Skater: Shaun Unwin

A funny thing happened this past Sunday. Stir crazy from the long winter, Alex and I decided that we should try and go for a skate in some of the parkades in downtown Calgary. We quickly learned that the parkades were unskatable. Too wet and slippery to safely skate. The parkades lead into the network of +15s. +15s, given the name because they are 15 feet above the street level, connect all the downtown office buildings. Before we knew it. We were skating for many city blocks from one building to the next. One wrong turn and we ended up in The Core shopping mall. I must admit, I am not proud that I likely startled innocent people and broke some laws but here it is. I hope you can enjoy the skating. - Shaun Unwin
