There’s a thing called the Pepsi Refresh Project that is advertising disguised as public service, still, a great idea nonetheless. At least this form of advertisement does someone else some good too. Ideas are presented, and people vote on the project that deserves to get the cash, in this case, 250k.
Homebase skate shop is spearheading an effort to get the rest of the Bethlehem skate plaza funded. Right now they are in about 11th place. All you have to do is go to this Pepsi Refresh page and cast a vote tied to your Facebook login or an optional Pepsi login, which to me suggests you can both, as long as you have two email accounts. So Skate and Annoy readers, let’s add another drop in to the bucket of support already given. We may not have the draw of the Berrics, but we can still help out. It won’t cost you anything but 20 seconds of you time. Do it now, or at least befre the end of the month.

KC propped a video camera on a rock while he pitched in to help with Lincoln City 5. Check out the vid after the jump. Looks like no fun. no fun at all. Dude! Stop blowing out the public skateparks!

The crew at the Windells Camp has been busy. There are a couple of characters named Jamie and Billy who have been busy with the concrete. When finished, it will be 28,000 a square foot park. They have a 12,000 square foot indoor facility, and about 15,000 square feet in assorted skate trail-type terrain, so that would make them the largest skatepark in Oregon, unless you’re going to split hairs. Enlarge-o-rama, then head on over to Windells.

Checked out the new Kelso, Washington skatepark yesterday, where the locals were friendly and the concrete was…

The St Petersburg Times has an article on the Bro Bowl in Tampa and a documentary in progress. Trailer after the jump.

BCSA ART & MUSIC 2010 at the Vue, 517 SW 2nd St, Corvallis, OR on March 13. All proceeds from the silent auctions go towards the Eric Scott McKinley Skatepark improvements. Contact the BCSA for more information (bcskateboardingalliance@gmail.com). My lame ass will be in the Seattle burbs this weekend. On top of that, I didn’t get my art done in time. However, I did take five minutes out of my busy life to make this post, so I care… a little. (Next year for sure!) I believe MC is going to make good though.

Here’s two shots from Curtis Spencer down in Redmond, Oregon. The skaters name is Remy, or possibly Renny.

This week’s shot of the week comes all the way from Brazil. Luciano Fleck Peixoto taken by Aalexandre Vianna, and previously published in the Brazilian magazine Cemporcento SKATE back in 2008. That snake run is a DIY project that dates back to 1977. Check out the shot of the week.

Danimal sent in cell phone reconnaissance of new construction in Lincoln City, Oregon. The last addition was the amazing monster snake run. I’m not sure what the master vision is here. (More concrete – Duh!) It almost looks like a motocross track. Looks like another bowl too. They’re going to run out of square feet pretty soon.

This would be Brian Summers at Glenhaven in Portland. Photo by GVK.
