This week’s Shot of the Week is from photog Sk8 D, who snapped this shot outside an extreme!™ sports function in Portland a few weeks back:

Favorite moment from the lame ass redbull thing they had a few weeks ago, this guy won hands down in my book he held that manny for almost 30 minutes.

Check out the Shot of the Week.

Here’s a couple Trifecta composite shots from Sk8 D. Lance Mountain (Enlarge-o-rama, unless you are on an iPhone..) up top, and Mason Huggins after the jump. Yes. I’m stalling.

The Wall Street Journal recently called Portland the Skateboarding Capital of the World and a lot of hoopla surrounds the 19 Skatepark System Plan. Five skateparks parks in the ground, posted skateboard route, skateboarders in City Hall, we’ve got it made right? Not so. City officials will stop taking their bows and soon will forget all about us as all the other things they have to deal with compete for their attention.

Get over to Skaters for Portland Skateparks to weigh in on how we need to continue building the system, better yet, contact Parks Commissioner Nick Fish and Portland Parks and Rec. Remember to be polite, thank them for the work they’ve done so far but remind them that they aren’t done and you still want the promised skatespot in your neighborhood.

Hey, it’s Lance Mountain and the Tigard dinosaur. That’s a combination you don’t usually see at a skateboard contest. First to post Trifecta 2009 video, as far as I know, a site called BFD.com. Check it out after the jump.

I’m not holding out, just don’t have the time to do it all up right now. Trifecta pics are coming, Insert host of excuses here:______________. Lance Leisher at Tigard.

Wuss with a gun starts some skate harassment before getting beat down by skateboarders. Chubby, no – fat kid teaches you how to ollie. Happy endings for everyone.

From Seth Levy, while on a road trip to Oklahoma. The most fun thing to do at the eastern Oklahoma welcome center on I-40. Blowing it out y’all! Enlarge-o-rama.

People who skateboard on ramps are called “vertical skaters.” People who skateboard on anything they can find are called “street skaters.” And people who ride on flat ground only are called “freestyle skaters.”

Freestyle skaters are usually the most graceful. They do handstands, jumps, spins, and twirls, often performing planned routines set to music. They are the “ice skaters” of skateboarding.

More Skateboard Action from Carl Warren. Thanks human! Enlarge-o-rama! Who is that dude?
