Early Burnside video and TV news coverage

I’d place this video at maybe 93-94? That’s my layman’s-I-wasn’t-there guess. It was posted on YouTube by Nate Sherwood, so it’s mostly footage of him as a youngster, but mid way through there is some amusing footage from a local Portland news channel. Seems to be from shortly after the city of Portland decided to […]

Gresham Oregon skatepark open

Phase One of the Gresham skatepark built by Dreamland is now open for fun, provided you play by the rules. Phases two and three are distant, and unfunded dreams so far as anyone knows. [Photo: City of Gresham] – Thanks to Bjjpd Tom for the tip

SOTW 1-11-10: Willis Kimbel at West Linn

I think it’s been over a year since I’ve been to this park. The neighbors have probably chilled out, now that there are more parks in the area to take the heat off. Willis Kimbel at West Linn. Photo by POX at Levil Uniform. I like lens flare, do you? Check out the Shot of […]

Eden from Exit

More things going on in my own back yard that I know nothing about. Portland’s Eden Powers as seen on VIMBY. Some great moves in there, plus a hard face plant on the side of a wall, not to mention a bunch of places that I don’t skate at. I need to get out more. […]

Shot of the Week: Are you taking my picture?

Hey you! Hey! Are you taking my picture? MY picture?!!! Well alright! We’re big fans of the dork session here, obviously, and so are Gabe Stoltz (as seen above) and Kevin Porterfield from Dokument Boardshop or Skatecamp… Err, what’s going on in Salem, Kevin? Whew. It’s been a while since I updated the Shot of […]

Eugene design refined

Join us at the next public design forum presentation next Wednesday, January 13t at 6:00 p.m. at the Library. […]

Schiffler Park – Beaverton open house

Beaverton, Oregon voters apparently passed a $100 millilon parks bond recently and Schiffler Park redevelopment is a project that’s coming up. There’s an open house coming up and Chad from Skaters for Public Skateparks points out that the THPRD staff seems more interested in putting in a skatespot than the public does. That can’t be […]

Ken Fillion - Pier Park - Oregon Trifecta.

Oregon Trifecta – Pier Park coverage

Someone complained that I was completely slacking on the Pier Park stop of the 2009 Oregon Trifecta. So here it is, coming down to the wire for 2009. Ken Fillion on the invert here. Hooray! So obviously, I let some four months go by before I got around to this, so everything is less than […]
