At the end of July and the beginning of August 2010, I was lucky enough to be asked to join the Canadian Deathwish team on a quick four day tour to Quebec City and then on to the small town of Rimouski, in the Gaspe peninsula.  The plan was pretty simple.  We would all hop in the van in Montreal and then drive the two and a half hours to Quebec city where we would stay and try to hit a few street spots for a day or so before heading on to go skate a demo at the Rimouski skatepark being put on by Alternative.

Quebec city was amazing and I recommend a visit if you’ve never been there. The locals are friendly and there’s tons of fun little spots and hills to bomb.  While Rimouski offered up a little bit less in the street skating department the park there was really fun to cruise around and our hosts there were amazing.  Everyone on the team got busy at the demo and tons of tricks were landed. Thanks again to everyone involved!
