Another milestone has been reached. The Wasatch County Skatepark in Heber City, Utah is 300th skatepark to open that has received a donation form the Tony Hawk Foundation. You can read the press release after the jump, or head on over to Skate Utah to see pics of the actual park. It sure looks inviting from the shot above.

This week’s Shot of the Week is a Kevin Porterfield shot of Gabe Stoltz taken at the Dallas, Oregon skatepark last week. I didn’t know Dallas had a skatepark, but SkateOregon did. Yes, he landed it. Although yesteryear’s toy skateboards were cheap plastic toys, they still rolled better on those loose bearings than the equivalent wooden toy boards you find at Target or WalMart today. There’s a bonus shot after the jump, or skip to the full frame version of the Shot of the Week.

Head on over to Antigravity Press and congratulate Mark Conahan on reaching the 500 mark with his H.O.M.O.S. comics. Like fine wine, (not that I’d know) they are getting better with age. He’s had a run of some good ones lately. Congratulations!

Sessions presents the 10th annual Tim Brauch Memorial Contest is being held this weekend at Lake Cunningham Regional Skate park in San Jose. We might even have some photos coming to us. I wonder how the documentary is coming.

…He just loved to live that way. And he loved to steal your money. Can you blow out a spot across the street from the Police station? Battle Ground, Washington has more interesting terrain than just a skatepark going for it.

Aw what the hell, it’s Paul Fujita day today. When he’s not working at Cal Skate or running the Zeitgeist Gallery, he’s appearing in Portland Monthly Magazine or on Fuel TV. Aside from making art and being a newish father and a husband, I suppose he might even find time to skate. [Photo: Bottom left – PORT. Right – Portland Monthly ]

Pierre Andre Senizergues. I didn’t even know his last name wasn’t “Andre.” After playing third fiddle in the freestyle world in the 80’s he founded Etnies, among other things, and now he’s part of the great Freestyle Conspiracy Theory. The Los Angeles Times has a photo spread of his beach house in Newport Beach, California. Some parts of it are no different than any other rich guy’s nice house, but some aren’t. For instance, it looks like he’s working on acquiring every single bit of skate furniture out there, which was kind of a surprise. I figured maybe he’d be burnt out on that. There’s some interesting details lurking in these pictures. Check it out. – Thanks to Paul Fujita for the tip.

Spohnranch has a new street plaza opening in the Inglewood neighborhood of Wilmington California. It’s replacing some prefab ramps with prefab concrete. They actually placed the whole park on the existing slab, traced it, and then cut out the concrete and laid the new pieces in place. They predict a lot of communities will be replacing metal and wood prefab parks this way as it allows them to avoid the expense of re-pouring all the flat. Seems like it would work fine for a street plaza. This one was co-designed by Paul Rodriguez Jr. and features replicas of LA spots including the DWP granite benches, Fairfield ledges and LA High banks. They have a Flickr stream of the installation and a short video that you can watch after the jump. Not much to it really. The park is located at 325 Neptune Ave, Wilmington, CA 90744. Opening ceremony is September 27

Opening tonight at the Goodfoot, Portland artist Klutch and his show titled Planet Of The Kooks. The installation is going to be about 30 feet long and made entirely of old skateboards. Here’s some info from the press release. “With his latest offering, Planet Of The Kooks, Portland artist Klutch delivers a vision both inspirational and dystopian. Via an installation/mural made entirely from old skateboard decks, Klutch has manifested a world where people’s trash has been reclaimed by The Kooks, into a space where flocks of birds and birdhouses hover over adobe villages rising from clouds. As protection from evil all are guarded by several primitive masks converted into elaborately decorated surveillance and communication devices.” This is the most stoked I have been on a show in years and I really hope you can join me at tomorrow’s opening. The entire installation is over 30 feet long and includes over 50 pieces. As always Monkeytek will  be spinning some serious dubstep thunder so you know it’s going to be fun. September 25th – 5-11 PM The Goodfoot, 2845 SE Stark, Portland, OR
