On the west coast of Canada, we are more than fortunate to have a wide variety of A class concrete parks at our disposal. Here, we pay homage to one of our favourites Metro Towns, Bonsor Skatepark. Often during the summer, we’ll find ourselves having a chill session with a few good homies.
As many riders have come and gone from the ever evolving Ghetto saga, Mansion to Manor to infinity… A few OG dudes are still holding it down in Kerrisdale. Soak some ocular ghettoness through your eyeballs and check these dudes out!
In July, eight of us took a trip to explore the open skies and amazing concrete parks of Montana. It was a trip I’d been wanting to make for years, and I was fortunate to share it with some of the best riders in Canada. Legendary Alaskan David Clay also jumped on the trip three days before it started (“I just bought some guns, but I think I can drop $500 on a plane ticket”). We came home with a ton of content and decided to put together a micro-site dedicated to our adventure. We hope to give you a sense of the people we met and places we visited along the way.
We’ll be releasing the site in four parts on Sundays and Wednesdays over the next two weeks. It will have a permanent home here. First up is a gallery of photos from Mat Ridgeway’s disposable camera, along with some of the stories that accompany them.

Igloo Sesh with Matt Ridgeway, Matt Desson, Luke Santucci, Kurt Murseli and Ras Gravesen. Anyone who has ever riden here knows how tight it is, Ghetto Mansion kills the place.
