Late snap of the week

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.

Headless

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 […]

Mumble, mumble.

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.

Well, you know.

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!

Gumpfecta 2009

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.

Roll-in Challenge 2009

I was stoked on seeing last year’s roll in challenge, so I expected an invite if it ever happened again. Geez, what’s a fellow gotta do to be popular on the Skateboard Interwebs around here? I’ve even got a spot lined up. PDX Downhill has the photos and a rather long-ish video from this year’s […]

MC's bowl pour photos

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. […]
