Ryan DeCenzo brought Toronto, Canada to a standstill last week as he took his skateboarding skills onto the streets for Red Bull Traffik Jam.
The city – home to more than 2.7 million people – is renowned for having some of the worst traffic conditions in the world. DeCenzo joined the drivers stuck in those traffic jams on August 18 as he headed to Yonge-Dundas Square to showcase his tricks.
Yonge-Dundas Square is a unique focal point of the downtown Toronto community and home to the city’s only four-way cross-walk and always teeming with people, cars, buskers, and countless other revelers. Hundreds of people witnessed Ryan perform a kickflip on the first gap, an ollie on the second and then a 180 off the last one to skate away in the streets of Toronto.
With each trick that Ryan performed, the impressed crowd showed their appreciation while capturing what they were seeing on their cameras. And, it was clear the feeling was mutual with the skater enjoying every moment of the experience.
“The Red Bull Traffik Jam was an adrenaline filled no miss kind of skate project,” he said. “It was street, crowded and it could be the resume to my next career as a stunt man.”
