Monke Tour UPDATE 4

June 7,2009

We ended up leaving Yorkton that night and drove 2 hrs back to Regina to sleep at the worst hotel ever. It was a nightmare of a spot that resembles a dirty trailerpark with no heat, all around disgusting joint.

That day we went to the indoor skate park to rip around and capture some skateboarding. We end up skateboarding after hours till around 10 pm. Good session, good times.

We then went back to Hynx’s spot to eat and chill for the night.

The day of our event and yup it’s raining. The demo and contest wasn’t supposed to start till 4 so there was a small chance that the park might dry up. We all went to lunch at a new organic, vegetarian, wholefoods restaurant called BEET ROOT, the only one of it’s kind in Regina. We had a delicious vegetarian meal and the boys learned some important facts about the benefits of eating veggie. We then went to the out door park and it was dry! I set up the P.A. system and started to skate for a bit. There was a big black cloud hovering above us for the last 30 min. and then suddenly it started to rain. We quickly packed up and went to the indoor park.

We put on the contest and then the demo and everything ran smoothly. We were lucky to have access to the indoor park thanks to Noel from Tiki Room. Also, want to thank Andrew from 306 for his hospitality and support.
