I found out the other day that the annual West 49 canadian open will not be running anymore due to insufficient funds (not ennough money) because last year West 49 lost alot of money because not enough people went and not nearly as many skaters showed up as they had planned which is unfortunate because there isnt too many World Cup skateboard competitions in Canada.
