&gallery=4
I’ll be adding more photos next week. Also, don’t forget about the TBSC Apparel Contest that John started. I just checked the public FB Fan Page, right now it’s between Hopkins and Claire. It ends June 27, so get those photos in asap.
TBSC apparel is now available at 4Fourteen Skate Shop. Shirts are $15 (tax incl). Submit photos of yourself or friends wearing TBSC gear to our Facebook Fan Page. You’ll be eligible to win a 4Fourteen shop deck.
The Current River mini ramp has been taken down. Kudos to Dave Darcis, David Tranter, and other volunteers for maintaining it.
Photos of the Current River skatepark are now on the site, http://tbsc.ca/gallery/
I’ll be adding photos of the other parks soon.
