Canada Day thread welcomes skater nostalgia
Edwards steered conversation toward personal topics, writing that he wished he could have pursued skateboarding more seriously. He pointed readers toward a collection of photographs and asked the community to suggest names missing from a list of notable skateboarders.
The Open Thread doubled as a Canada Day post for the site's northern readers. Edwards closed with links to full coverage of Topuria's appearance, Machado's forecast, and Zaynukov's next fight.
