Brookings Weekend

So a couple of weekends ago Dave Vieira, Pete Panagakos, Jeff Fryer, and myself set out for a little 3 day weekend trip to beautiful Brookings, Oregon. Our plan was to skate, drink some beer, and for me to shoot a machine gun in Eugene.

  3. Kilwag Says:

    WTF is the Amazon? In the article I thought it was some speed metal band (that I wouldn’t know anything about). – you know, with the kids and their rock and/or Roll.

  4. Danimal Says:

    Yeah, transplant from Illinois in 1999. Ask me about street spots in Champaign Urbana, circa 1987 and I’ve got you covered.

    Or you could have written: “I’m old and from Illinois, but what do I know.”

    i lived in eugene for a stint.. very close to Amazon… trust me.. you don’t “need” to have heard of Amazon skate park

  15. XFRYARX Says:

    maybe you “need” to learn to ollie? hmmm?

  16. DaveV Says:

    zing!
    It’s pretty cool for nostalgia sake…Im just glad parks like Amazon and Derby are still around. They are still a part of skate history and really show how far park design has come since then. Amazon is fun!

    i lived in eugene for 4-5 years. before churchill or any other eugene parks, the only free concrete park we had was amazon. there was always a good session going on back then. fun times. really.

  18. Karen Says:

    We were there that day. Chris, owner of Coos Bay’s Concrete Pirate Skate Shop, and myself took a group of kids from Coos Bay to Brookings for a day at the park. Skippy was part of our group. You took some good pictures of him. We had a blast skating with everyone that was there.

  19. chris-owner from concrete pirate sk8 shop Says:

    karen and i took a small group of kids to brookings, it was by far the funniest skate trip ever.

  20. chris-owner from concrete pirate sk8 shop Says:

    brookings and port orford skate parks– we visited them both that day.
