Cha! Mash-up dem bloodclot babylon devil ma-chine!
why the fuck do u fags pot pictures of pools, your not welcome in corvallis or any of their pools that are still going, the only reason they are still going is because joey doesnt know about them and therefore you will all never know about them, eat shit and die skate nerds. 215’s for life!
“corvallis or any of their pools that are still going”
Thanks for the tip that there are a bunch empty pools in Corvallis that are skateable!
i would like to point out that i use a lower case ‘c” when posting and that’s not me
Man, I can’t believe we posted a picture of a pool that has been dug up and replaced with concrete and asphalt. What were we thinking?
(Other) Colin you dumbass. That pool is long dead and destroyed, by a couple years. You ought to know that if you’re such a local.
Next time we go to Corvallis, we aren’t asking for your permission anyway.
non-dumbass colin: We should get you registered so none can poach your name.
your a bunch of skate nerds get a fucking life, plus you cant skate these pools becasue they are permission pools. and fags like you dont get permission, suck dick and stay at pier park cock suckers! 215’s for life, oh and your more then welcome to skate corvallis park though, go wear a full face helmet and nikes.
your all a bunch of old carps
permission pools. that’s punk rock. colin, i think it’s about time for your paul simon and breathing exercises… we call it your “happy place.”
its not punk rock fag, its permission to keep dip shits like youa nd your gay freinds out. dont ruin a good thing. and yes that pool is infact my “happy place” wouldnt you be happy to skate and indoor pool? i know i am. hmmmm i think im going to go skate after class. suck dick fags.
good luck with the rain. and tell Mrs. Robinson that your book report’s going to be late
Before you leave school you should get permission to learn how to spell or write a decent sentence.
Old carps? What about trouts? Bluegills? Coho Salmon?
if i knew how to spell it wouldnt be punk rock, duh! carps are worthless bottom feeders like yourself, suck it, oh yeah schools out and im gonna skate my indoor pool with all my wounderful make believe friends
What is up with that evil colin? He is on the war path. Old Carps? Is that some gay slang, he’s really into the “you’re so gay” thing.yeah I like trouts better. Corvallis guys have always been a hospitable lot, back when the ramp was up you could roll into town skate, catch a punk show, and get drunk with cool girls. I’m such an old carp, skate nerd, gay, fag, eat shit and die-er.But At least I’m not a total asshole like evil colin. Sims Gold Bearings for life!
215’s BITcH
Motobuilt 215’s with the clear plastic copers? Santa Cruz Bevel for Life!
or is it motobilt?
Stuff i wasnt around to experience first hand, but I appropriate to give me an obscure sense of individuality and credibility in a world I find hard to understand and threatening so i lash out at others before they can do it to me, for life!
hell ya
colin (the stupid one), that pool was dead well before you could skate it. have some respect, this is a funeral after all.
…we still session the parking lot of that spot! dont blow it out! whatever…was skatin before you were born and will be skatin em after you quit! Localism is over because skateboarding is over…DONT DO IT! signed, Swoosh
“215
i use 215’s as backup in the bedroom…
Don’t back up around (unregistered) colin!
Lets get one thing straight I was the first person to find and ride The Southtown Peanut back in June of 1992. I had 215’s and did frontside double truckers over the light with Taylor,Tait,Noland and Musch at night. Got busted by the cops there with Taylor that same month. I rode that pool off and on over the years but the old East Indian guy was never having it. Summer of 2006 drained that pool of its two feet of eversludge that existed because the flood of 1996 broke it for good and all the toxic shit in southtown watertable always was seeping into the pool. Just enough so you couldn’t ride it without bailing it, liberation you would say. Had some good sessions then every retard that souldn’t even know where my curbs are blew it the fuck out. Thanks guys good work, this brings me to my second point whoever started peeling and taking the coping while the pool was still skateable beware of me. You are the dumbest sons of bitches ever, you should just give yourselves up right now and just let me kick your ass so it will be over with. I have lived in the Northwest all my life and lets just say I will eventually find out who pulled this off don’t worry I will. Just give it up infultrators stay out of the Valley of Sickness and Death or you will die by the sword.
Naming and claiming is for kooks.
First!
Z-Rollers 4 LIFE!!!
“if i knew how to spell it wouldnt be punk rock, duh!”
learning how to spell is quite useful if perhaps you need to get a job / life.
It isn’t punk rock to be linguistically illiterate.
90% of people on this site think spackle buckets are for spackle.
tedder laying down the law.

you make a gross error in assuming that 90% of the people on this site think.
To the corvallis ‘local’ colin, why dont you step up and tell everybody where you are really from? southern-suck ass California.
I have seen you sk8 colin, the only way for you to grind coping is to scum carve and hope your oversized 215’s stick out far enough to catch the lip……speaking of 215’s, those are huge, you wouldnt happen to be trying to compensate for your something small in your life would you?

215’s are for sloppy bitches who cant balance.
who the fuck moves from San Diego to Oregon to go to a fuckin community college any way? oh yeah, colin. what’s the matter, step on too many toes down there, claiming permission pools as your own, that you had to run North and hide?
you guys are funny…dont make Tedders and Corncob come over there. Spackle buckets are for choppin you up and buryin ye.
Santa Cruz Streetskate with indy 151’s blue krypto 70’s and homemade pvc copers skating Jan Ree ditch with Bailer, Gary Preem, Ma, Tokeshit, Lambo, JT, Brian Beard, and Jonny Studder in’83 for life!
Oh yeah, and Get’em Phil!
I think everyone here is missing the big picture. That pool and hotel was ripped out to serve a bigger purpose, to make room for an expanded veterinary clinic. Corvallis is better for it.
I’ll have to keep this in mind every time I go there for my dog’s yearly checkup. I lost a pool in town so my dog could have a better life.
Expanded veterinary clinic, I skated one once it had a left hand lobby and an exam room in the deep end it was kind of of a bag though with all these kooks in white coats that didn’t skate… PetsandAnnoy
was there doodie in it,jaun? by the way,is this the jaun that was in ingleside?
Yep, Juan and the same. we scooped the doodie and dead critters into the shallow and carved over them like stairs…epic! Who dis?
im not from san diego, ryah sheckler, if you talk so much shit back it up pussy
I was down there working with ya. C.L.
texan, oregonian, cali? C.L. Hmmm… need a bit more to go on.
this is chris…I was living in sd at the time..I figured this was you…hell yeah dude.. damn,we had a ton of states on that build huh?
skateandannoy is a bunch of pussies
“i eat peepole” is Colin again. Colin you twerp, if all your comments are going to be so pointlessly boring, unimaginative and cowardly I’m going to start deleting them.
Yeah quite a few, I had a blast in Austin and San Antonio wanna get back to Texas skate all the new stuff and eat good food and hang with southern girls.
You eat “Pee Pole”? whatever… Freudian slips for life!
colin (the stupid one). you are an angry little man. go skate it off yo.
p.s. remember when you (all of you except for maybe stupid colin) were stoked just to see another kid on a skate? the good ol’ days i like to call em!
your still a bunch of pussies
Colin, you’ve littered this thread with more:
“your gay”, “fags” & “pussies” than could be uttered by a group of middle school jocks in a year.
Thou protest too fucking much.
Im pulling your bitch-ass card fool. Either you’re a 14 yr old jock, or a total closet pee-pole eater. Man I read this whole thread and I think you even called a girl a fag.(watch out Paige, he seems pretty tough) At this point, there is no point. You have said nothing that contributes to this scene or skateboarding in general. You’ve talked some shit, acted mocho,fucking honcho. I haven’t been to this site in awhile and Im starting to remember why. It’s because when Im not skating and I have a minute I like to check out parks and shit about our local scene on the net. I dont like seeing insecure brats I could fully clobber, bug the shit outta people who wanna talk about skating.
If you’re too hardcore to talk then go skate, but the only lesson you’ve taught anyone is that even skate blogs harbor trolls. You guys are fuckin everywhere. I hope you wasted as much time reading my post as I’ve had to reading yours so I would finally suggest that you offer up your address so someone can knock the shit out of you, or fuck off.
Well said JakeandAnnoy! Grown ups for life!
