Magnificent Boys

The Magnificent Boys, Mag Boys for short, were a group of young gentlemen at Maple consisting of Spencer Owens, Robbie Gaskin, Phil Devries, Bryden Ferrato, Kyle Hammond, and Llama. The name "Magnificent Boys" came about in a pretty amazing way - a few of the above mentioned dudes wrote "MB" in capitals on their griptape, due to their infatuation at the time with then B-list pop star Michelle Branch. Klayton, another dude who used to frequent Maple and still comes around once in a while, one day asked one of them, "What the %&^$ does 'MB' stand for? Magnificent Boys?" And here started an epic concept for a video. Unfortunately the full length video is only available on VHS and the 3 or so copies are very rare, so all there is to this post is the trailer and some Mag Boys-related videos from back in the day. FWWAAAAAAAAASH!

This is the trailer for the full feature:

This one's a montage made by almost all members of MB:

This here is a line Rob Gaskin did at Muskoka Woods indoor facility. The first fall is hilair:

And finally, two videos of Spencer Owens. The first - him skating the second version of Evolushun indoor skatepark in Hamilton and landing nothing. In contrast, the second is Owens landing the greatest trick ever documented at Maple skatepark:
