Oregon – Page 26 – Skate and Annoy

If you are skateboarding, you are trespassing

I saw this little gem behind the outlet malls in Lincoln City, Oregon this weekend. Now I’m only disappointed in myself that I didn’t investigate how easy it would have been to add this to the permanent Kilwag collection. But then again, not the sort of thing you’d want to do with a sleeping toddler […]

Shot of the Week 6-22-09: Downhill bomb

This week’s Shot of the Week is Casey Morrow bombing a hill in the Dalles, Oregon, on something called the Skyline. Holy cow, it’s a guy on an extended wheelbase skateboard doing downhill on Skate and Annoy. Guess what haters, it’s all SKATEBOARDING! This is a cropped version of Carl Warren’s original photo. Check out […]

On a budget

You don’t need a stinking $1200 video camera. GVK, you should be ashamed of yourself. What can you do with a $40 camera from a pawn shop and a $30 fisheye adapter? Tyler Martin will show you, after the jump. The video has street skating, skateparks, private bowls, golfing, the Clash and car tow-ins. What […]

SOTW 6-15-09: Kowalski first over the face in Coos Bay

Kevin Kowalski made it over the face wall of the brand new Coos Bay skatepark last Saturday. It was his first time at the park, and this was his second attempt. His new, more aerodynamic haircut must have helped get the extra speed, because he was “booking” as they say, or at least used to […]

MC’s Bowl Pour Extravaganza

I’ve been over there a couple times since the day of the pour, and I’m still in awe. So here’s way too many pictures of the bowl pour in Portland, Oregon. Believe me, I had to restrain myself from putting up more, but this is something most skatepark riders don’t get a chance to witness. […]

Saturday Night Benefits

Two benefits at opposite ends of the country this Saturday. In Portland there is a benefit bowl contest fro Taylor Appelo who was one of the two (Hey Clay!) skaters in PDX who were jumped by four jocks at a MAX station in Portland. Taylor’s got a broken jaw, missing teeth and a mountain of […]

Hood River: Sleestock and more this weekend

Sleestock 2009 is this weekend, June 6th and 7th in Hood River. I had planned to attend but the concrete doesn’t wait for anyone. I might be able to make it out for a bit on Sunday. If you get into town early on Friday June 5th, Wally Inouye’s IPS skate shop will have three […]

GVK on Coos Bay

The review of Mingus Park, also known as Coos Bay, is deep and smooth with fast coping. The street area has yet to be developed. When you pull up, it looks like a 1950’s flying saucer. The pool is deep and fast. The shallow end is a hero’s drop in. The deep end is fun […]
