SOTW 8-03-09: The Greek – Truck’s eye view.

This week’s Shot of the Week is from Brian Baade, He mounted a camera the Greek’s board during a practice run for the X-Games skatepark event.

Hand stacked, for your pleasure.

The EPM Network has some pics of Tristen Reasor’s cool DIY bowl project in Oregon that is being hand stacked over several different pouring days, I imagine as fast as the funding allows. I’d love to have a spine in my back yard, how about you?

X Games superpark course, concrete on wood construction

Concrete on wood… finished

Just got this image of the completed X Games superpark course made from concrete poured over a wood frame from an anonymous source. Thanks! Down the road there is another media event called the Converse Costal Carnage. Looks like they’ve got another crazy temporary bowl setup.

Now that MC’s bowl is in the finishing stretch, here’s something else to follow. Josef Heffner has demoed his DIY backyard bowl complex and in favor of a new expanded layout. Nearby, Danimal is working on building his own board press, to be constructed with veneer he plans to buy here. If you’ve got something […]

MC’s bowl pour time lapse

This is a still from a time lapse video of a pour at MC’s backyard bowl on 6-6-09. The crew consisted of Deamland regulars and about 20 onlookers. Even at two frames a minute, I managed to catch the one time someone fell into the bowl, as seen above. I did miss the first 45 […]
