Happy Go Skateboarding Day!

Ollie representing at Go Skate Day Vancouver

If you are reading this I hope you are either on your way out to skate, or on your way back from a good skate session.

June 21 is international Go Skateboarding Day, and Skatelife is in the mix in cities across the country.

Go find a Skatelife leader & have a good skate!

Skate Mission documentary

This spring we completed a documentary of Skatelife's international work reaching out to skaters. The film features two trips Skatelife took this spring to Mazatlan, Mexico, and to New Jersey/ NYC. The trips provide a lens through which you can see how we work together with other skate ministries to reach kids in Canada & beyond. 

Many thanks to Evan Bourque from Wilhelm Films for putting the film together for us.

Take a half hour & check it out! Skatelife's Skate Missions

ROADRAGE 2012!

Skatelife's best summer camp ever is back on both sides of the country!
ROADRAGE West is August 1-7 in BC's beautiful Okanagan Valley.
ROADRAGE East is Aug 21-26 traveling from Toronto to Montreal.
This summer's camp is a DIY film festival for teams attending. Each team has a week to film a five minute video with everyone from their team in it. May the best team win!
Need more info? Talk to your local Skatelife leader, or email skatelife@younglife.ca. See you this summer!

Step Up

last weekend Skatelife & the Edge partied with the FIRST EVER Step Up grad class. Five guys from across western Canada moved to Winnipeg MB for 8 months to study, serve the skate scene, and to learn about community. Our 5 grads are Johnny Long, Josh Misch, Darrick Fast, Larsson Loseth, & Eles Thiessen.
Check out an edit of the Step Up crew skating.
The Step Up is a chance for young men to grow in their faith in Jesus as they live & serve in the middle of the skate scene. Interested? Check out the Step Up.

All your skatelifes are belong to us...

Not much better way to start a Skatelife blog... This gem from Skate Camps past pretty much says it all. Dave Houseman & Jay Delaney are considering taking this message to heart.
We hope you will get more rad as you follow us through the upcoming adventures of Skatelife
