Ticker Tape Double Feature

Ages ago, there was a newly discovered spot called Ticker Tape, a bar meant for an older crowd somewhere on Mainway or Harvester or something like that in Burlington. Just outside this bar was a pretty good rail with a really sketchy run way. McNeil had been there a few times, and had landed a back board before but I guess he just had a thing for doing it over and over again. His good friend Eric on the other hand, went frontside and fully went for it but unfortunately things didn't really work out. There's also footage of Burlington's wannabe amazing spot called AmCan, a sequence of 4 stairs in roughly the same area I think.

Mac Beaulieu Creek Jumper Extraordinaire

My brother used to skateboard a lot more than he does now, and in his prime he tried this ollie over a little creek somewhere in Burlington. Using the sketchiest runway/kicker/landing possible, he really went for it but unfortunately things didn't go quite as planned and he almost broke a few ribs. Thankfully he didn't land it so everyone can laugh at this hilarious video.
