one of my friends went there when he was 14, I remember he came back feeling really guilty about how much his parents spent on him being able to skate for two weeks. he had some funny stories about the sponsored dudes who were there...bobby worrest said he hated being at woodward; he was completely anti-social and would just skate the mini ramp alone and act like a complete asshole when kids would bother him about learning axel stalls. I remember him telling me about matt pailes, and how he would goof around with the kids there and act normal, speak in a 'new jersey accent', and he ran into my friend who was wearing a bob marley shirt and started going all crazy about jah and speaking in a horrible rasta accent.
on an unrelated note, I'm getting a grand at the end of august, and have been thinking about places to go. how long would 1000$ last me in montreal? seems like an awesome place that's not too far. i've always wanted to go to quebec city, too. anyone from there who can give me the low-down on the skate scene, or if its even worth the trip from montreal?
