Skateboarding and more ….
All right Portland skate community, it’s time to rally. Tonight, Saturday September 18th @ 9 pm, head on over to the A&L Sports Bar at 60th and Glisan for the Power Rider Video Premier “Plug In Tune Out Vol. #1”. A mere $5.00 gets you in the door and all proceeds go to helping Mark Scott and family rebuild the barn. Check out the video trailer after the turn. See you there.

While doing some research on the old Skatercross skate park, we stumbled upon an awesome gallery of photos from skate-days-gone-by at Marina Del Rey. If you skated in the late 70’s/early 80’s, you know that Marina was one of the premier skate parks of the time and it attracted many of the heavy shredders. Over thirty-one years in the making courtesy of photographer David Scott, check out this week’s Foto-Friday in the gallery below. Also, be sure to check out larger versions of the photos featured in the banner after the turn. Can you name the skaters? EPM “now where’s my fly-away and gyros” Out!

How about it folks? Give it up for the Sorcery 118 crew and their masterful skate video creations. These dudes kill it on a daily basis and, fortunately, they capture it on tape so we can come along for the ride. We are so stoked on their creations that we placed a Sorcery 118 button in our left navigation bar. Welcome dudes! Be sure to check out a few of their recent video offerings after the turn.

Now that is dedication. Mark Conahan, the skateboarding cartoonist, just published book number eight of his Hopeless Old Men on Skateboards series, not including the two omnibuses and his kid’s book titled Hugo and that Dumb Skateboard. Dare we say this is the largest contiguous series of skateboarding comics known to humankind? We dare. Be sure to stop by Mark’s Lulu store and buy yourself and/or your friends some artful entertainment. Don’t forget to get your daily fix of Mark’s comic work over at Antigravity Press.
