Hey Apathy! Sign and New LL Rider

If you have passed by or stopped into the Gallery at 74 Oxford, chances are you have seen the ongoing design changes to the front of the building. While in need of a solid sign we reached out to collaborative partner and friend Mike Parsons / Hey Apathy! to apply his signature style and it looks great. Thanks Mike.


 

It was also good to have Terron Wood, a friend of Longboard Living in from New York and he decided to pick up a custom painted deck...when in rome. We set him up with the last painted board from the Jimmy Chiale 2010 collection, Adam Colton Paris 180 Trucks and Bennett Aligator wheels.

 


Thanks Mike and Terron for stopping by!

Longboarding

If you are not riding or carrying a longboard, I'll ask you if you forgot it at home.
If you say you don't have one, i'll say yet.

It's something you should have with you when you leave in the morning, prepared for unexpected dashes down the block or the 15 minute break you can cruise through the park before going back to work or class. Its the moments inbetween work and play that longboarding connects. You can catch a wave when the light turns red and just go, both lanes, just cruising.

After a busy week and a successful Black Forest Cake show with WAXHEAD on Friday, some of the Longboard Living family locked down a few laps at the park before carrying on with the evening. Here are some photos of BOZ, Flavia and Ryan.

The Blue Banana Market

The Blue Banana Market in Kensington Market is now carrying Longboard Living boards from our custom collection. If you have not been to the BBM it could be considered a Bloomingdales for Canadian artists and all funky unique products.

Longboard Living is making a large effort to reach out to other independent shops around Toronto in an effort to expand and get more boards out to more people.

BOZ Boards Prototype

Here is a lot of new designs going on in the Longboard world these days.

BOZ Boards has been off the radar for a while but I have been watching his work closely in Toronto. Did you know that almost every BOZ board is created from a new mold? Rarely are 2 designs a like, when they are the graphic art is completely original. As BOZ has a fine collection of foam molds, going into production is now on the radar, the only question is which designs will be reproduced? Have a look at a new signature board he is prototyping for BOZ NYC Rider Nate Cohen:



The board features a 1" drop and double kick tail, deep pockets for sliding and locking in for speed.

Finished with carbon fiber.

BOZ Boards are available through Longboard Living and are in stock at 74 Oxford






www.bozboards.com is being updated and uploaded in the near future.

More boards out the door

At 74 Oxford there is a board for everyone. Some like the art, some like the unique shapes of custom build boards but everyone leaves happy. We always assure first time riders that they made the right decision to take up longboarding. What an amazing effect it has on a life by enhancing the daily commute, putting you into motion all while functioning as a mobile piece of functional art work.

Here are some new riders who found the right board for them at 74 Oxford, The Longboard Living Gallery

Video Clip: Bombing Spadina

A clip from the post-ambitious launch party skate.

We took it down spadina 20 deep and off to the SKYDOME garage.

Great day.

Longboard Living hosts a group skate every Wednesday night at 7pm leaving from 74 Oxford.

Ambitious Launch x City Session

We would like to officially welcome Ambitious Boards to the Longboard Living family. We have received shipment (from Barrie, ON) of some fresh drop DH and freeride decks. The release party brought out plenty of riders from the Ontario Longboarding community and was followed by a city session.

















We bombed spadina 20 riders deep, floating over to the SKYDOME to hit the garage. Lots of laughs, a few spills and a lot more laughs!















Thanks to everyone who came out.

We hope to see you at our weekly Wednesday night Side Street Surfing session leaving 74 Oxford at 7pm.

Our next scheduled event is a photo exhibition in honor of the Toronto Board meeting ft. a selection of photos from Jonathan Nuss.
