Skateboarding and more ….
This week’s Monday Cover skater, Ben Johnson, kills it with style. Holding it down for Embassy Skateboards, Ben slides a lien tail across the lip at Pier Park during this year’s Oregon “Trifecta”. Texas in the house, Todd Prince t-shirt and cuffed jeans are a go. Stoked!
Congratulations Ben!
Sometimes the big blue skies of Montana are thick with ash during the fire season. That didn’t stop this week’s Monday Cover skater, Wombat, from floating this stylish stalefish over the jersey barrier at St. Ignatius. It’s great to see kids taking full advantage of their local skatepark. Stoked! Check out more pics of Wombat shredding St. Ignatius after the turn.
Congratulations Wombat!
As the Sun sets in the western Montana sky, this week’s Monday Cover skater, Lance Mountain, finds a smooth line off the hip at the Treasure bowl. Lance tore it up all day during the 10 year anniversary of the bowl. The proof is in the pics, check ’em out after the turn.
Congratulations Lance!
Who’s the teacher with the most gnar? Without a doubt, it’s this week’s Monday Cover skater, Kim Petersen. Mild manner teacher by day and coping crushing skater by …, well, all the time. Also, this image along with over 60 others are available for purchase at Extracto Coffee House as part of a benefit for Fernhill skatepark. Be sure to check it out. See more pics of KP showing the Treasure bowl some love after the turn.
Congratulations Kim!
Holy glucosamine chondroitin, talk about your tuck knee air. This week’s Monday Cover skater, Shawn Reinert, goes beyond tuck knee at the recently finished Colorado Springs ramp. Check out a few more pics of Shawn tearing up his state-of-origin terrain after the turn.
Congratulations Shawn!
Style matters and this week’s Monday Cover skater, Doug “Pineapple” Saladino, is a true zen master. Powerful and smooth on the coping, Doug grinds one out at the now 10 years young Treasure Bowl. It’s an honor and pleasure to skate with and photograph a legend of skateboarding. Check out a few more pics of Pineapple taking no prisoners after the turn.
Congratulations Doug!
Not far from where the beer flows like wine, this week’s Monday Cover skater, Mark Conahan, finds himself comfortably tucked in a cradle. Where is this magical land? Colorado, of course; Fairyplay to be exact. There’s a great skate vibe in this little mountain town and it’s a required stop on any Colorado skate junket. Check out more pics of Mark giving Colorado his Andrecht stamp of approval after the turn.
Congratulations Mark!
That’s one styling air in the corner courtesy of this week’s Monday Cover skater, Kaden Campbell.

Check out more pics of Kaden getting his sizzle on after the turn.
Congratulations Kaden!
A natural monolith makes for a poetic skate moment as this week’s Monday Cover skater, Keith Cote, rock-n-rolls a rock. Oh, and that rock, it’s in the Rocky Mountain state; Lafayette, Colorado to be exact. Team Pain has been busy in Colorado and K.C. did his best to shred it all. Check out a bonus cover and more pics of K.C. tapping into his Sadland roots after the turn.
Congratulations K.C.!
