My photo story

My photo story takes place in Mont-Tremblant with Pro Skateboarder Mike ''Pickle'' Loubert. I tagged along with him and his other friends at the local skatepark where he showed me that he has to skate anything they can find because of the lack of investments in skateparks across the province. Then he had me follow him to a secret spot of his, the only condition is that I had to swear to keep the place a secret. Nice places to skateboard are hard to find and once you tell someone, everybody ends up there and ruins that spot. Plus, secret spot are the best place to finally land the trick you've practicing for the last month and a chance to get amazing pictures in for sponsor and obviously facebook.

Pickle showed how hard a sport this can be, whether it's to find a nice spot or to fix up the skatepark and how to use anything you have even if it means jumping over old ratty couches.

Note that the pictures are in no particular order, but we did start the day at the skatepark to end at the secret spot.
