Good Vibes, Pier Park Rules.

I don’t know how this park compares to the new Upland, but the consensus around PDX is that we have a world class park. More pictures later. This is just to tide you over. That’s Shawn Reinert airing out of the pipe into the deep end. Click it to make him big.

Last Night PT 2

What can I say, I’m a little giddy about this damn park. Waiting for my batteries to charge up before I head back. Could have uses a few pops of the external flash, but no matter, the park isn’t going anywhere. Click to see it bigger.

Last Night

Last night. Four minute exposure. Mark and I running around popping the flash. It’s drizzling there right now. Hopefully it will clear up soon! A couple lucky kids who were “pressing glass” sleeping in their car after getting booted from the pipe at 4am – they got to get a quick 5 minute session at […]

Twas the Night Before X-Treme-mas

Yep. This is what it looks like tonight as we camp out to keep the poachers and graffiti losers out of the park for one last night so everything will look pretty for the Mayor and Nike. I’m predicting it will be tagged by Wednesday. See you tomorrow morning. Be prepared for way to much […]

Skate News Roundup: October Week 2

Moving on. Nothing conveys the excitement of skateboarding better than an article titled “Supervisors Rethinking Skate Park”! Who are […]

Heat Transfers Still Suck

It’s just my opinion. That’s all. Skateboards should be screen printed directly is all I am saying. If you are waiting for your Black Label Emergency boards to ship, you shouldnt be waiting much longer. They ran into a problem with the transfer papers which caused a lag on getting them printed. They are supposed […]

Like Butter Baby!

Hey everyone! Choke on these pictures of Pier Park, opening tomorrow, and then don’t ever, ever come here to skate it please. There’s nothing to see here. Move along.

Halfpipe Honeyz??

I’ve looked at the website (www.halfpipehoneyz.com) but I still can’t figure out what it is or why. It appears to be a site for slutty models who can be booked for events. But it also has skatepark reviews. The latest one gives the Cocoa Beach, Florida park 4 out of 5 stars, and it’s obvioulsy […]
