Spin the Iceman
Portland skateboarders foiled a possibly deadly assault on a woman, knocking out the ice pick wielding assailant with a skateboard and holding him until police arrived. Good job citizens. Were these skaters the PDX equivalent of the Red Angels of Dragnet City? (Noprize anyone?) Nope, they were skating a recently built concrete ramp outside of River City Bicycles, where the owner of the shop had the ramps built specifically “for learning tricks on.” While he doesn’t specify whether it was built for skateboards or bicycles, he credits the “quarter pipe” with saving the woman’s life. OK, we can give him that. There’s room for bikes and skaters to get along in Portland (BIke lane! Bike Lane!) especially if you keep building spots for us… As long as you look up the definition of quarter pipe. Is it just me, or does that look like banks and not tranny?

Those are definitely banks. Really cool story though!
Not even bobies bicyciling can stop the blood an feathers flying. Who shot theshot who got shot tonight.
Surely someone was gathering footy during this epic altercation.
A similar thing happened when my homies and me were skating some curbs at the Acme in PA late one night. Skaters are an old lady’s best friend under certain circumstances. For all the damage bikes do to skateparks they are useless in doing damage to da krimin ill element.
I hit my dad with a skateboard once…
Once. (Johnny Dangerously reference. Yea, I know it’s lame if I spell it out, but it’s rather obscure.)
Johnny Dangerously was a varging hilarious movie.
