Am Getting Paid 2009 Contest in Montreal, Canada

This last weekend was the Am Getting Paid contest in wonderful Montreal Canada, where the woman are beautiful, the weather was warm and the skating was off the freaking charts.

I flew in a couple days early to hang out and see some of the city. Enjoy life, if you will. One of the things I enjoyed about Montreal is the public transportation. They have something called Bixi, where it was rental by the hour bikes! Soo sick!

Regardless, Red Bull Rider Ryan Decenzo was already up there, and happened to have his 23rd birthday while I was in town! Lucky me. We ate some poutine, had some shots, ya know.. the canadian usual.

Starting about thursday the skaters started flowing in. We had everyone from everywhere. Vancouver locs, the Zoo am crew flew in, the Montreal homies already in town, showed us all around, and we ripped around until the contest started.

Lil Kieran Riely from Austrailia, was shredding through the course, with gap to bs smith's on the double kinker, man that Aussy is good. Plus other Red Bull'er Ron Deily made the semi's with some hippie skating that was smoother then ever.

The finals were a barrage of insane skating during the finals.. I mean its all right here in the footage. Not to mention the night life, with Souls of Mischief playing at the official "Am Getting Laid" party. Either way, things were going off.

Magnus Hanson ended up on top, with a winning and just destructive skating.
Manny Santiago right behind Magpie, with some amazing bigspin boards and craz.
Then Micky Papa (above) just flawlessly landed everything in the world for a close 3rd place.
