Empowering Emerging Generations - Motivational Presentations and Humanitarian Relief Trips
So we have been on the road for just about two months, and let me tell you it has been quite the experience. We have had an incredible time so far!
Canada is about a million times more beautiful than I could have ever expected and the funny thing is that I live in Canada. […]
...continue readingAbsolute would like to welcome Corporate Saturday to our Think Day tour. They will be joining Team 2 on their tour across Canada.
Over the past three years, Corporate Saturday has worked hard to establish themselves in their hometown of Windsor, Ontario, and they are now looking to do the same across the country while touring with Absolute! They recently released their first full-length album entitled, “Looking at the Same Stars” and won The “Best Young Songwriters” award at the 2008 Toronto Independent Music Awards. Corporate Saturday’s current line up consists of Rob on drums, Brendan on guitar, Austen on vocals and the newest member, Bobby, on bass. Together they form a tight knit musical family with the common goal of making good music and spreading a positive message. Being inspired by the Absolute presentation early in high school, the band later decided to apply for a position. After three years of hard work and practice , Corporate Saturday is ready to hit the road for the first time with Absolute!

Absolute sadly says good bye to All Left Out and wishes them luck on their UK and Japan tour in the up in coming months. You guys ROCK!
Well, it was our first week of touring. We had 5 Think Day Presentations at 3 really great schools. For some of us it was our first time speaking and running sound and lights which was quite nerve racking but that is why we had loads of practice time before hand(2 weeks of hard core set […]

The school year is coming to a close, and what does that mean? Well yes, no more homework and bag lunches (haha!), but also that our Absolute road teams are shutting down until the end of summer. It’s been a busy, busy term and I got so preoccupied that I completely neglected our world wide […]

...continue readingSo we were having a lazy thanksgiving day in Sylvan Lake, Alberta and needed to get some fresh air, so what better to do than to strap our Team 2 girls into an oversized piece of nylon with strings and toss them into the wind!
Since we really didn’t have much of a hill, I hooked up some rope and tried out the old fashioned human tow:
I managed to launch Andy, Kelsey and Lena into the air for their first successful solo paragliding flights (not parasailing… that is what old ladies do in Mexico. Paragliders fly for hours and 100’s of km in a single flight with just the power of the wind). These girls caught very quickly, nailing some sweet landings and doing much better than Ricky Martin.
The dog however has more interested in looking cool and eating boogers.
After managing to pull of a bunch of small flights, I hooked up a longer rope to Kelsey and was able to pull her at 30 ft for the entire length of the soccer field for one awesome flight.
So on Saturday, my team, “Team 2″ (aka Team Extreme) headed west for a 6 week tour in MB, SK, AB and BC… after we crossed the border a certain unmentioned individual took the wrong exit and ended up on the Detroit route instead of the usual more northern one.
