With the economy going south, the war still raging, and the prospect of change looking bleak, the DVS skate team has decided to jump ship and head to Canada. And why not? Awesome skate spots, beautiful scenery, and free healthcare make the great white north a perfect alternative to America. Still not convinced? Here's what Daewon Song has to say about our friendly neighbors to the north.

"Canada has beautiful places, beautiful people, and beautiful pizza," says Daewon. "I especially like Canadian bacon on my pizza."

"There's a ton of good skaters there too," he says. "Some of the best skaters out right now are from Canada. It's crazy that they can get so good so fast. I'm really looking forward to skating with the locals there."

DVS' "Eh" To Z Tour will include skaters Daewon Song, Jeron Wilson, Jereme Rogers, Torey Pudwill, Guru Khalsa, Mike McDermott, Russ Milligan, and Bryan Wherry. These dudes are all set to shred some of the best cities in Eastern Canada including Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and Quebec City. Check the flyer for demo dates. See ya in Canada, eh!
