Whistler Bowl Series 2009

At the end of Summer each year the Vancouver contest series has a final contest and crowns a new King. This year was a little different. At the beginning of the summer we lost a dear friend. I have always knew him as Carver Don. He suffered as  head trauma at the Canada Day contest at Seylynn on July 1st, 2009. He passed later on that day. This year’s winner and King of the Bowl was declared to be Carver Don. I couldn’t think of a better and more fitting way to remember him.

Watch the video to see the celebration of skateboarding.
