The Toronto Blading Scene was recently graced with the opportunity to skate and shoot photos with an amazing commerical photographer named Miguel Arenillas.

"Why do you skate on big wheels?" I get this question a lot when I cruise around the city on my 100mm wheels.

For myself the act of skating, especially at night, is like pressing a reset button.

The other day I came across a really inspiring CTV News story about 77 year old Norm Sharkley's goal to raise money to assist homeless addicts within the Vancouver area.

What makes you happy? Better yet, what makes you smile? If you are anything like me, the combination of friendly competition, inline skating and beautiful weather seem to always do the trick!
