Skateboarding and more ….
This week on Yuri’s 80’s Re-Vert Fantasy Skate, we head North of the border to Vancouver B.C. circa 1985 for the NSA Border Wars. So feather your hair back, put on your 80’s shades and get ready for some shredding from the land of Skull Skates. Check out all the action after the turn.
Spring is just around the corner and just like the flowers popping up all about the Northwest, we’re “popping up” this week’s YouTube Tuesday as well. Check out the Rezillos, the Revillos, the Soviettes, and the Priscillas after the turn. EPM “pogo-ing into Spring” Out!
Style matters and this week’s Monday Cover skater, Keith Cote, shows us his with this frontside snap-back off the lip at Pier Park. From the Sadlands to Portland, K.C. kills it. Check out a few more pics of K.C. about the lip after the turn.
Congratulations K.C.!
Spring-like weather was in full force last Sunday and skaters flocked to Pier Park to enjoy the balmy conditions. Check out a few shots of folks soaking up the sunshine in this week’s Foto-Friday gallery. EPM “hoping for a repeat this weekend” Out!

It’s compact, wearable and in high-definition, no less. What is it? It’s the GoPro HD Helmet HERO video camera and both, BK and KC are giving it a thumbs up. Check out BK’s afternoon at MC’s along with KC’s Pier Park adventure after the turn. EPM “rainy day diversions” Out!
This week’s Yuri’s 80’s Re-Vert Fantasy Skate stop takes us to Seattle, Washington and the NSI Gotcha Grind circa 1989. Even though massive spinning air tricks ruled the day, precision lip moves a la Groholski and Schroeder started to make their way into the skating main stream. Check out all the skating along with the Super Slo-Mo cam, and some good tunes after the turn.
The good news. Sparklehorse makes some great music and are the featured artist on this week’s YouTube Tuesday. The bad news. Well, it seems frontman, Mark Linkous, has taken his life and with it all that great creative energy. RIP Mark and thanks for sharing your music. Check out all that is Sparklehorse after the turn.
Uhhh? Yeah, he made it. This week’s Monday Cover skater, Thomas Carter, makes this toe touch ollie over the door at Pier Park. Check out some more pics of Thomas shredding up the pipe’s inner sanctum after the turn.
Congratulations Thomas!
All you beat master rhyme folks check it out. Last week it was the Terror in Tahoe and this week, we heat things up with the Duel at Diablo, uhhh, uhhh, uhhhh. Yuri is down with the younger generation, now get down with the old vert dogs as they shred it up circa 1986. Check out all action after the turn on Yuri’s 80’s Re-Vert Fantasy Skate.
Well, this week’s YouTube Tuesday picks are about as far from warm and fuzzy as you can get. The place: United Kingdom, the time: early 1980’s and the bands: Anti-Nowhere League, The Exploited, Crass and GBH. Get your angst on after the turn as well as a bit of a crass education. EPM “system might have got you but it won’t get me” Out!
