Nope. It’s not blocked or being withheld. We’re just waiting for a few straggling pictures to come in, and then we’ll do one day at time starting Tuesday. In the meantime, if anyone else has it up, send in the ink. It looks like there was actually supposed to be a live webcast via 411 according to the Trifecta web site. Did anyone catch it? NWeyesk8, you owe ChrisBennett an apology for heckling him in the comments.

If it’s just results you want check out some of our previous posts from each event day.

So my buddy and I set on a search for the Skate Ghost along the Oregon coast, although we were one step behind actually sessioning with him, we did capture some of our own footage. Please contact me at this site if you actually see any skate ghost sessioning. Enjoy the show Peace Off Homies.

Buck Smith won the Masters. Here he is in a non-contest clover bowl run.

Pro contest was rained out, but the capsule dork session raged for about 10 minutes. That’s Jesse Nelson in the corner. Masters and women’s division squeaked in before the rain. I didn’t hear them announce the women’s results over the microphone for some reason, but the Masters came in Salba, Grover (!), Ngoho, Charnoski, and Buck Smith with the win. The pro contest may be going down at Glenhave and or Tobin’s house (no spectator’s obviously) as we speak, but there wasn’t much of a unified vision being presented, so I went home.

If you have anything left after the Trifecta, the contractor plans to remove the latest round of graffiti from the new Extreme Sports Park at Pacific Community Park starting at 10 a.m. on Monday, August 13. They got several gallons of a graffiti removal product called “EnviroStrip” from the city of Vancouver that Grindline also used on the park once. It works very well and is environmentally friendly. You just paint it on, let it sit and pressure wash it off.

If anyone out there is interested in helping with this removal effort, and is available during this time, we would LOVE the help. There is a whole lot of paint to remove this time – on pretty much on every part of the park (I won’t post graffiti photos because it’s like getting up again isn’t it? I cobbled the above together from one of the photos.).

If you can make it, just show up at the park after 10 a.m. and ask for Steve Ambuehl. He will provide brushes, gloves, the product and the pressure washer. You just need to bring yourself, some drinking water, sunscreen (if it’s actually sunny), and comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting really dirty.

For more information, call Steve at 254-7056 or e-mail him at steve@thompsonbrosexcavating.com.

But can we skate when we’re done with the cleanup?

Masters Division 1st Place: Glen Charnoski. Photographers were thick as flies. I had to take this on from overhead to be able to get anything.

Masters Division 3rd Place: Buck Smith. (Yeah, I know his foot is amputated, but the other good shot I got of him was an invert and I didn’t want to use it.)

1st Place Ladies. I believe this is Julie Kindstrand

MAsters Division 2nd Place: Steve Alba. This was not a lien -to -tale but the end of a long grind with a nose grab that he tweaked before reentry.

Pro results: 1st place: Rune Glifberg. 2nd place: Sergie Ventura. 3rd place: Benji Galloway.

Masters: 1st place: Glen Charnoski. 2nd: Steve Alba. 3rd place: Buck Smith.

Ladies: 1st place: Julie Kindstrom. 2nd: Jessica Starkweather. 3rd place Holly Lyons.

Local Shane Bell (who placed 15th overall) was the second person to make it over the door today, and third person ever! The first two were pros, by the way. (Peter Hewitt months ago and Steve Alba during the Trifecta Grand Masters earlier in the day – C ed) He made his backside, and pulled it off a couple times today, twice in a row even. Rune Glifberg was the third person to make it over the door Saturday. He made it a handful of times as well, both front side and backside. Benji Galloway also made it over, backside as well.

I got this one posted an hour earlier tonight. I even took time off to put my kid to bed, eat dinner with my wife and watch part of a movie. That’s right. I’m a family man.
