Cannon Beach complete

Steve Grover reports that the new Cannon Beach skatepark by Placed to Ride is done. If it’s done, why is no one skateboarding in these pics? I can already hear the complaints about how much better the old park was. Brad says it’s small but fun. According to the Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce Information […]

Airspeed concrete crew at Gabriel Park

Friday T&A on S&A: ERA Now!

And the winner for the highest glass ceiling on a skatepark builder’s concrete team has got to go to Airspeed. This is a detail of one of their pictures of recent progress at the Gabriel Park site. There’s probably a woman on another concrete crew out there somewhere else, but three? Yes, I know there […]

UK skatepark

Saffron Walden and Cantelowes

What does Dreamland concrete look like in the UK? The same as it does here, except really grainy and in black and white apparently. I’ve heard about the gray weather there, but come on. Check out this clip that looks like it’s from the UK’s Sidewalk Mag: Check out this Kevin Parrott crafted clip from […]

Snake runs and girls

Girls who snake

On top is a picture of another modern snake run. This one in Apache Junction, AZ comes from CarveStarved, a nice site that “wants to be a chronicle of the lives of everyday women who skateboard, to promote the growth of skateboarding among adult women, and to provide a place to meet other women to […]

Fort Pierce skatepark finished

Fort Pierce is the name

OK, so the St Lucie, Florida skatepark is actually the Fort Pierce skatepark. And who needs construction photos when it’s already finished? More pictures from Team Pain. Congratulations to Tito, who is on his honeymoon. That’s Adam Calderwood from team Pain’s concrete crew in the top photo.

Hood River skatepark

Hood River is a skateboarder’s tourist trap

I made an unexpected last minute trip to Hood River on Sunday afternoon. When I go there I recognized a few people from the Portland/Vancouver area, and as I was leaving about half the locals from Pier Park showed up. Hood River is turning into a really nice little park. They keep adding onto it […]

The park at Melbourne

These are pics of a semi new skatepark in Harbor City, Florida called The Park of Melbourne: 12,000 sq. ft. indoor skateboard park. Features a 9 foot vert wall. Indoor bowl with mini taco and half cradle, with wall ride. Large street course with moveable elements. Full audio system with large projectors playing skate videos […]

St.Lucie Extras

St. Lucie Extras Fort Pierce

Here’s a few more pics I misplaced when posting the St. Lucie skatepark construction progress photos. As usual, they are courtesy of Tito at Team Pain. That snake pit/zone looks fun. Update: Turns out this is close to St. Lucie County but is actually located in Fort Pierce, so it’s the Fort Pierce skatepark.

30th anniversary Indy tour

30th anniversary Indy tour

The 30th anniversary Independent Trucks tour is coming to a skatepark, DVD, and Thrasher magazine near you. A great big list of the pros on the tour, but they are doing it in shifts, so it’s anyone’s guess who will be at what stops. Not true. The Indy tour site has the tentative roster for […]
