These days with the time change and bad weather right around the corner, I’m more worried about skating than snapping pics, hence this shot of Mark Conahan airing across the mouse hole at Pier Park. Good weather, good session lads. Click to enlarge.

Make hay while the sun shines

No doubt Tigard will be super crowded again this weekend. Check out this session from last Monday. The weather continues charming. Above: Joesf Heffner airs the big wall. A little ABC rhyme after the jump.

Its A Bowl!

Here’s the latest news from the windy, and very cold Columbia River Gorge skate scene. A backhoe broke ground one week ago on the new bowl. Mark and Graham are both diligently getting it done by working the landscape into submission and laying out the design. Now for those of you that need to see […]

Tigard in action

I finally made it to Tigard Oregon’s new park. It’s rad. Quirky, but fun. It was a total zoo there because the weather was nice, but it was still a blast. A few BMX guys were getting bent out of shape by some perceived snaking, but it was really just a case of too many […]

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y (night?) No, Sunday.

The granddaddy of NW skateboarding sites, Skate Oregon, has pictures of some interesting Dreamland concrete in Bay City Oregon. The grand opening was earlier today and sadly, those Scotsmen weren’t at the event, and neither were we. We didn’t even know it was going down, actually. Dang I need to look it up on the […]

The Doctor tames the beast of Tigard

Earlier in the week when we were having technical difficulties, Grover put together a clip he felt was not worthy of full GVK status, although I’m not sure why. We couldn’t post it because our web host sucks so EPM scooped us on our own content. Hopefully it will dry up by the time this […]

An alternate reality

You can buy fake fire hydrants for your dog to pee on, why not for a skatepark as well? Skatewave, the modular skatepark company you love to hate, has a line of skate obstacles called the Urban Series for simulating objects that you can, well, already buy. I’m sure they’ll argue that their knockoffs are […]

FINALLY!!! The skatepark is not your babysitter.

KATU News reports (Via Associated Press) that the father of a boy who fractured his skull at a skatepark is being charged with child neglect and criminal mistreatment. It seems dad left the six year old boy at the skatepark for a couple of hours. That’s the actual Medford skatepark in the background. We are […]

More Pier Park at one year

A few more Pier Park shots from last Saturday. I didn’t get my camera out until the end of the day when the session was winding down. I climbed up on the pipe for these shots. At least the light was good.
