That was pleasant

I haven’t seen Mark do this before. It was pleasing to see. I’m sure it was more pleasing to be the one landing this. Enlarge-o-rama.

Eugene contest today (Saturday)

Just got this today, sorry for the late notice. Contest in Eugene, Oregon. – Thanks to Sam for the tip.

What is the Oregon Trifecta?

It’s apparently on again, although you wouldn’t know by going to the official web site, which is still stuck in pre-09 event mode. There is a flyer circulating on Facebook that say’s it slated for August, 20th-22nd, to be held in Lincoln City, West Linn and Tigard. I don’t know what a “Grass Roots Pro […]

Skirdoosh!

This video would be pretty good if only these guys had a sense of humor, some skills on a skateboard and a fake corporate sponsor of course.

Grindline made them a great 4000 square foot (?) concrete shape not dissimilar to Portland’s Gabriel Park: shallow top to hip hip […]

Matt Kline’s fundraiser bowl jam is on

It’s been raining on and off here in Portland for the past few days. You’re itching to skate right? Fuel TV’s Pool Party webcast is going to be totally clogged, so maybe you should pack up the RV and head down to Matt Kline’s in Grants Pass for the bowl jam tomorrow. Matt called and […]
