SOTW: Plastic toys, real skateboarding

This week’s Shot of the Week is a Kevin Porterfield shot of Gabe Stoltz taken at the Dallas, Oregon skatepark last week. I didn’t know Dallas had a skatepark, but SkateOregon did. Yes, he landed it. Although yesteryear’s toy skateboards were cheap plastic toys, they still rolled better on those loose bearings than the equivalent wooden toy boards you find at Target or WalMart today. There’s a bonus shot after the jump, or skip to the full frame version of the Shot of the Week.

Bonus shot from the toy skateboard session. Don’t forget to check out the Shot of the Week.

  1. That dude’s an Edwardian poseur. Where are the top hat and spats, wussie?

  2. Now I’m going to have to stop on the Dalles and check that out.

  3. Oh it’s Dallas, not the Dalles. Oh well, doesn’t look that exciting anyway!

  4. “Edwardian poseur?” It reminds me that I need to get some wax for my handlebar mustache…
