New York, NY (July 10, 2008)—Having just returned from a lengthy three-week European Tour, the Zoo Crew isn't wasting any time as they prepare to embark on the 2008 "ZOO-B-Q" Canada Tour from July 22nd-25th.

A few days before the tour officially kicks off, several ZY Officials will head to Quebec to compete in the 4th Annual Zoo York Am Getting Paid (AGP) contest which runs from July 18th20th at Montreal's South Parc Skatepark. AGP is widely recognized as one of today's most prestigious international skateboarding contests for amateurs only. With a hefty prize purse of $10,000 USD up for grabs at this year's event, all the rippers will be there including Zoo's very own Brandon Westgate, Anthony Shetler, Matt Miller, Ron Deily, and Eli Reed.

Once Am Getting Paid is a wrap, the "ZOO-B-Q" Canada Tour will get underway. Along for the ride will be Zered Bassett, Aaron Suski, Brandon Westgate, Anthony Shetler, Chaz Ortiz, and Eli Reed, as well as ZY staff videographer RB Umali who will document all the action for Zoo's upcoming video, "State of Mind." Over a four-day stretch the Zoo Crew will hit a handful of Canadian cities to host demos, autograph signings and, as the name suggests, backyard-style BBQ's with free burgers, dogs and much more.
