Check out the preview and order tickets through their website. $13.50 Adults 10.50 Kids and Seniors. Slash thought it was f***ing amazing. I wonder what those asterisks represent, funding? farting? farming?I hope it’s not presented in FEELAROUND.
Want a free pass for two for tonight at the Regal Bridgeport 18? I have a few available show is at 7, they have some rules about searches and no cell phones to prevent piracy. Send me a note if you want one. UPDATE: They’re all gone folks.
A Google alert led to this Dew Tour related piece at Oregon Live but what really interested me was seeing my pal Jack Grover as the featured future action sports hopeful. Hey, wait a minute, Grover is getting paid? I beat him at the Trifecta. I need to find a new agent.
Here’s the entire clip that is the source of the frame grab that was used as the Shot of the Week at the beginning of the month. some people grouse about using a video grab, and normally I would agree, but I really liked this shot. Apparently so did Bryce, because it ran simultaneously over at Skate Daily. Thanks again to the Baade.

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.
Skateistan has been making the rounds in the mainstream media again lately. CNN is just getting to it. Come on guys, you’re months behind schedule! BAck in the USA, there are a couple individuals actively engaged in helping out the cause. MapleXO has some autographed Corey Duffel earrings made from recycled skateboards. All proceeds from the auction benefit Skateistan, as do 100% of the proceeds from these Skateistan t-shirts. That’s proceeds folks, nut just profits. Best part is, you don’t have to pay for postage from Afghanistan!
Alright already. Here’s day one of Skate and Annoy’s Oregon Trifecat Tigard coverage. That’s right. Two days worth of photos, not because they are that great, but because (regular readers chime in here…) I can’t edit myself. That’s Steve Reeves above, he doesn’t care what Creature thinks.
Check out the Oregon Trifecta Tigard coverage.
Portland’s sports arena is now called the Dew Garden. Snorkels are an extra $5 at the door.
Unaware of what year it was, Dr. Brad and Grover wandered into the Dew Tour desperate for help. But the English language had deteriorated into a hybrid of hillbilly, valleygirl, inner-city slang and various grunts. Dr. Brad was able to understand them, but when he spoke in an ordinary voice he sounded pompous and faggy to them.

I as going through my Trifecta pictures trying to get something together when this one caught my eye. Check out how Mason Huggin’s right foot looks like it’s being severed by his board. I swear to you this is not photoshop trickery, rather the result of some weird flash effect. All I’ve done is adjusted the levels slightly, and obviously cropped and resized it. I’ve included a full size close up of the foot in question, It looks totally doctored, but it isn’t.
