I just booked a flight to Toronto, Canada for some pro contest up there. Last time we tried to get into Canada, we got detained at the border due to all the skate promo we had. They insisted we were trying to go to Canada just to sell it. We were on our way to do a Damn Am Contest there. After nine hours of them having us sit in the parking lot with no food allowed, they made us turn around and charged us $800 in taxes for attempting to bring all our skate stuff in. Yeah, even Canadian bacon sucks. Check out the story: Canadian Rejects. If I make it into Canada next weekend, watch for coverage from that contest here on the site. If I don't make it in, we need to just nuke them or something.
