Hey everyone, I've been in Victoria BC for the past while going to school.

Met a few guys and have been riding the skatepark mostly every weekend, decided to grab some pics last weekend.

Jon, with his abubicas.

I really need to work on airing out, and keeping my knees together on tables.

And my favorite shot of the day:

Cool, I'm thinking of checking out Victoria in a week or so. Where is that park?

You go downtown, over the blue drawbridge and basically follow the road into Victoria West, you'll see a Shell gas station and just follow the road, it's right there.

There is a Save-on-foods, I think it is, and a starbucks and some other shops nessled beside it and a baseball diamond. It's really not too hard to find if you can get downtown.

PM me if you need some added directions or if you're down for a ride, I usually go on weekend mornings, school during the week and it's super busy in the afternoons and nights.
