Man a few weeks ago I was thinking about how there isn't as much coverage on Canadian skate spots and then I find you! Love it dude keep it up!!

[@JustinBehan]

Haha damn what are the odds! Thank you I’m glad you like the videos! More to come 🫡

[@vincentskater]

This is so sick , thank you so much for the history and for keeping skating alive !

[@JustinBehan]

Appreciate it!! 🙌🏻

[@switchstancegames]

[@JustinBehan]

Thank you!! 🙏🏻

[@thomaspreszcator]

Series is super rad can’t wait for more

[@JustinBehan]

Appreciate it!! 🙌🏻

[@geoken2]

9:20 - we watched Justin Bookma do a bunch of stuff on it one cold early spring day. Nollie backside 5-0 is what stood out to me the most. It was when we, as young kids, realized the gulf between what we thought was good and an actual pro was much wider than we could have imagined.

[@_urrrric]

Blinger Switch Heel the 10 🔥

[@JustinBehan]

True! One of Toronto’s finest!

[@CollinGill7]

love this series please keep em coming you're gonna make me fly up from texas!

[@JustinBehan]

Come through! Haha we got spots!

[@johnschool]

we called this spot skate heaven back in the day

[@JustinBehan]

If the security wasn’t so bad, it still would’ve been called that today haha

[@seanthompson2259]

Skated downtown Toronto 95-99 and this was always my top spot, so much nostalgia seeing this

[@jessejamesb]

comment for algorithm ... cant wait to see where you go when you run out of TO iconic's. Hamilton is calling, St.catharine's says what's up. All in go-transit range.

[@thedukeofsackville6540]

Noah T skated that last tall ledge in ghetto fabulous a bunch

[@JustinBehan]

True!! Can’t believe I forgot about that! Good call 🙏🏻

[@cryingjordan8842]

@@JustinBehanya was really surprised not to see him mentioned. Toronto legend

[@MBMB594]

BEHAN ❤

[@MadRiverReggie]

Awesome content and top notch presentation skills. A+++. I've always had some regret that I missed out on the early days of skating in T.O so vids like this are very informative and enjoyable.

[@JustinBehan]

Appreciate it thank you! 🙌🏻

[@fakiewilly]

Us kids from Brampton would take a bus up to T Dot and always start at commerce court. So many memories there.

[@JustinBehan]

Hell yeah! Was the same for us from Ajax!

[@RasKitchen]

First time I saw the classic Commerce out ledge in a video was Alien Workshop "Time Code"...respect to Thomas Morgan! kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3KZooWGjLmnmJYsi=jafm82SmtsbuA-jw&t=144

[@JustinBehan]

So sick seeing him skate TD as well in that!

[@bochingus1854]

[@JustinBehan]

Thank you! Been skating for Switch for 10 years! Gotta show love 🙏🏻

[@God_Shen]

[@JustinBehan]

[@user-bb7pd1nc2d]

How about historic parts Rexdale ... I grew up in Jamestown. We had hand rails everywhere. Only three of us skated though .. I'm 45 now and I'm loving these.... We used to go down to commerce every weekend. And Shred central of young and college... The plaza on college next to young was also legendary

[@JustinBehan]

Hell yeah! Definitely gotta branch out of the downtown core once I finish all the spots there. I definitely wanna cover more known spots all across the GTA. Glad you liked the videos so far! More to come 🙌🏻

[@jeremyelkin]

Nice. Good times w Morgan filming the Ride Channel video. Was patiently waiting for the iPath Sabback nosegrind clip in this..

[@JustinBehan]

Love those Ride channel videos! Damn forgot about iPath clips!! This spot might get a revisit for a part 2 addition because there’s some tricks that should be in here for sure

[@IndyAdvant]

Absolutely perfect. Stoked for TD!

[@JustinBehan]

Hell yeah! Next weekend! 🫡🤝🏻

Phil McKnight is a legend!

[@werelyve]

@@JustinBehan jeff folgmann bs 360 and switch front big. Folg almost back 360 kickflip this was all like 18 years ago lol

[@KelmoMusic]

The flat five was one of my favourite spots, even though I couldnt do shit on it myself. The gap over the sidewalk to the road right next to it was also insane, sucks they put that glass wall in.

[@JustinBehan]

Gap over sidewalk was sick! I remember seeing Alex Neary hardflip it!

[@Jblizzybaby]

I swear i skated past you guys going to union station like 3 weeks ago

[@JustinBehan]

[@JustinBehan]

Stay tuned! 👀

[@harrygilsphotovideo]

Any history from pre 2006?

[@JustinBehan]

The next videos that are coming, we tried to dive a bit deeper! Any suggestions on what Toronto videos we should watch to brush up on our history? Definitely don’t want to neglect those eras!

[@nicklobzun]

whens the brickford video comin out

[@JustinBehan]

Bickford coming soon!

[@chrissanderson7935]

Cool series, just a shame it has to feature Ontario’s worst city! Haha

[@Jblizzybaby]

Toronto version of Dern bros

[@JustinBehan]

They’re dope! Definitely part of the inspiration!

[@Seiryuuji]

I went there and almost got trespassed

[@JustinBehan]

Haha yeahhh that can happen. I’ve learned that as long as you’re chill with the security, they’re usually cool about it.

[@MarlonGreenie]

Bruh I got trespassed this year and banned for 1 year 💀

[@JustinBehan]

That sucks!
