One of the lynchpins of the BMX vs. Skateboards in skateparks arguments is that BMXers are always leeching of of skateboarders efforts. Well, that’s not always true. The first half pipe I ever saw, rode, or photographed was built by BMX kids in the woods of suburban Naperville Illinois, some time around 1984-85. The skaters […]
Oh great, now I’m not the only wannabe skate-photog lurking in Portland. Hey Rich, how’s that new camera working out for you? Pretty good, huh? Just don’t get in my shots man, or I’ll sic Lil’ Pimp on you. Everyone is a photographer. Why not make the deck a little more crowded by checking out […]

Let this be a lesson to you all! Don’t leave a comment unless you are prepared for us to link to your bitchin’ art. Check out Patrujo’s photos on Flickr. There is a skateboard category, of course, which is my excuse for linking to the larger body with some of his more interesting work. Most […]
