FIRETRUCK – iretr = !
Skate Daily posted about a contest at the Chili Bowl. Thrasher has the video clip. I thought this Josh Mattson Miller Flip was sick but wait ’till you see the frontside 540 done properly.
Doppelgangers of the Oregon Trifecta
Skate and Annoy’s pro contest coverage of the rained out Battle Ground Washington leg of the Oregon Trifecta that was moved to Tobin’s backyard bowl in Portland (Whew!) comes from Shawn Reinert. I don’t think Tobin envisioned this when he built his bowl. Talk about stoked! These two pics are some of Shawn’s longer exposures that picked up flashes from the other multiple cameras present, and the results are strange. Old expanding sponge head on the left is Donovan Rice. The lien-to-tail on the six wheeled skateboard is Josh Sandoval. More weird shit and conventional pictures as well in the feature. Check out: 2007 Oregon Trifecta – Tobin’s Bowl
Trifecta overkill day three: Battle Ground (WA?)
What? You didn’t know that Battle Ground, Washington is located in Oregon? Well don’t tell anyone. Yes, the pro event got rained out and moved to Tobin’s bowl, but no, it’s not covered in this feature. It’s coming Monday. Until then you can check out the Women’s and Master’s event coverage with a little bit of the warmups for the locals and pros. That’s Jesse Nelson entertaining the crowd during the rain delay. Thanks to Shawn Reinert for the extra photos that don’t match the color balance or exposures of mine in the slightest. What can I say, I just want to make Jim Gray happy.

Trifecta overkill day two: Portland’s Pier Park
Yes, some sick skating went down at Portland’s Pier Park that truly left the crowd dumbfounded. Day two of our Oregon Trifecta overkill coverage is up. Check out: 2007 Oregon Trifecta – Portland’s Pier Park.
Trifecta overkill day one: Lincoln City
Well here it is finally, the first of way too many pictures of the Oregon Trifecta. This is Lincoln City coverage. It’s a lot to digest. There are a lot of pictures included that probably shouldn’t have made the cut, but we figure people want to see more and not less. Right? They don’t all have to be Kodak moments if it’s someone you know. If you find it overwhelming then maybe you should wait for our “Best Of Gallery.” Until then, enjoy!

Delayed
That’s right, we’re pushing back our coverage a day. The pics are sorted and the coding is done, but I want to try and track down some names and polish it up a little instead of rushing it out. Look for it mid-day on Wednesday. I’ll tell you though, I’m about Trifecta-ed out by now. Anyone else? That’s Benji Galloway Kevin Kowalski peaking out below his knee.
First out of the gate.
The Skateboard Archives beat us to the punch with four pages of Lincoln City Trifecta pictures, including incidentals like this shot of Choppy Omega, Duane Peters and Ben Schroeder, which is a nice touch. Do those guys wave to their mothers with that finger?
2007 Oregon Trifecta coverage blocked?
Nope. It’s not blocked or being withheld. We’re just waiting for a few straggling pictures to come in, and then we’ll do one day at time starting Tuesday. In the meantime, if anyone else has it up, send in the ink. It looks like there was actually supposed to be a live webcast via 411 according to the Trifecta web site. Did anyone catch it? NWeyesk8, you owe ChrisBennett an apology for heckling him in the comments. If it’s just results you want check out some of our previous posts from each event day.
Trifecta Pro Battle Ground at Tobin’s
Battle Ground’s pro event is going down right now at Tobin’s house. I’m not sure if it’s still World Cup sanctioned, but that’s where it’s going down. It’s a non-spectator event. Even if you get in you can’t see through the wall of riders to take pictures, so I’m sitting this one out boys, with my condolences to Tobin’s wife on this Sunday evening… The picture above is from one of the dig sessions in 2005.
