Brookings Weekend

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.

Check out: Brookings Weekend

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

  • chris-owner from concrete pirate sk8 shop

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

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

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

  • Wow, I’m just shocked to see a story done and posted by the Eggman. Wow.

  • damn illinois transplants, they took r jobs!

  • oh yeah – heywood – who really is FROM portland anyways? Emanual hospital 1972 represent! Grew up in Seattle shit we used to drive the 5 hours to skate that turd in Salem and then 2 hours more just to skate Amazon. Kids these days.. now get off my lawn.

    Eugenes’ Amazon piss dish info yo. Feel free to add your snide bits to that park or any others – i don’t give a rats derriere

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

  • A

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

  • See…”Kilwag” is not an O.G. Oregon local…Didnt know about amazon?!?!? WTF…At your age your should have built it…Damn..

  • it’s one of eugene’s parks, rough, small, fun

  • A

    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.

  • thats the Amazon

  • A

    Where is the park in the first shots at? Looks crappy but fun.
