School's back from summer?!

That means there's no one to come to WOW anymore! Ahhh well, we all knew it hast to come to an end sometime huh? What a massive summer it has been! We've driven across Canada, been to so many places, seen so many faces and had so much (if not too much) fun. I want to say thanks to all you kids who came out to the West crew truck to see us this summer. Without you it would have been a little boring. BIGGGGGGG thanks to the kids who voted for the West Crew in the challenges, its obvious that we are the best crew. DONT WORRY, the fun won't stop here. We have to drive back to Toronto, so if you see us along the way make sure you come say hello. We may even have some left over prizes! Who knows? Stone Cold. Also make sure you keep that dial tuned to YTV this fall - there will be all new episodes of SpongeBob, Fairly Odd Parents, Back at the Barnyard and Naked Brothers band. Not to mention something that I'm looking forward to - the premiere of 'The Mighty B'. Looks OUTSTANDING doesn't it, Mrs Thomas? So this is it and I promised myself I wouldn't cry... gee... I must also thank The Erinator and Coolz Julz for being great 'partners in crime' this summer. You guys have been the best - thanks for teaching me that its ok to change my socks everyday and how to clean a bathroom. Kada- medussa -dussa -dussa. Chew baka -baka -baka.

WOW FOREVER!

HELLO THERE!

Guys, this summer has flown by. Can you believe it's nearly over? So this week we've been hanging out at the Planetarium and now we're at the PNE! ITS THE FINAL COUNTDOWN. kern. I love the West coast of Canada. It is unreal. The kids are awesome, and so is the landscape. So far it has been raining pretty bad, but I've spoken to Pookie the weatherman and he's given me the "All clear, John Deere" that the sun will be out for the rest of the time. Humid today pals, moisture. Come see us at our last event at the PNE please. We have loads of extra prizes to give away. I dare you. Also I had my photo in a "racing car for the sky" at the Canadian Forces tent at the PNE. Check it out! CHK. Yeah don't care see ya!

So the West Crew is the best crew. You knew that right?

So the West Crew is the best crew. You knew that right? We're winning the video challenges. We're in the best part of Canada and we've had some of the coolest kids ever! So over the past couple of days, we've been at Splashdown Park where there were some great slides of water. Daddy ge’d in? Yes - we had a couple of fathers come in to the Mission Nerf Octagon. Actually one - He looked like a grizzly bear, and I wasn't going to be the one to tell him no! Coolz Julz had to tag him pretty quickly. We're now at the Greater Vancouver Zoo once again. It’s great! I suggest you all come and see us out there. They have an awesome show called Rapid Raptors that showcases birds of prey. It's a really wicked show. Go see it. I've added a couple of pics below for you guys to check out. One is of Hagrid the Great Horned Owl (in flight) and the other is of Benson the Barn Owl. Nice guys. Not long now until this summer will be no longer WOWed. You should take these final weeks to come see us. Foh' Sho'.

Keep voting west.

LLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE

Hello from Tubes in the VAN VAN!

Yep, in case you didn't already know, we're in Vancouver. It's awesome. I love mountains, I love the ocean and here I have both! What more could I want? So far we've been at Playland, The Science Centre and Vancouver Zoo. My choice for best place so far has been the Zoo. I got to have my picture taken with a BALD EAGLE! So check it out! Jealous much? I bet you are. I found out that the Vancouver Zoo is the only Zoo in Northern America that lets you take your bike in there. There was a kid called Joel who showed me the difference between a skid and a burnout - I did not know the difference. He said: "This is a skid." He took his bike and went ssssssscrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeccccchh with the back tyre. Then he said: "And this is a burnout Chk-YEEEAAH"! The peeps at the Zoo loved it so much, as did I, so I promised him I would mention it in my blog. What a great kid, I miss him. So we're here for a while now, check out where we'll be following the link up there. . Dunkaroos Slam Zone is going strong and I want it in my backyard at the end of the summer! Arrange it for me somehow. Talk to you all soon.

HELLO G-MAN AND OWNAGE!

These two guys came down to Play Land at the PNE here in Vancouver and asked me to mention them in my blog, so there you go boys. It’s done. They had an awesome time with us and played every game. We have a new game for the month of August. It’s called Cosmic Keep away. Now don't get me wrong, I'm going to miss the super soaker guys, but this game is AMAZING! The ball actually talks to us, and it knows your throws! HOW? I have no idea but it's really cool. So I guess you know now, we've arrived in Vancouver. Edmonton was a blast and those kids up there were LOUD! Good job. SONYA! The drive through the Rockies was cool. I saw ANOTHER bear. We've challenged the East crew to a Rap off. Check it out on the videos page. I wanna be a Boo boo tician! You'll get it if you watch the videos. Maybe not. J-J-J-J-John! My photos this week are of me and a huge Python! Thanks to Kevin from Little Rays Reptile Zoo (who was at the Capital Ex in Edmonton and helped me wrestle that monster) the west crew at Lake Louise and me on the Ferris Wheel at Playland. Come see us in Vancouver, we're here for a MONTH, check the locations link and vote for the WEST CREW in the video challenges! UP THERE!

Check out where we're going to be because I need you kids to keep my summer fun. Hmmm whatcha say?! The N-strike Recon C-S6 has been a huge hit with you Kids.

Hello CANADA!

Hello CANADA! We have arrived in Edmonton - its quite nice. I'm looking forward to meeting some Edmontonian kids! Can you be as loud at Calgary was???!!! Big ups to the Calgary cowboys and cowgirls who came to see us while we were there. YEEEEEHHAAAAAAAWWWWW!!!! MEGA big up to Jake who when we were at Canada Olympic Park took it upon himself to pick up the trash that other kids left around the WOW truck. Top stuff Jake! You are a legend! Great way to keep Canada Beautiful. Also at C.O.P we met a little guy Mark who now has a new nickname. It's Squirt or Squirta. He loved it and will love it for the rest of his life. What a cool kid - Squirt. If YOU want a new nickname, come see me. I'm loaded up with them so just ask. We are at the Edmonton Valley Zoo and Capital Ex for a while. I hope to see a stoat. There has been a lot of moisture about in the last couple of hours so I need all of you pals to pray for some sunny days. That way we can be uninterrupted in our quest for "cool down" in the supersoaker splash! Thanks Game. So check out where we are, write on the YAP! boards, vote for the West crew(cos we're the best crew) and make me a sandwich.

p.s. - I had a hair cut.

HELLO PANTS!

This is the first thing that I said to one of the kids on one of our last days at Calaway park! One of the kids there (from memory he wanted me to refer to him as "Huge") was wearing the brightest pair of trousers I have ever seen! Hot pink! Very eye shattering! The pictures I took did not come out as it was too bright. Now that is out of the way, I must also make mention of the young man who turned up to super soaker splash with his OWN super soaker. It is safe to say that I was not prepared for a 'crowd member' to have some form of retaliation against my Aqua Shock Sneak Attack. It was he who snuck up on me and I left Calaway Park that day very, very, very wet but happy too. We have also been to the Calgary Zoo. I loved that place. I saw plenty of cool animals including a baby elephant and a baby buffalo. It reeked of awesome. The best animal there though was the bald eagle. Extra cool. Calgary has been an amazing place, and the kids here just unreal. They have raised the bar for kids all over Canada as far as making noise goes. Boy oh boy can they screeeeeech! Keep up the great work Canadian kids, check out the locations link above to see exactly where we're off to next. Edmonton - be prepared to be WOWed. JENKEN! Seeya later, cheese grater. tubes.

Hey there my most valued friends, Tubes coming to you live from Calgary, Alberta!

What an amazing time we had in Winnipeg. I am so happy that we did not get blown away by the high winds there! Thanks to all of the awesome kids that came along, you know who you are. Also - to my main man "Jing" they were some truly sick dunks you slammed home in the Dunkaroos Slam Zone. I still dream about that 360 dunk you cashed home! Top stuff. Our drive from Winnipeg was pretty uneventful. There are some lovely fields in Saskatchewan. Someone should plant some stuff in those fields. We stayed in Regina for the night, and then drove to Calgary. I took a photo crossing the border. Very nice. We are off to Calaway park next for a couple of days and then we will be doing our thing across Calgary, so be sure to check our locations and come see us. I dare ya!

G'day everyone!

Tubes here, coming to you from Man-in-toga? Or is it Manitoba? Well, what a blast the West crew have had in the last few days! We have given a huge amount of prizes away at the Red River Ex and let me tell you we have (literally) a truck load more to give away! Although the weather hasn't been the best, the WOW crew is leaving Winnipeg, bound for Calgary! We’ll be around to have some outrageous fun, so get along to all the WOW events! Check out the locations link above to see where we're off to next! I challenge you kids to come and see if you can out dunk me in the Dunkaroos Slam Zone. I have had some practice and I'm pretty good. The Erinator and Coolz Julz told me so. Ok, I'll talk to you when you come to see us - I'm the tall guy in the YTV W.O.W uniform.

SEEYA!

Hello there WOW fans

Last week we left Toronto and headed for Thunder Bay. It took us 2 days driving to get there, but we arrived! It was a very beautiful drive up here. Lakes, cottages, boats, trees, rocks, A BEAR, deer, trees, more trees, and did I mention trees? I have to say though, I was a little disappointed when we got to Pancake Bay and it was not a bay of pancakes... I have yet to see a moose. I saw plenty of signs saying that moose are out there, but did not lay eyes on one. The signs say that the moose are a danger at night. Is it because that’s when they are the most angry? We are off to Winnipeg next and I am looking forward to meeting all the kids and having a load of fun with Nerf, Super Soaker and the dunkaroos Slam Zone!

See ya when I'm looking at ya,

Tubes.

p.s. I took a photo of the superior truck (the West Truck) in front of the superior lake (Lake Superior).

Hi there! My name is Tubes.

I am ultra excited to be a part of the YTV W.O.W tour this year. I'm one third of the crew heading out west with lots of prizes from NERF, Dunkaroos, and Super Soaker. I am looking forward to meeting all of you kids and taking you on in all of the fun games we have organized for you this year. Just so you know, I'm pretty good at Mission Nerf and Supersoaker Splash. Come down and give me a high five - if you think you can reach!
