Here’s a couple extra shots of 12 year old Bend ripper Jake Selover. Enjoy.

I drive by a lot with some shiny new side dump trucks on a fairly regular basis. I’ve always thought they would make a good photo op for some tight mini ramp-style action, in fact I was just telling that to MC a few days ago on the way back from buying some concrete for his decks. Iw as checking out the Dakine Tiki Tour video, and low and behold, there’s Brent Atchley riding one of those trucks. Check out the Dakine Tiki Tour video in it’s glorious postage stamp size. Seriously, what is this, 1998? I’ve seen watches with bigger displays. Give us some more pixels Dakine!

The SLAG girls will be jamming at the Glenhaven Maiden on Saturday. That’s the Glenhaven skatepark in Portland, Or. Catch the flier and a few shots from the Slag stop in Hood River (Thanks to Carl Warren) after the jump.

Jim Gray skated the Converse Costal Carnage ramp set up. As he says, barge now ask later. Jim’s friend Eric Lee snapped the pics of Jim skating, with Jim’s camera, so credit where credit is due means… I don’t know. I’ve got two bonus shots from the Baade, he says the ramp is the Red Bull miniramp with a an added bowl. It’s all modular and moveable. Hmmm… Interesting. Maybe some folks at the X Games should take note. Modular and reusable is better than temporary and partially recyclable. Either way, looks fun!

Ryan Hass sent in a couple pics of the Hütteldorf skatepark, mostly just to point out the seven stair set that the designers thoughtfully left in the bowl should you decide to slam. There’s also an eight feet deep channel on the opposite end. Where do these things come from? I mean, besides Germany Austria, sorry….

If you don’t want to brave the crowds for the Saturday stop of the Trifecta, you can brave the likely much smaller crowds to be found at the Lake Oswego 2009 Youth Skate Competiton, to be held at the Lake Oswego, Oregon Skatepark… …errrr? What? There’s a skatepark in Lake Oswego? There’s a ton of money in that town, so you know it’s got to be great one, right? I guess not.. Who knew? Catch the flier after the jump. – Thanks to Dave Arpin for the tip.

Or the same one, I can’t speak Japanese. Actually, probably a different one than MVP’s Louie. He doesn’t use the cheater binding made out of a shoe. – Thanks to Stephanie Murdock for the tip.

A note made from a piece of the old Animal Chin ramp that sits in the Team Pain office. Click to enlarge.

Matt Mahoney hooked us up with some pictures of a relic he owns, possibly the ultimate achievement in wackyboards. It’s either the Nash Jamm Sound Board or the Radio Active, depending on whether you believe the top or the bottom of the deck. In Matt’s own words “It’s perfect for listening to static while skating around town…” I remember seeing adds for this thing before, I can’t imagine they made more than one model. It’s too bad the Nash factory burned down, I’ll bet there was some cool stuff in storage.

Come join a bunch of women skaters as they invade your local spot. S.L.A.G. is an advocacy group organizing skate camps and skate activities for females and they are rolling through an eleven stop road tour through the west. Various women pros will join up along the way. They’ll be in Hood River and at D.O.S. tomorrow.
