Someone do Victoria so I can laugh at how bad it is.
ok here it is
victoria:
Shop:
one six: by gordo sucks balls but they have a ramp you can skate if you pay and get you parents to sign your life away.
360: It is down town but a bunch of jocks work there and if you are going to buy shit there you might as well go to sports traders down the street
hto: A surf/snowboard/swim shit store with some skate stuff gay staff exept for one dude. its on broad which is d-town
coastline: same as hto but gayer people and more expensive shit down the street from hto next to a gay club.
Spots:
just go downtown, there is a 9 rail on a roof, a 6 stair you can do lines at and some curbs
uvic has some spots but no one will want to go there and the ground is shit
Transport:
the public transport bus evey where unless you have a car
food
second slice pizza is the only place that people go to other than mc-dicks
Skateparks:
gordo: fun if you like smoking weed and skateing a flat bar in the heat all day. every one there smokes but there is some other stuff to skate like some banks
vic west: a good park if you can handle people high on hard drugs. some rails, hips ledges and a bowl
id say currently its like this
threesixty- definetly is jockish by ownership and staff, but has turned around quite abit since i took over skate there. our team is huge and we have some of the best in vic, not including the HTO guys cause each and every one of them is fuckin gnar.
team
tod myers
drew copleston
steve strange
zach barton
pierce mckay
little lucas
hto- really gay in essence but also has two very legit skate nerds behind the wheel of the skate program, danny and bryn. there team definetly consists of some of the best skaters in vic.
one six- although they carry bikes one six is run by two very chill dudes which im proud to call friends, nick and dave. they are the only shop owners in vic that shred and let me tell you they shred fuckin good. really small due to starvation from canadian distribution, but definetly have been doing alot better lately. one six is also behind alot of the skateboard programs that exist in victoria and have done alot for the local scene.
coastline- in my eyes coastline is the worst and fakest shop in town at the moment. not a single person there skates and every single one of the staff is a complete kook. they hold the only nike sb and adidas skateboarding accounts in vic but only because they were a westbeach before they changed the name to coastline. there team as i know is only court watt, who fuckin rips and is a dope guy in general.
sitka- sitka is a shady surf shop thats main demographic is poser college kids that flock to buy there played out cheaply made overseas garments in droves. both of the owners have quite a bit of controversy floating around them for some crazy overseas scame they pulled plugging there brand in canada.there team is really good but the majority of the guys who ride for the shop hate it and would rather be on a different shop. the majority of them drink alot aswell and dont really skate often, but when they do are quite good.
