Who puts a T-Rex in a skate park? Dreamland, of course. Who lofts a backside air over that T-Rex? Well, this week’s Monday Cover skater, Shawn Reinert, did it a few times during the opening celebration at Tigard.

Congratulations Shawn and we were wondering if you might consider wearing a Chaka suit next time?
