Beavertron novice roundup

Rick went to the meeting and wrote a recap. My favorite part is this excerpt. The committee and THPRD have no plan at all to keep more advanced skaters or bikes out of the novice park. In fact, they seemed very surprised, and somewhat dismayed, that the “advanced” (in years, if not ability) skaters and […]

While you were sleeping…

…they tore down the “skatepark” in Cannon Beach, Oregon. The old park, seen in all it’s glory above, thanks to Skateoregon.com, was more of a spot than a skatepark. It was less than stellar. You can catch a few frames of skating “action” at Seeside in the GVK episode Skate Ghost, at the 6:21 mark. […]

What to do in the meantime? […]

Another beautiful day

Did you bring a shovel?

My brother sent me these shots of Whistler Skatepark in Vancouver Canada.

Oregon Cannonball Run 2008

I’ve been making half hearted attempts to put together a Cannonball Run of Oregon skateparks for several years. The Cannonball Run is one of those ideas that sounds fun but is actually quite a chore if you decide to undertake it. Every time I would suggest it I would get a few non committal grunts […]
