Don't you just love the way opportunity breeds excellence? It looks like Ethan has a lot of varied terrain within various skateparks in the Canberra region of Australia. Watch as this talented 10 year old shows you his stylish skating.

A nice little token of appreciation from a client. They put together this photo of sun reflecting off of some freshly stamped concrete we installed for them this fall. Thanks!!

Folks at A for Adventure recently produced this video showcasing the work of Kyle Knight and Jon Senman and their Wooden Skate bowl in Cow Bay Nova Scotia.

Hangman Productions have put up a time-lapse of a job some Propour Concrete guys helped them build last winter in Edmonton. It was an amazing project to work on. Check the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NXH6iPju3A http://www.hangmanproductions.ca

Its hard to believe it was 10 years ago now that Propour President Steve Hare helped on this beauty in Currituck County North Carolina. Steve's apprenticeship with Grindline Skateparks Dave "Shaggy" Palmer was well worth the volunteer Labour. He likes to think of the time spent with Dave as on the job training. It certainly began his love for all things concrete.
