HEAD DOWN back in O-town!

On Saturday, October 1, 2011 my home team, HEAD DOWN, is back in Ottawa for a special appearance at the Cancer Benefit show with guests The Superelative, Bruce Boris, and Mudplots. This show is being put on by my another home team Paul Mascaro and his mission for a cure Skoser Merch. Make sure to come on by for a beer at Café Defuf (221 Rideau St.) and help support this great cause!

Free ridin' gypsies Pt.2 - new edit!!


Free ridin' gypsies (Pt. 2) from Johny Bonney on Vimeo.
July was crazy fun month for me. I was fortunate enough to be able to travel from Ottawa to Timmins, back to Ottawa to Winnipeg, back to Ottawa to St-Zotique and to Trois-Rivières, and then back again. Confused? Tell me about it. Shit at the end of all that, it was already August!

Here's part two which features myself, Johny Bonney riding at Beach Club and the Derome's, Charles Sirois, Craig McCallion (Slaysh, Halfcab Productions), and my bro Justin Bonney (Billabong) at the Derome's as well. The footage from Trois-Rivières, Québec, is from a winch contest called Wake Dans Rue (Proam Productions) and features Ben Leclerc (Slingshot, Axis, Billabong, Etnies, Dragon), Yan Tibo (CTRL wakeboards, Axis, Go Fast energy drink, von zipper), Alex Savoie (Liquid Force, Sharks, O'neill, Dragon), and Max Cartier (O'Brien wakeboards).

Needless to say that I got lots of riding done, visited some cool places, and met some even cooler people along the way.

putting Canada back in The Projects!

Oli Derome, Raph Derome, and Yan Tibo killing back where they spent some time. For anybody who doesn't know what 'The Projects' is, well I suggest you look into it. As far as I'm concerned it's pretty much the holy grail of wakeboarding in a sense. And yo also notice Dylan Miller and Dustin O'Ferrall...that's my team!

Robbie Mac!



I first met Robbie McMillin when he was a 13-year old little gromy killin' it at every X-Cup event I went to. In the last couple years I sorta fell off the Ontario scene for greener pastures over in Quebec, and lost track of the thatt little kid we called Robbie Mac. Needless to say that after watching this video he's come a long way in both style and technical ability...stoked to see him finally getting his due after all these years! And props to Andrew Curr for a solid edit.

Wake Awards?

two things:

1. Marc Rossiter is a good rail rider, there's no doubt. However, Nico Von Lerchenfeld and Raph Derome take the cake, sorry Marc.

2. Erik Ruck wins move of the year with a mute back mobe? what is this, 2003? Don't get me wrong, i've been a fan of Rucky since his breakout parts in Incomplete, Metronome, and Invisible Cinema, but come on. Where are all the double variations that have been thrown this year? (i.e. Nico's in his web video Notes from Thailand)...anyways...

thanks, that is all.

Teasing teasers!


Lipsmack-The First Look from Slingshot Sports Wake on Vimeo.
Slingshot has been hard at work this summer crisscrossing every which way to put together their first ever team video. I'm usually a bit wary of team videos, but I think this one could be good...


Defy trailer 2. The Danny Harf project from Sean Kilgus on Vimeo.
The DEFY movie project with Danny Harf has been taking forever it seems, at least a few years and counting now. However after viewing this latest teaser, I guess it will be well worth the wait...

Yan Tibo!


Untitled from still not famous on Vimeo.
After putting out two mindblowing edits with Raph Derome, Joe Ferguson and Still Not Famous have done it again but this time with the talent of Yan Tibo. I've always maintained that the talent coming out of Quebec is scary good, and this video is evidence again that these boys are in a league of their own just waiting to blow up...wakeboarding needs more of this straight up!!

Skate Night 09.07.11: Together for Carter!

Calling all BROTHERS and SISTERS!

COMING TOGETHER: a SKATE NIGHT for Carter 09.07.11 @Babylon Nightclub from Johny Bonney on Vimeo.
This month's SKATE NIGHT presented by TOP OF THE WORLD will be a very special edition honoring the memory of Carter Antila. For those who may not have known Carter, he is the younger brother of TAYLOR ANTILA, a good friend to the skate community here in Ottawa. Sadly for Taylor, his family, and the skate community as a whole, we lost a special kid in a tragic accident on the night of July 30th, 2011.

It then became apparent to Skate Night brainchild, Mr. Sam Francis, that something needed to be done in the wake of this tragedy. So after speaking with Taylor and his family, they informed Sam of a new skatepark they wanted to build in their hometown of New Liskeard, Ontario. At the end of it all this new skatepark would allow for members of the community to share in Carter's love for skateboarding, and provide kids with a progressive, safe, and fun spot to skate. 


And so with that, on Wednesday, September 7th, 2011, Babylon Nightclub (Ottawa) is set to host a worthwhile fundraiser for Taylor and his family. All proceeds from this month's Skate Night will be donated to help the Antila's develop and build a new memorial skatepark in their hometown of New Liskeard, Ontario.
