Pier Park – Skate and Annoy

Full pipe transfer

I’ve seen people joke about dropping in off the roof of Pier Parl’s full pipe, but even then not in such a potentially sketchy line. Willis Kimbel as shot by Garric Ray. Worried about what happens when he lands? Check out the full animated sequence at Thrasher.

Pier Park Polar Bears

From Elias Parise: Willis, Andy, Mark and Lorenzo getting it at Pier and Unheard, during one of the weirdest and coldest weeks of the year. 12.28.12-01.01.13 How thoughtful, a skate session on my birthday! Oh wait, I wasn’t invited. That’s OK, I would have stunk up the video. A little Unheard facility footage too. Music […]

Pier Park Pickup Saturday

Friends of Pier Park and Solv will be doing another Pier Park Pickup next Saturday from 9-12. Trash pickup around the skatepark, paint over graffiti, probably paint the bottom of the big bowl, patch the coping grout, etc. Come lend a hand.

SOTW 8-16-10: Andy Macdonald at Pier Park

Going over the mouse hole in Pier Park is pretty gnarly. Andy Macdonald made it over in his first try this year, I assume he made it over last year too. Andy took some video with a helmet cam for those of us who will likely never see the view from up there. Once you […]

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.

Volunteer opportunity

Be a good neighbor and come help out for a couple of hours at the Pier Park Pickup SOLV event tomorrow from 9am – 1 pm. We’ll be doing trash pickup and graffiti coverup at the skatepark. Breakfast treats from Tulip Pastry Shop and hot coffee from Starbucks.

Two towns. Two videos

I’m watching this first video by “Jimmy” that looks like it takes palce in Corvallis and an Harrisburg, Oregon, And I’m thinking, Damn! That’s the scene to be in. What do those guys need help with a skatepark for? Just kidding about the skatepark thing there BCSA, but your locals are tearing it up! The […]
