…and my camera bag in Lincoln City, for crying out loud. Now I have to drive back in the morning and go get it. I was camping there since Friday. At the camp site there were no less than five kids on skateboards being towed around the camp site behind bicycles, three of them on longboards. Thanks to everyone who ordered a shirt, I will be packing them up to ship out on Wednesday. And now back to regularly scheduled programming, thanks to Carl Warren who does not live in Hood River. Another installment of Skateboard Action. Dig the U-shaped slide.

This week’s Shot of the Week is Casey Morrow bombing a hill in the Dalles, Oregon, on something called the Skyline. Holy cow, it’s a guy on an extended wheelbase skateboard doing downhill on Skate and Annoy. Guess what haters, it’s all SKATEBOARDING! This is a cropped version of Carl Warren’s original photo. Check out the full frame Shot of the Week.

Now that MC’s bowl is in the finishing stretch, here’s something else to follow. Josef Heffner has demoed his DIY backyard bowl complex and in favor of a new expanded layout. Nearby, Danimal is working on building his own board press, to be constructed with veneer he plans to buy here. If you’ve got something you’re working on, we’d love to hear from you too.

A couple more pages from the 1987 Skateboard Action book, thanks again to Hood River’s photog in residence, Carl Warren. Click to enlarge. You might notice that the photo has been retouched heavily, airbrushed to make it look a little like a painting. This is pre photoshop kids. I wonder why they went through the trouble.

The Brain Injury Association of America wants you to wear a helmet while skateboarding. Who knew there was such an association? Do you have to have a brain injury to join, or do they give you one when sign up? Maybe someone with brain damage chose the name, because it sounds like an organization in favor of brain injuries. It’s obvious that the art director who chose this skateboarding butt shot had a brain injury. “Mom, Dad, I’m going to be on a poster!” – Thanks to Danimal for the photo.
