Indoor Portland

Rumor has it that Rip City Skate’s indoor facility will be opening as soon as this weekend. MC saw some progress being made. Built in accordance with legendary Portland miniramp zoning ordinances, this picture doesn’t quite let you know how tight this spot is. It’s going to be challenging, but fun. I still haven’t made […]

Goat Ramp from Tim Kulas

We’ve featured the ramp handywork of Tim Kulas here a few times. His latest ongoing project is something called the Goat Ramp. It’s a sectional miniramp made from vacuum-formed laminates… I think. The sections are sturdy, but hollow and comparatively lightweight, so it can be transported and set up at a place like this beach. […]

Burnside rally race

I think I was working on Grover’s miniramp when someone in the crew go the call that there was an upside down car in Burnside. I briefly contemplated going down to check it out, but even with supposed firsthand knowledge, it still seemed highly unlikely. Well, someone on the the Jalopnik blog checked it out. […]

Brazillian DIY

This is a sort of similar setup to Jocelyn’s concrete driveway miniramp, only this DIY project can be found somewhere in Brazil. – Thanks to Luciano for the tip.

Vintage Gonz with a 12 foot ollie

This is contest video from one of the the last hurrahs of the N.S.A., the organization that would eventually end up as World Cup Skateboarding, believe it or not. Mark made this ollie gap twice, once in practice and once in the contest. It’s the branch of the y-shaped miniramp that Team Pain built for […]

Reader Ramps: Driveway = fun

Not exactly reader DIY, but still in the same spirit. I’ve got nothing against plywood, but these days it seems like more and more people are opting for concrete. I mean, it seems that way to me, but maybe that’s because I live in Portland. Ok, not fair, it’s definitely part of a larger trend. […]

Meat Show Baconfest

Still no clue what the Meatshow is, but some of the Bacon Skateboards team will be shredding this crappy miniramp at the event, which appears to be all about meat and beer. Bacon Skateboards attendees of 2009 Portland Baconfest will include, Johnny Turgesen, Kevin Kowalski, Benji Galloway, Mason Huggins, Cody Lockwood, Mike Barnes, Oudalay Philavanh, […]

New skate park for Steamboat Springs

Team Pain recently broke ground on a new concrete skatepark in Steamboat Springs. They are moving fast, and they have to because they could see snow in October, even at lower elevations. I lived in Steamboat for a couple years in early 90’s. One of my fondest memories was arriving there on Halloween, just in […]

Sponsor Luv: Japanese Bacon

This here is Bacon Skateboards rider Eisei Sugimoto from his recent visit from Japan. Enlarge-o-Rama. Oh yeah, there’s some sort of weird thing called the Portland Baconfest on October 3rd. It has to do with a radio show or something called the Meat Show. In any case, there will be some sort of crappy miniramp […]
