Perfect Rail

Rene Caza, Anto C. and I went to Trois-Rivières for 2 days. Macko joined us on the second day. We crashed at Frank Mireault's house (thx bud). We shot two rails; a wooden one and the so called Perfect Rail.

My 5 favorite pictures of 2006-2007

#1 Macko, b-lip
D70, Tamron 11-18, B&G Polarizing filter
Charlow, second hit, got the shot. I love the colors about this one and the dynamic expressed by Macko.

#2 Julien Lauzon, blip - to sw fb, Mont Royal
D70, Nikon 28-70 f3.5-4
Probably the most hitted rail in Montreal. Julien brought his own flavor to the rail; tight jeans and gnarly blind sided tricks.

#3 Julien Lauzon, bs180 switch tailpress
Nikon D70, Tamron 11-18, B&G Polarizing filter
We were driving beside that rail very often and never thought this would it was really doable, the run in is extra short. Julien decided we should give it a try. It turned out to be worth it.

#4 Young Gun Alex Lopes, Front Board Pretzel, Stadium Rail (RIP)
Nikon D70 setted steadily on manfrotto 055clb + 488RC2, Tamron 11-18, B&G Polarizing filter
Young portuguese Alex totally killed it at this session.

#5 Macko, Backside tailpress
D70, Tamron 11-18
I really like this picture. Macko came up with this angle idea for this trick, it turned out awesome.

A rail called Kenky

So we headed near the water, to a new rail Nic Zic (Universe) found. The rail was very kinky, there was a tree right in the middle of the landing but that's nothing to discourage our Carebears (Calinours en français) look-alike courageous shredders.

Love-a-lot Macko

Merciernaries

Last week's session in Mercier was almost a complete failure. We got there in late afternoon because we got stuck in traffic. The 132 to get there is like a blvd Tashereau but indian flavored. Which means there are tax less, maybe illegal cigarette shack every 10 meters and those giantnormous ads from companies we've never heard of.

JS' Comments on the Macko: Macko is a very energetic character with a very strong work ethic that shows through his riding... no no no, we're not pipe jocks or contest machine here, we snowboard for fun! In reality, Macko is ony funny dude with skanky dancing moves and continuous happiness with just a small glimpse of occasional hate.
