Oregon Trifecta

Oregon Trifecta 2009 dates and 2008 wrap up.

The 2009 dates for the 2009 Oregon Trifecta have been up for a while. The big surprise this year is the addition of two extra days of qualifying events, bringing the grand total up to five consecutive days of skateboarding contests. So it’s official, event organizers are definitely trying to kill me! The web site is mum, so I’m not exactly sure why the extra qualifying days have been added. I would have guessed it was to make the big three days shorter, but the schedules posted don’t reflect that. Also very interesting, this year marks a return to Pier Park (!) a fan favorite, and once again it’s an all Oregon event. Qualifiers on August 5th and 6th at West Linn (It’s been a long time…) and Tigard, respectively. The main events are at Lincoln City, Oregon on Friday, August 7th, Tigard, Oregon on Saturday, August 8th and Portland’s Pier Park on Sunday, August 9th.

There’s a little over a month to go, so I’ve rounded up 2008 Trifecta coverage from all points, after the jump. If I missed your coverage, let me know and I’ll add it.

Go211.com was the organization running the live webcast from last year’s Trifecta. They have an overabundance of video footage broken down by individual riders and qualifying heats, etc. You could waste a whole day over there. Looks like they had a photog over there too, because they have photos for each leg of the event.

    this is pretty sweet. nice photos. this has nothing to do w/ Tirfecta, but there is a skateboard contest @ Harrisburg on the 4th of July, Team Woodchuck and the BCSA are putting it on, along with some help from the jesus loving church accross the street.
