Leeside Skateboard Mayhem

Leeside Halloween Jam, Vancouver, BC, October 31, 2011 Music: Death Grips - Lord of the Game Video: Zenga Bros. Ft. Harold Green, Vampires Dream, Banana, Lemmy, She Wolfs, Manwolfs, Ladyman, Scarecrow, Werewolf, Long Underwear Man, Clumsy Lumberjack, Dirty Hippy Leeside skatepark is a skater-built park in Vancouver, British Columbia. The name ’Leeside’ comes Lee Matasi, a skateboarder and artist from Vancouver, BC who was the victim of a fatal shooting on December 3, 2005. Lee created ’Leeside’, a makeshift skatepark in a tunnel under the Hastings and Cassiar connector in Vancouver. Shortly after his death, hundreds of Vancouver skateboarders and friends attended Leeside, a memorial at a skatepark that Matasi helped build. Leeside is one of Vancouver’s most unique and important skate spots. It’s a very difficult place to skate due to the tight, hand-sculpted transitions, which is why it’s so cool to see the locals rule it.
