Naphte Mag organized a meeting last saturday in Quebec City to promote longboarding. There was some slalom, freecarving and sliding sessions. Plenty of demo boards to try. And a slalom race and slide contest.
Here's a video from the meeting by Boris Firquet, a friend and avid longboarder.

Thanks Wesley!
Rick Brassard (white helmet, blue sweatshirt, with mustache) was the guy who built and supplied the ramp. And did a great job! He just started slaloming with us this summer and got totally stoked on it.
He spent $20 on it and used wood and pipes he had laying around in his garage. It can be assembled and dismantled in 10 minutes and can fit in his Toyota Sienna while still sitting 4 adults with all the skate gear. It has a great pumpable transition, stairs in the back with griptape on every step, and masonite surface.

Could you do me a huge favor - get me some pics and hopefully the plans for the ramp.
The Toronto Crew wants to build a set and they look incredible.
Feel free to send me the information direct to my e-mail
Hope things are well
All the best
