Pro First: Benji Galloway Second: Tim Johnson Third: Kevin Kowalski Fourth: Brice Niebuhr Fifth: Bruno Passos Sixth: Rion Linderman Seventh: Sky Siljeg Sky Siljeg is going to be (more of) a force to deal with. He was killing it and he’s something like 12 or 13 years old. Oregon skrote Rion Linderman pulled a proper McTwist in the final jam. There was another rain out (temporary) and another bad collision on the heals of yesterday’s in which Chad Shetler left blood from a head injury on the concrete. This time was pretty scary. Taylor Bingaman got knocked unconscious and started bleeding fast from his head. The good news is both guys are relatively OK.

This shot didn’t turn out as good as I had hoped, but this guy’s (Edwin, or Evan?) mouth is bleeding because he lost a tooth in a hard slam about five minutes earlier. There was another bad collision between Rex the Albany/Red Cement ripper and another guy named Chet (?) Chad Shetler. He left a pool of blood from his head on the flat, but got up and walked away. As far as I know he didn’t lose consciousness. Dave Duncan has replaced “this kid is no joke!” with “Blood is the new black.” Full size shot of toothless after the jump.

Pro First: Daniel Cardone Second: Tim Johnson Third: Kevin Kowalski Fourth: Steve Reeves Fifth: Benji Galloway I think Tyler Martin got ripped off at 6th place, but I’m not sure who I would swap out.

I couldn’t get the camera turned on in time to get the women’s results. Anyone?

Going off right now right here You’ll have to register but it doesn’t take long. I couldn’t get the low bandwidth version to go but the bigger one worked. Thanks to Troy Sliter for the heads up.

Hey everyone the circus is back in town, AKA Tri-fecta. Boy, am I excited. It is always fun to have a bunch of talent show up. Here is a little footage from Pier Park Tri 07. Notice gold mental winner Glifberg edger over the hole, a GVK exclusive shot you wont see that on Fuel TV, E.X.P.N. or anywhere else. Skate off Grover.

Danimal picked up the latest Transworld skateboarding and and saw MC’s book in print. First question is, what is Danimal doing reading Transworld Skateboarding? Dude, you’ve just been outed.

The Fuel TV web site has this thing called the Five Spot where they put together five pictures or five web sites that are related. I think that’s the gist of it. They asked for a Oregon Trifecta recap from last year, and I obliged. It’s for the good of this web site skateboarding in Oregon, you know? Check it out.

Gee, I hope they get it finished in time. Continuing yesterday’s aerial photo obsession, here’s a shot of tomorrow’s Oregon Trifecta stop, the Tigard skatepark, under construction as seen by Google Maps. When this was taken, Gabriel Park was just a dot on the horizon. The satellite flybys must be scheduled more frequently over big cities, because Lincoln City is still at phase one.

The Oregon Trifecta begins tomorrow in Lincoln City. I don’t know why they bailed on Pier Park, I though it was very well received last year. Oh well. This year it’s Tigard instead. For the love of Hosoi, couldn’t we get another Oregon skatepark in the Oregon Trifecta this year? While some are boycotting, our coverage begins tomorrow. Until then, check out last year’s coverage of Lincoln City, Pier Park, Battle Ground, and the Battle Ground rain out at Tobin’s Bowl.
