Skateboarding and more ….
It seems this week’s Monday Cover skater, Tim Eberly, might hail from Krypton with moves like this one. That’s one lofty ollie over the hip at West Linn. Mild mannered minus the black frame glasses while pulling super feats of dexterity, that’s Tim. Check out a few more pics of Tim shredding about after the turn.
Congratulations Tim!
Here’s a snap from yesterday’s park slalom event at West Linn. Wally “fans out” on Tim Eberly floating over the hip. Good times. Thanks to Skate Legion, Mike Estes, Tom “Wally” Inouye, and crew for some skateboarding fun in the sun. Check out a larger image after the turn.
