THIS PAST SUMMER WE AT MERIDIAN LOADED UP OUR XL VAN FULL OF SKATERS AND HEADED OUT ACROSS WESTERN CANADA ON A DEMO TOUR EXTRAVAGANZA. WORKING TOGETHER WITH SHOPS FROM VICTORIA B.C. TO PRINCE ALBERT SASK. MERIDIAN DELIVERED THE MESSAGE OF SKATEBOARDING AND FUNTIMES TO EVERYONE WHO BORE WITNESS. FAVORING THE SKATE JAM FORMAT AS OPPOSSED TO THE MORE STANDARD DEMO, ALL SKATERS WERE INVITED TO SKATE AND MINGLE WITH THE MERIDIAN ENTOURAGE. ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT THIS YEARS TOUR WAS THE NON- STOP VIDEO DOCUMENTATION BY A PARTICULAR ROD LYONS. ROB HELD THE CAMERA SO MUCH THAT AT ONE POINT OF THE TRIP, SASKTOON I THINK, THE CAMERA ACTUALLY FUSED TO HIS HAND. NO LIE! SINCE OUR RETURN, ROB HAS BEEN LOCKED IN HIS EDITING ROOM MANIPULATING THE FOOTY INTO THE FIRST MERIDIAN TOUR VIDEO. WE WILL NOW BE BRINGING YOU 8 EPISODES THROUGHOUT THE WINTER VIA THE INTERWEB. LOOK FOR DVD’S OF THE WHOLE TOUR WITH BONUS FEATURES AVAILABLE IN EARLY SPRING! < less

Much thanks to Rob at Freeride for putting us up and taking the boys out on the boat for a little wake surfing sesh. Gratitude also goes to Aran from No. 1 for bringing us up to Kamloops, and to old friend/B.O.S. affiliate Chad Hampton for housing our group of scoundrels. Now sit back and enjoy watching what we got up to during this leg of our epic ride through western Canada. < less
