Hot summer nights are perfect for sessioning a miniramp with perfect trannies with all a bunch of bros. Horseshoe Valley located just past Barrie, Ont. is making your dreams a reality with the new Friday Night Lights Mini Ramp Contest Series in their brand new Skate Park.

Here are some more details:

- 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM
- All Ages, but those under 18 are helmet mandatory.
- Nomis, Ron Jon, and Push prizing. More details to come.
- Grom and Open categories
- Mini Ramp and Jersey Barrier featured for the July 30th contest.
- Music
- Food and Drinks available at the Crazy Horse after
- Accommodations available at the Horseshoe Resort Hotel
- Judging format to be decided by riders
- High ollie comp, Power slide comp, and Most creative trick category will all be featured as well

Basically they are trying to have a backyard feel to it. Nothing overboard, just a mellow comp, good times and sick riding. What more could you ask for?

This month had a few first time clients. One of which is the great people at Disney Interactive. The job consisted of shooting an event where about one hundred lucky kids got to play video games, eat candy, fancy snack food and hang out with teen Disney star Stirling Knight. I also had to shoot group shots, print them out and have Stirling sign them on site. I was fortunate enough to have grabbed photographer Dave Lougheed to come along to run the printer.

Aside from some Epson problem the shoot went great and after the event Disney, High Road and Rothphoto went to an invite only Facebook Media party at the Loose Moose downtown Toronto.

July 1st was the official opening day at the Horseshoe Resort Adventure Park.

The following are a few of the thousands of images captured on this beautiful sunny day.

Horseshoe Resort opened their new Adventure Park to the media a few days before the official  opening on July 1st. This media day was for radio, TV and Print to come out and do some pre-promotions and gather content for upcoming reports.

Spent the night of the MMVA Awards after party celebrating with the celebrities. Bench Clothing had a PK booth at the Horseshoe Tavern, one of the few bars hosting the MMVA after party.

Some of them were all about trying on clothes for photos, some were too cool to talk, but you know celebs…

The following link is a gallery of a few photos, from Kesha to Much VJ’s to Danny Masterson from That 70’s show.

Rugged Winter wear clothing company Canada Goose released their new 2010/11 line of jackets to the mass media  at the Engine Gallery in the Distillery District of Toronto this Month.

I was brought out to capture the event in general as well as (and here was the fun part) Photograph media members with the Canada Goose outerwear, print the photo, place it INSIDE a snow globe, then give it to them as they finish their PK (product knowledge) session.

I brought out good friend and photog Peter Finnie of Biff Spandex to run things on the computer side for this shoot. Thanks again for the quick edits and printing Peter.

I spent this years Go Skateboarding Day (June 21st) with my good friends at Quiksilver. The day was quite an adventure… Going from Absbridges Skatepark just East of Downtown Toronto to The Bait Shop for a BBQ/Party and finally ending up at 751 for the real shaker.

It was a great day and I’ll never forget it, well the parts I can remember I won’t forget…

Canada Day was the official opening day for Horseshoe Resorts new Adventure Park. As one of the park builders and staff I was glad to see so many people out enjoying what we spemnt over a month putting together. Happy to say that a now (almost a month later) the park is still busy and expanding every week.

Catching up on posts from the past month. Starting with this amazing day.

The great people at High Road had Brian Hunt and myself come out to CJ’s Skatepark in Toronto for the day to cover the Gatorade Media day. A sneak peek at Sean Malto, (professional Skateboarder) and the Gatorade Ambush Tour featuring Malto and Chaz Ortiz.
