SOTW 4-28-08: The Challenge

This week’s Shot of the Week is from Damienhialation, and it’s called the challenge. Dan told the kids that whoever grinded off his dollar could have it. He’s a giver. Yeah great, but did they get the beer too? I mean, by kids I assume he means freshly turned 21 year olds. Check out the […]

Happy Valley (skate)park planning meeting

Local skater Rick Lai has been working toward a Happy Valley skatepark for a while. Here’s the latest development by way of the North Clackamas Parks & Recreation District: In March, North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District purchased 33 acres of property off SE 162nd Avenue in Happy Valley.

Villa Spica Japan

Concrete Surf in Japan

Today is the day I retread all of yesterday’s posts. This is Concrete Surf at a place called Villa Spica in Japan. 1000 Yen will get you a full day of skating. As of Today that was about $9.56. There aren’t many photos on the official web site. I got these from Black Flys Japan, […]

St. Lucie Florida skatepark progress

Fort Pierce Florida construction progress

UPDATE: We originally erroneously reported this as the St. Lucie skatepark. While it is close to St. Lucie County, it’s actually located in Fort Pierce, making it the Fort Pierce skatepark. Tito from Team Pain sent in some construction pics of the Fort Pierce skatepark several weeks ago, so it’s likely much different looking by […]

The snake run that skates like a pool…

… which is alright by me, thank you very much. The Airspeed crew was out on a Sunday taking advantage of a break in the rain. What a great setting for the Gabriel Park skatepark. Probably won’t be too hard to get the family to go along to this one if you can get them […]

San Jose Metro on Lake Cunningham skatepark

San Jose Drama

The new Lake Cunningham Park set to open looks amazing in the pictures, but it’s rubbing the locals the wrong way. Kind of like a Klamath Falls situation squared. The San Jose Metro reported: Although everyone agrees that the park is a massive benefit to San Jose, they admit that the mandatory pads rule might […]

Pier Park Pride

Pier Park Pride Day

Last Saturday there were two events coincidentally planned for the same day at Portland’s Pier Park. One was a neighborhood cleanup championed by Mark Conahan and the other was some sort of Pier Park locals appreciation event organized by Chris Nukala. There was a short speech and some short spot-driven contests with plenty of giveaways. […]

SkaterPede from Wall of Gray

Skaterpede

Check out this video titled Skaterpede from Wall of Gray. Yes, it’s Wall of Gray week on Skate and Annoy. He’s got a different take on skate videos, and a nice break from the usual.

Bellingham Washington

Bellingham Washington session

Frequent tipster and commentor John Aguilar sent in some pics from a recent session at Bellingham Washington’s skatepark. The riders himself, John V, and Jeremy Brown, in an order that I can’t quite make out, except I can tell you for sure that the bank shot is not John A. I’m not sure what’s up […]
