Located slightly north of the 45th parallel in the Northern Hemisphere, Newberg Skatepark is a canvas for the long shadows of Winter. Ashley, MC and Grover painted a few during yesterday’s session. Check them out after the turn.

We took advantage of the good weather and headed out to Newberg for a mid-winter day session. Kathleen and Jack, progeny of MC and Grover, respectively, joined us on our adventure. In addition to getting their skate on, Kathleen took best helmet honors while Jack ran away with the Star Wars t-shirt division. Check out larger versions of the pics after turn.
Juice Magazine is celebrating their 15th year of dedication to skating in the latest issue. We can’t think of a better skater than Mark Scott to put on the cover when it comes to dedication. Killing it on the camera end of things is none other than local skater/photographer Dave Hupp.
Also of note is an interview with the mastermind behind Antigravity Press, Mr. Mark Conahan. Head on over to Juice and check it out. Better yet, hop on your deck, skate down to your local Juice distributor and pickup a copy. See the complete cover after the turn.
Team EXIT Real World will be premiering their latest video as well as skating this Saturday at Windells. Head on up and check it out. Word is there’s a lavish prize give-away and you get to skate to boot. All the details on the flier after the turn.
Chalk one up for bands that use a sentence for a name. Does it offend you, yeah? No, that’s not a question, that’s their name. Maybe they are Douglas Hoffstadter fans or maybe they are just too clever for their own good. Is that Bam on guitar and vocals? With that said, there’s some video after the turn, yeah.
It’s hard to believe that this is the first Monday Cover for this week’s featured skater, Troy Sliter. Our bad. If the name sounds familiar, chances are you might have seen Troy pulling his best Per Welinder impersonation in the ever popular Santa Cruz video, Wheels of Fire. It turns out, Troy is just as comfortable in the big stuff (see 50-50 in the deep above.) Check out some more shots of Troy killing it back in the day after the turn.
Congratulations Troy!
Stuck in a rut? Try something new and step outside your cocoon of tricks. Check out a few shots of Grover exploring outside his comfort zone during a recent session at Windells. All the gore after the turn.
So how does the “little guy” get a leg up in the big world of skateboard advertising? Why, through guerrilla marketing techniques, of course. We captured the G in GVK doing some stealth sticker work during this year’s Trifecta. Get all the pro tips after the turn.
Who heads to Utah for a skate session in the dead of winter? That someone would be Mr. Dan Hughes and his magic snow repelling skateboard. Head over to Northwest Skater and check out some pics of Dan skating in less than optimal conditions at the Clearfield Skatepark. EPM chilling out!

Hmmm, wonder who this could be? Hint: He’s no stranger to snowy terrain. All is revealed after the turn.
