In case you missed it, it’s Skreech at the Trifecta, skating a deck with the nose broken off. I’m not sure how you do that. In any case, don’t feel bad for him, he’s got his own model out on Addikt now. Enlarge-o-rama.

Jessica Starkweather at the Oregon-you-know-what, you know-know-where edition. I take this shot of her every time I see her at Pier Park, though usually the timing is better, as it’s actually a double truck frontside carve grind. Enlarge-o-rama.

This would have been a good photo, were it not for the fact the skater has no head. You go to work and you come You sit around every day You got a lotta, lotta Jackin’ down the street on my funky three Tell me why there’s people bigger than me Six foot yesterday, now I’m five foot three ‘Cause I’m headless On paper, it’s perplexing. But hearing it in context is another thing. Name the band jack wads.

Here’s a shot of Mark Partain that I took at some event that I was at. Can’t seem to remember what it was called, or when it was. All I can remember is someone saying the crowd smells like beer. Enlarge-o-rama.

This is some guy from Texas. I was watching him further down in the pipe and it looked like he had the height a few times, but he wasn’t going anywhere near the door. Then all of the sudden he went for it and surprised the hell out everyone. That’s clearance, Clarence!

Yeah, I’m pretty busy, so here’s a shot of Chris Russell nose grinding through the corner at Pier Park. I think Chris is two years old, give or take 10-12 years. Enlarge-o-rama. I think I’m so behind that this may retroactively become a Shot of the Week.

Trifecta is a horse race betting scheme where you try to choose the winners in three races. The equivalent expression for two races is exacta which sounds much better than the bastardized Bifecta which I freely admit is how I first described it. Speaking of Oregon Exacta photos, Steve Gump has a couple of galleries up from the Tigard and Pier Park contests last week.

Scott Selover sent in a bunch of pics of some young rippers from Bend, Or. One of them is is son Jake. The other is his friend Dru. Here’s two from Pier Park. These kids are 12 years old. I guess there is a vert scene in Bend. I hear rumors about a 11 foot vert ramp. Did you hear about the 19 year old who landed the 900 at Maloof? These kids have a few years to go…
