Western Washington Roadtrip

Don’t be so gay. You’re the fag. Am not, you homo. You wish. I wish you were a homo? ’fraid not. Just a sample of the scintillating dialogue from Skate Trip 2007. More of the same plus reviews of the Skateparks of Washington, this week on… Conahan and Kilwag: At the Skateparks.

The skatepark design debate has ended!

The great debate can finally be laid to rest. Are you sick of hearing “Too many old dudes making the decisions.” or “Too many bowls.” or “Not enough vert!” or “Stop being a spoiled baby and skate what you have!” ? (How do you punctuate that sentence anyway?) Well then, your prayers have been answered. […]

I went to Sleestock 07 and all I took was 4 crummy pictures

I went to Sleestock 2007 and I only took four pictures. Two of them are butt shots, and one is of a local that who was definitely not into having his park invaded by the likes of the Stak, or probably anyone else for that matter. I took five pictures actually, but one was a […]

Holly Farm and Tigard Progress – July 10

Dreamland has concrete down at Holly Farm, number 3 of 19 Portland skateparks and what I thought was the first example of the neighborhood skatespots. Although, by the definition on the Portland Parks and Recreation website, Gabriel Park also falls within this category. Skate spots include projects under 10,000 square feet. Holly Farm is 2000 […]

Vancouver Washington area skaters should turn up for this meeting. Multiple sources report that the other meetings were 90% BMXers, which is great […]

Port Orford 4th of July Session

Matt Kline told us about the 4th of July party session at the Port Orford, Oregon skatepark. We couldn’t make it, but Mrs Shoey (Lori) sent us these pictures taken by Kevin Sorres and Josh T. Then I promptly slapped overbearing watermarks all over them. Now that I’m uploading them I’m thinking it’s a bit […]

San Jose in progress

Here are some more construction pictures from the San Jose skatepark that is in progress, courtesy of Zach Wormhoudt, which allows Larry more time for his family. So far, this is hands down the most interesting skatepark construction site I’ve seen. There are more after the jump.
