Tillamook spot check

I went to Pacific City, Oregon towards the end of the summer. Remember summer? Fer sure dude. I had to get some radical sandboarding action in. On the way home through Tillamook I spotted these banks on a building that was a real estate agency, if my memory serves me correctly. Tillamook is a bit of a ghost town. At least it is at 8:00 on a Sunday night. I recently switched from eating Tillamook yogurt to Chobani. I “ate locally” for long time but I wanted to ditch some of that sugar.

Drive by shooting.

And here they are, up close and personal. Looks more fun than a lot of crap you see in some skateparks.

These are the aforementioned sandboards that we spoke about getting radial on. My kids boarded the hell out of some sand. My feet were too big for the bindings, or believe me, I would have killed the dunes. Killed it, I tell you.

  1. I understand the appeal of a product with a fake italian name, “it’s like I’m eating breakfast in an exotic locale far away from this laundromat,” you could buy plain Tillamook or Nancy’s yogurt and add fresh local organic fruits and nuts.

    1. I could, if I had a bunch of time to kill. The name wasn’t what sold me, it was the list of ingredients.

      I’m glad we can argue about yogurt here.

    2. I thought it was supposed to be a fake Greek name.

  2. I didn’t realize Italy was famous for yogurt.

      Because they aren’t, not especially anyway. Lots of good yoghurt to be found in (western) Europe, including ‘our’ dutch yoghurt.

      …You’re hopping yoghurt brands this week, I’m so excited! I guess Chobani runs a pretty tight art direction department.
      I’m glad we can have this dairy talk on ‘SnAcKs’ (SnA controls Kilwag’s sugar).

  3. Nancy’s fuhkin rules. But I’m always down for Brown Cow – Maple.

  4. Yogurt sucks. Those weird blocks are kind of fun though.

    Jeez “Kil”, you’re even sandbaggin’ it when it comes to sandboarding now? “C’mon” (a quote from that song “Harry May”… should probably have an exclamation mark).

  6. There used to be an amzingly bad skatepark there. Worse than the yogurt.

  8. I thought that might’ve been the case.
