From Elias Parise:
Willis, Andy, Mark and Lorenzo getting it at Pier and Unheard, during one of the weirdest and coldest weeks of the year. 12.28.12-01.01.13
How thoughtful, a skate session on my birthday! Oh wait, I wasn’t invited. That’s OK, I would have stunk up the video. A little Unheard facility footage too. Music by Ghost Alien.
Friends of Pier Park and Solv will be doing another Pier Park Pickup next Saturday from 9-12. Trash pickup around the skatepark, paint over graffiti, probably paint the bottom of the big bowl, patch the coping grout, etc. Come lend a hand.
Year # 2 has started a great saturday BBQ/SSSS. The unofficial caretaker of Pier Park (Mike Swim) has the saturday session rolling again. So bring your meat and pads and take a dip in the deep end with the grown-ups, but most of all bring your meat skills. Swims Saturday Skate Session (Pier Park)

Hey wow, I’ve got a tone of photos from the 2009 leg of Pier Park that I never put up. I had the second page almost ready to go with a third one in progress. I combined them, did some minor clean up, forget about any names, no time, no memory. Is the Oregon Trifecta still on for 2010? The official web site looks like the internet equivalent of an abandoned house, but I thought I heard Choppy on the mic during the best trick contest at the Dew Tour. I talked to Don Bostick and he said it was still on. I mentioned the abandoned web property and he mumbled something about Choppy having fundraising problems. I have to paint my house this weekend.

Going over the mouse hole in Pier Park is pretty gnarly. Andy Macdonald made it over in his first try this year, I assume he made it over last year too. Andy took some video with a helmet cam for those of us who will likely never see the view from up there. Once you get to the point where it’s no sweat to make it over frontside or backside, what else is there? How about this frontside boardslide over the top? Steve Grover captured it with his point and shoot. Watch the video after the jump or check out the full size Shot of the Week.
UPDATE: Alternate views now available over on Earth Patrol Media.

I haven’t seen Mark do this before. It was pleasing to see. I’m sure it was more pleasing to be the one landing this. Enlarge-o-rama.
Be a good neighbor and come help out for a couple of hours at the Pier Park Pickup SOLV event tomorrow from 9am – 1 pm. We’ll be doing trash pickup and graffiti coverup at the skatepark. Breakfast treats from Tulip Pastry Shop and hot coffee from Starbucks.
I’m watching this first video by “Jimmy” that looks like it takes palce in Corvallis and an Harrisburg, Oregon, And I’m thinking, Damn! That’s the scene to be in. What do those guys need help with a skatepark for? Just kidding about the skatepark thing there BCSA, but your locals are tearing it up! The second video was shot at Pier Park by KC, and aside from Thomas shown in the bottom still shot, it mainly features Shane Bell, who looks like he has recovered from his bone break in his leg about a year ago.
Someone complained that I was completely slacking on the Pier Park stop of the 2009 Oregon Trifecta. So here it is, coming down to the wire for 2009. Ken Fillion on the invert here. Hooray! So obviously, I let some four months go by before I got around to this, so everything is less than fresh in my mind. Fortunately I wrote the wrap up months ago. Unfortunately I didn’t write the captions until last night during a rerun of Glee. I am gay. (?)
Oops! Forgot the link. Check out the Oregon Trifecta at Pier Park.
In case you missed it, it’s Skreech at the Trifecta, skating a deck with the nose broken off. I’m not sure how you do that. In any case, don’t feel bad for him, he’s got his own model out on Addikt now. Enlarge-o-rama.
