As we were pulling up to the park yesterday I remarked how small this park seems now, compared to the vast expanse it felt like when it first opened. Battle Ground, Washington has a lot to offer, at least in terms of skateparks. I took some photos yesterday, catch them after the jump.
Battle Ground Locals: Two Taylors of one City
OK, I only got two names, both of them were Taylor. Unless that’s the joke they play on photographers. “If anyone asks your name, tell them it’s Taylor.” To the rest of you, I apologize. If you know a name, please leave it in the comments. Update: Got the names, thanks to Dallas. Horizontal shots can be enlarged.
This is Chris Grasser.
This is Jed.
Chris Grasser
Jed.
This is Dallas Adam Raatz
Here’s one Taylor
Here’s the second Taylor. This is a transfer up and over the barrier. I caught one in a better position, but there’s a guy directly behind him that confuses the image.
I think I was starting to annoy the videographer by poaching all his action. At least I stayed out of his way. This is KB.
Horrible shot of a nice big backside spin. KB.
And then there was this dinosaur clogging up the session like a flock of birds in a US Airways jet. Stop pretending you’re young before someone has to crash land in the river! Oh wait, that’s Grover!
More Jed
The End. Whatever happened to that kid who threatened to beat up all the out town visitors?

for me it is a duty, to annoy the filmer. I like to get in the shot and do the “hi mom” thing as iff I were on “good morning america” how about the filmer blowing the “footy” and “exposure” his buddy naturally got in this skate and annoy post? I’m sick of the need to document everything. live for the moment not the memory
Zed-word
Awesome photos, awesome park. Making me consider moving out west after I am done saving Japan.

He was subsequently exposed as an out of towner and he got beat up.
