Monke Tour UPDATE 3

June 6, 2009
We woke up around 8:30 am and got ready for our big day. We got to the event at 10:30 and settled in at the Gallagher center in Yorkton, which is the furthest eastern town in Saskatchewan.

Later on in the day we did a local skateboard contest for the kids, we had 50 competitors and 250 plus spectators. It was a great turnout for the community of Yorkton. All around the day was a success. Everyone was excited to be involved in the event and was having lots of fun.

After the event was over we went to the burnt down ghetto spot and got a couple of photos and some footage. We then went to the infamous B3 Skateboard shop to skate the vert ramp and chill with the homies.

We had a great day and lot’s of good memories.
Thanks to B3 and the City of Yorkton!

That demo and hangin' around at B3 had to be the funnest thing I've done in years, Either makes me a really boring person or makes you guys insane! I'm going to stick with the secound one.. I'm not from Yorkton I'm from a smaller town like an hour away and it was well worth the drive. Hope you guys come back down some day.
