Second Annual Donald Pool Contest
So another year has gone by and it’s time to commemerate the construction of the kick ass pool/park built by Dreamland and placed in a rural town with a population of about 750 people. Perpatrated by Sam at SkateOregon.com, this years’s contest had what has got to be one of the most progressive judging styles, if you can call it judging at all. It’s actually more of an appreciation. Those Sacajewea dollar coins were handed out in threes to attendees and it was up to the individual to decide who deserved them. You didn’t necessarily have to be the best skater or pull the gnarliest tricks, you just had to convince one person that you were skating at the top or just over the top of your level, or maybe slam hard, or whatever. It wasn’t about a contest, it was all about the skating. The main assualt lasted several hours, but could have gone on longer. Perhaps the beer flowing had something to do with that, perhaps not, but fun was had by all. Enjoy these bad scans of bad photos and get back to me if you can help out with a caption or two.

Shoes? Who needs them? Not Jason.
