Donavan at Newberg

What Do You Call This?

This is 2004 picture of everyone’s favorite ex-Donald local turned neo-Rastafarian, Donavan. Looks like he’s doing some sort of layback rock and roll, but then again I can’t remember what tricks are called these days, or other days for that matter. He’s at Newberg Ore on top of a good 10 feet or so of […]

Artist's Rendition

Artist’s Rendition

Since it’s not actually finished or open yet, you’ll have to make do with this artist’s rendition of as sight that I’m sure Pier Park locals will get sick of seeing after a few months. Can you tell that I am getting antsy waiting for Pier Park? I mean there’s got to be better things […]

I See the Future

This is what it will look like. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Skater Fake Vomits. Business Owners freak

Fake-Vomiting Skaters Intolerable, Businesses to Engage in Sissy-Fight

Council meeting begins, ends with skateboard issues seems innocuous right? Well, some business owners in Bradford County Florida are butting heads with local skateboarders, with one incident culminating in a fake barfing display. Ahh… what a gold mine. First off, there is the obvious comedy value in fake vomit, reminiscent of the scene in Repo […]

Mike Poor in Champaign Skate Park

Boring Sequence

But it’s not his fault. I’ve always wanted to do one of those sequence in one frame shots that mimic strobe photography at night. So here it is. It’s not Mike Poor’s fault that this isn’t much to look at. It’s one heck of a long railslide though. I had to shoot it several times […]

Pier Park Opening

Tony Hawk Not Appearing at Pier Park Opening!

And Generalísimo Francisco Franco is still dead. Hold on. I just had a terrible thought. The Tony Hawk Foundation did actually donate $1000 to Skaters For Public Skateparks in Portland. If that’s a typo, and the money actually went to the original acronym owners Skaters For Portland Skateparks, then we are in trouble. In any […]

Tony Hawk In Missoula Montana Skate Park

Tony! Toni! Toné! in Missoula

Rounding out three gratuitous Tony Hawk posts in a row is this chronologically challenged bit on his appearance at the grand opening of the Missoula Montana skate park. Now that we’ve got an insider or two (Photo Credits: Top left – Bryan Southard Bottom – Chris Swan AKA Bone Man), I don’t have to poach […]

Tony Hawk visits Polson Montana Skatepark

God of Skateboarding Smites Montana

Did I say smite? I meant smiles on Montana. Man, when Tony comes to your town, better stop the presses and shoot that frontside grind. Especially if you have a Darth Vader helmet at your local park. What a great name for a newspaper – The Leader & The Advertiser. Also, please applaud the fake […]
