Where’s My Flying Skateboard?
Last night I dreamt that I was in the process of creating a flying skateboard. I had to ollie to get the board into the air. Unless I performed a perfect ollie, the board would not hover. It would just fall back to the ground. I tried it again and again. I was determined to…

South Point Trail at Rondeau Provincial Park
Rondeau Provincial Park . . . Time to hit the ground running. Literally. It’s time for another Visual Running Tour! South Point Trail was definitely my favourite running spot at the park. It starts out along an old road and works its way through the Oak Savannah. It was amazingly quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. The…

Spicebush Trail at Rondeau Provincial Park
Let’s go to Rondeau Provincial Park in Southern Ontario today for another edition of My Visual Running Tours! I spent a week of my holidays this summer camping at this beautiful park. You can go there for a day trip if you’d like. Just make sure to pack a lunch, plan to go swimming, and…

The Marsh Trail at Rondeau Provincial Park
Rondeau Provincial Park is located in Southern Ontario and it is a great destination for camping, boating, fishing, hanging out at the beach, and of course, trail running. When you are on site, it almost feels as if you are on an island since the beach runs along Lake Erie on one side and there…

Skateboarding, Batman, and Photoshop
I found this image on Tumblr two weeks ago. I was impressed that Heath Ledger was skateboarding during a break from shooting. I found another image about Comics and Skateboarding and teamed them up together for a blog post. At the time, I thought the skateboarding Joker image was so cool. I also believed it was…

Comics and Skateboarding
Two images I found on Tumblr just now that I had to post together. Had to! Apparently the above image was taken during a break in shooting and it actually is Heath Ledger (rest in peace) doing a kickflip over Batman from the set of The Dark Knight. Very cool! Correction This image is fake.…

It’s time for another installment of my Visual Running Tours. Today, we are going to Cambridge to explore the Moffat Creek Trail. It starts off as a shared pathway and it is paved for easy access for bicycle riders or rollerbladers, but there is an area where the dirt trail becomes an option as well.…

Shredding With Tony Hawk
Check out my latest skateboard. You’ve seen the one at the top before. The one on the bottom is my brand new one and I’ve already logged several hours of intense skating on it. I know. It doesn’t have wheels. But it doesn’t need them. It’s actually the controller for a really cool video game.…

Worse Ways to be Stuck Inside
So I’d been hobbling along for a few days. Days that just happened to be amazingly beautiful and sunny. Days that practically called me to get out and be active. Days that teased me because my bruised and swollen ankle prevented me from doing so. The good news is that my girlfriend was doing some…

Battered and Bruised By a Trail
It’s amazing how easy it is to hurt yourself. Last week, I went for a run on a fairly flat course. It wasn’t a difficult run at all. There weren’t an abundance of tree roots or rocks to watch out for along the route either. I don’t know how I did it. But ten minutes…
