The Benton County Skateboard Alliance is having their Art auction/bands/beer benefiting their skatepark in Corvallis. Im coming from Vancouver with some killer “Old School” skater art. Hope to see anybody possible there as well. Rumor, and I only speculate on rumors, is that the S and A guys may have something up as well? Can that be confirmed? Last year was a good time. From my understanding, they have really stepped it up this year. Check them out!!!
The BCSA is hosting our 3rd Annual Art and Music Benefit on Saturday, March 13th! Proceeds will go to Phase 1 of our plan to expand and improve Eric Scott McKinley Skatepark in Corvallis. This ALL AGES benefit will start at 6pm and will be held at Vue on 517 SW 2nd Street in Corvallis (the former location of the Strega Restaurant). We will have live music, a silent art auction, wine & beer (ID required), food, raffles and radness! Check out some of the art on the Art 2010 page of our website http://bcskateboardingalliance.org/ !
Tickets $5, sold at Peak Sports, The Uprise, Grass Roots, Sacred Art Tattoo, and Happy Trails in Corvallis. Get your tickets in advance. Tickets available at the door the night of the show
I enjoy a wide variety of music, but live music is never that great, last years show is a perfect example. even pressed against a wall at maximum distance from the speakers it was still just a bunch of really loud noise with somewhat of a drum beat. but like I said I am not going for the music, i’m going for the cause and I will definitely be bringing earplugs and an Ipod…..
We appreciate your support nweyesk8 (we will even reimburse you for the ear plugs)and yours too Stan (your art is killer). To tie this to the topic… MC (aka Antigravity Press) donated two prints and a pair of draft comic panels which will be in the silent art auction. Thanks MC, we hope to see you at the show.
long boarding, or what i like to call wrong-boarding is all over corvallis. get your self some flippy floppy’s, shades, a bright colored shirt and you are in. what I do not like about long boarders is they consider each other as skaters and say that “yes I skateboard” no you dont. you push a longboard around and line it up w/ the sidewalk every time there is a crosswalk. Its is a lot different if you go fast down hills, but you dont need a longboard to do that. “…oh thats cool I cant ride those short boards, they are too hard to balance on”-some wrong-boarder that my roommate talked to. Shit its sunny, time to switch into shorts and a little tankie, grab my sweet Arbor board and a Dutch Bros, yeww!! sup ladies?!
Oh where is the BCSA post…. seems someone thinks that lego skateboarding is more important than a sweet art show/skatepark benefit/concert/beer/wine/food/good times…….or i could just be smoking meth.
again what is wrong with longboards? I understand your point Collin, that a lot of longboarders are retards, but we shouldn’t hate on the board itself but on the kook giving longboards a bad reputation.

Gravity and Friction are more than enough drama for me!

I guess I’m okay with loving Dan Gesmer since he’s so good looking and all, but Todd Falcon just grates on me…

while I look forward to the art aspect of the BCSA show, I don’t look forward to crappy live music……

Colin, you’re getting on my nerves. You have your own site, feel free to make your posts on your order and schedule.

Check out Shane Allen on you-tube. he skates a longboard exactly like you would a standard board. Street, pools, bowls, whatever.

Plenty of kooks ride short boards too. I guess you
should stop skateboarding.
