For those of your who aren't privelaged enough to know this guy...you don't know what you're missing. Not only is Mike Carr more motivated to skate than almost anyone I know, he's been skating the longest out of everyone I know and still rips the hardest! Another thing you need to know about Carr is the fact although he skates everyday, you will rarely get the chance to skate with him...This is because Carr is on the verge of being Nocturnal. While most people are wrapping up skating at the latest hour of 12 or maybe even 1, Carr is out there getting warmed up for his session that sometimes can go until dawn! Not only did he help progress the St.Catharines skate scene forward, Carr also has made a name for himself. At a recent flip demo in Markham, when Appleyard was asked if he remebered skating Sud at all, his response was, 'Yeah, Does Mike Carr still rip?'
These pictures were taken on one lap around downtown with Carr and they really show just how unique his skating is, and the fact that he never uses wax!
