About halfway between Carbondale and Aspen lies the town of Snowmass, Colorado. Why do you care? Well, Snowmass is the location of a new Dreamland creation. Skater, sometimes fisherman, Shawn Reinert was kind enough to bring us back some pictures of the newly finished park and it looks great. Highway 82 is quickly becoming skatepark alley with parks in Carbondale (Grindline), Aspen (Team Pain) and now Snowmass (Dreamland). Check out some pictures of the park in the gallery.

Get your electro-lounger out and chill with some tunes from Stereolab. It’s something a little more cerebral and perfect for hanging out with your houndstooth and tweed loving friends. Their latest release, Chemical Chords, is a good listen and this post was created entirely while under its sonic influence. And, since it’s YouTube Tuesday, there are Stereolab videos after the turn. EPM chilling out.
Out of a universe full of entropy comes this week’s Monday Cover, Tyler Martin, a true natural. Tyler has been ripping it up lately and folks are starting to take notice. Yet another Southern Oregon prodigy rising in the ranks. Check out this styling lien at Glenhaven. Sick. See the full frame version after the turn.
Congratulations Tyler!
The Northwest crew took GvR by storm; just take a look at the names in the Pro Bowl results. Congratulations to Kevin and the rest of the Northwest posse. It’s good to see folks having fun skating and getting a little recognition as well. Check out some of Kevin’s coverage on Earth Patrol.
Update: Video of Master’s at 2008 GvR. Thanks for the tip JF.
