Skateboarding and more ….
Day Two of the Trifecta at Pier Park was off-the-hook. Salba, Shane, Rune and Benji carved over the mousehole and Serge blasted some massive airs. Check him out, pictured above, in mid-varial surrounded by an appreciative crowd. Anyone want to take a guess how high Sergie was getting on Saturday? Click on the pic for a larger view.
What do you want to do after a long day of work? Skate, of course. Check out Danger, MC, Jack, Greg and Titan as they get their post-work skate on. Thanks to the crew at Dreamland for designing and building a great park in such a limited space. Also, major kudos to the City of Portland and the Parks crew for integrating the skatepark into the surrounding park that includes a kids playground and an amphitheater. Grab your friends and family and head over to Holly Farm for some fun and relaxation. EPM Out!
It’s time for another Monday Cover and it’s a good one. We present to you Mr. James McCoy and his rather large frontside air over love-hip to pocket at Glenhaven. James was on a mission to land this trick and land it he did. Sick, sick, sick…. See another pic after the turn.
Congratulations James and take care of that wrist.
Sometimes the artist becomes art. Case in point, skater/artist Pat Ngoho with this backside-air at Pier Park during this year’s Trifecta. Click on the picture for a larger view.
The 2007 Oregon Trifecta is set to start this Friday and the pre-fecta sessions are heating up. We were lucky enough to capture a few of the competitors getting some practice in before this weekends event. Check out some pics of Packy, Salba, Pat Ngoho, Daniel Cardone, Benji Galloway, Grover, Dave, Julie, Nolan, Morgan and Squirt after the turn. Enjoy the photos and come on out this weekend to see some amazing skating. EPM Out!
Summer is in full bloom and folks are breaking out the bandannas. This week’s Monday Cover skater, Marek Litinsky, rocks the bandanna with style while transferring lien to tail off the extension at Glenhaven. This dude kills it, no matter the terrain, and the session is always better when Marek is in the mix.
Congratulations Marek and to your wife as well on the birth of your son.
Here it is folks, a little East Coast coverage for your Foto-Friday. Yeah, we know it’s Sunday but we wanted to get the pics up for the locals in Wethersfield, Connecticut. We captured a few pictures from a memorial for a local skatepark advocate and bike rider, Alex Lubarsky, who recently passed away at the age of 20. It was a great day of skating on some Right-Coast concrete. R.I.P. Alex and keep the stoke Wethersfield. More pictures after the turn….
