The “Island of the Ams” skateboard competition was quite impressive at Wakestock Friday. Things are sure to heat up for the finals Saturday as $5,000 is on the line. A lot of Toronto locals have a shot at the top spot which is nice to see. Lee Yankou, Chris Gibbons, and Brandon Del Bianco. Of course Bajcar simply rips his own way contest or no contest. He was killing it during the competition and alongside the Zoo York team during the demo. Both Zoo York and Globe riders are in town and will also be doing a demos between Am contest heats this weekend.

I saw this massive skateboard pic of Dave Nolan near Yonge and Dundas. While the shop posting this massive ad doesn’t even sell skateboards at least it’s by a Toronto photographer (Harry Gils) and is shot here in Toronto.
