I met Aj a couple of months ago on my first time to the Oakville skatepark. At that time this website was just an infint. I saw Aj there tearing the shit out of the place with all types of freaky shit that I wouldn't have even imagined possible. Things that made me uneazy were just another hit for Aj. I told him about our site and a few weeks later he sent in some pics. What I thouht were his best tricks turned out to be nothing. The more pics I saw of him skate, the more amazed I was. When the idea to do skater profiles came up, Ajs name came up immediatley. If you want to know why, just look at the pics. Anyway, here's the profile.

How'd you get into skatin:
i got into skating when i was on my way back from the camp that i go to
(Camp Mini-Yo-We, it's up in Muskoka), this was in the summer of 1996, i
picked up this issue of Inline Skater, and i looked through it and i was
hooked instantly, i thought it was so cool. the guys in the mag were doing
frontsides and stuff, it was awesome. so once i got home i took my Baur
T6's and threw on an anti-rocker system, and started doing what i could.
but before i skated skating, i was a figure skater for 7 years, which some
of you might laugh at but figure skating has helped me immensely with
almost all aspects of rolling.
Achievements (comps and shit):
my first, and only, comp in may '99 at rampage skatepark, i placed in 6th out of 25. i won a sic pic contest at outaline in april.
this is why AJ has his own profile { bridge soul }
