DOS bowl

Two D’s at DOS Bowl

Two mediocre shots of Dave and Damien from some recent sessions at the DOS bowl in Portland. Mediocre because of the photographer, not the skaters. Enlarge the action after the jump. They recently added lights to the bowl and now you can actually see back there. Where as it used to be like skating in […]

Graveside

Ineffective Blatant Localism

Apparently all you have to do is ask. These images are from last weekend. According to our anonymous source, a surf shop gave up the location with only a slight runaround. Come to think about it, that’s the same way I found out about the Nude Bowl as a youth visiting from the Midwest. I […]

Separated at birth

Separated at birth

Separated at birth: This photo of my old friend Jay taken circa ’85 in suburban Illinois, and this photo of Mike Blake at the North Vancouver Canadian Nationals in 1980. No, not the skaters or the action by any means, but the graffiti for sure. It even takes the hatred a little longer to filter […]

Edger

Ain’t talkin bout love!

I been to the edge, and there I stood and looked down. You know I lost a lot of friends there baby, I got no time to mess around. So if you want it got to bleed for it baby. John Aguilar sent in this Jeremy Brown photo of his buddy John Veitch grabbing a […]

X-Court

X-Court in Arizona

X-Court is where you go to fight Extreme!™ traffic tickets. It’s a weak joke, I know. I found these pics at Dan Hughes’ Northwest Skater site. He’s one traveling, documenting mofo. Doesn’t he know that Arizona is not in the Northwest?

Private spot in Oregon

All I want for Christmas

All I want for Christmas is a private bowl like this. Well not exactly like this, but you get the idea. These shots are about a month shy of being two years old. Since then this now complete private spot in Oregon has appeared in print and video too, if I recall correctly. Those walls […]

Extreme Skateboarding

Extreme stock photography

I love iStockphoto. I’ve even purchased a couple of pictures for use on Skate and Annoy, non skateboarding pictures, mind you. The big picture on the left came up on a Google alert today, and all it said was “Extreme Skateboarding,” so I had to check. A cursory search for other “Extreme Skateboarding” images brought […]

Santa Ana

Santa Ana days

Jason Corley sent in a couple shots of Santa Ana California spots circa 1984: I was just cruising around the site and thought you might appreciate a photo of what was probably the best natural ditch in Orange County back in the day. This is/was Flower Street. Located at the end of Flower Street in […]

Holly Farm session

Old timey truck drivers and lumberjack convention

Or as Pete Lewis likes to call it: Old fatties skating terribly small skatepark features. Bigger after the jump. Sorry Egbert, you didn’t make the cut.
