Courtice Skatepark in Clarington, Ontario

Words by Ben Chibber
I went to a skatepark opening in Courtice Skatepark in Clarington, Ontario which is a 45 min drive from Toronto. The park is dedicated to a fellow skateboarder that was killed in a motor vehicle accident. It's a street park with a 5 foot to 6 foot bowl.
We attended the skate park opening on Thursday, July 24 with Alcatraz and Scotties riders in the park shredding all day.
This skate park is in the home town of Monke rider Jordan Bandula and friends.
Go check it out if you are around that area.

HERE ARE PHOTOS OF THE PARK

Edmonton's King of the Castle 2

June 19 & 20 was the biggest weekend in Edmonton's skate contest history, and Monké Skateboards was so glad they got to be apart of it. One of the best parts of the contest was that Milo the Monké was there cheering on the crowd and handing out stickers and posters. He also had some fun posing for pictures with fans and dancing to the music.
