From Labor, NYC we took an early flight to TJ’s home turf: Toronto. We landed in a full-on downpour on the way to So Hip Skate Shop, but that didn’t stop the turnout. So Hip has been repping skateboarding for nearly 35 years—skater-owned since day one and still the oldest, core shop in Toronto.
Amazing time at the skateshop
Town Brewery custom beer for the TJ World Tour
So Hip crew
Town Brewery, straight out of TJ’s hometown of Whitby, even brewed custom beers with special TJ tour labels. After plenty of “taste testing,” the verdict was unanimous: best beer ever. Huge thanks to Mike, Stu, Derek, and everyone who packed into So Hip. The sun’s out now, and it’s time to roll on to Montreal for the Dime Glory Challenge. TJIF. - Don
