North Vancouver City Fest 2017 Photo Recap

The 2017 North Vancouver City Fest was another epic year of fun in the sun with the youth of the North Shore!

This year we were out in full force as always and hosting the longboard race, our Learn to Stop Sessions, a new format Boarder-X course and some Dancing. We have worked with the youth of the North Shore all year to help plan this event and could not have done it without the incredible volunteers. We also could not have put on the event without the support of the City of North Vancouver, North Shore Neighborhood House, the North Shore Alliance Church and our sponsors, Cariboo Brewing, Predator Helmets, landyachtz Longboards, Sector 9 Canada and Skate Slate. // read more

North Vancouver Learn To Stop City Fest Popcorn Fundraiser

One of the things we do at Flatspot is teach people how to skate. Some basics can really help you figure out your new life on a skateboard and some tips and tricks can help you progress from there. We like to call our regular skate session ‘Lear To Stop’ because learning to stop is often a lot harder than learning to roll. Felling safe about getting off the board helps everything else come more naturally. Stopping is also going to be your first tool in an emergency, not going faster. // read more

Juke Jive Jam: Riki’s Bowl Jam Photos

Flatspot hosted our first ever, and hopefully not the last, Juke Jive Jam a few weeks back. We have so much appreciation and stoke for theĀ artists that performed for the show and will be releasing more photos and video from the event soon! In the mean time, we wanted to keep the stoke alive with an album from the Jam side of things in the Wok and Riki Fandrakis had a bangin photo set to share with us.
