Skateboarding and more ….
So your friends want to take in the sites of Seattle at the Space Needle, what’s a skater to do. Why skate, of course. The Seattle Center Skatepark is only a few kicks away from the Space Needle and it’s free. While your pals are laying down their hard earned cash for an elevator ride, you can be escalating down a ledge por gratis. Check out a few pics of the skaters taking advantage of the Seattle Center terrain after the turn.
What is it? Well, it’s one of many new band names that can be derived from the names of this week’s YouTube Tuesday featured artists that include: Squirrel Bait, Scratch Acid and Big Black. If you haven’t heard these bands, do yourself a huge favor and have a listen after the turn. EPM “kerosene around, nothing to do” Out!
What a difference a year makes. Case in point, this week’s Monday Cover skater, Jack Grover and his mad hip skills. At about this time last year, this little man was learning to drop-in. Now, it’s all about the hips and flowing around the terrain. Check out more pics of Jack’s hip attack after the turn.
Congratulations Jack!
Oh, the irony. Now up for your review, a new Generation X interview featuring Generation X guitarist Bob “Derwood” Andrews. It’s a great interview that includes Bob’s three main reasons for leaving the band. Don’t forget, Mr. Katen is back live Sunday, July 4th for another episode of Generation X on KBGA FM. Check out this week’s interview after the turn. EPM “Ready Steady Go” Out!
A few weeks back, soon-to-be-dad Chip Treadwell, hosted a mini shred for his soon-to-arrive mini shredder. Check out Ahmon, Fro and Chip having a day of it after the turn.

While you wait for the big moment, check out interviews with Daniel Evans and Johnny Turgesen after the turn. EPM “going mobile” Out!

Well, the time machine is out of the shop and Yuri is ready to take you back to 1986 and the Del Mar Pro Qualifiers on this week’s Yuri’s 80’s Re-Vert Fantasy Skate. Unfortunately, Yuri didn’t stay long enough in 1986 to get the results, so it’s up to you to pick the winners. Check out all the 80’s vert shirts about the bowl after the turn.
So your digging through the closet and find your collection of early 70’s vinyl. So what bands do you find in the mix? Well, if it were my collection, the bands on this week’s YouTube Tuesday are in the stack. Check out all the stringy straight hair rock-n-roll after the turn.
Forget about taking either the red or blue pill, this week’s Monday Cover skater, Shane Bell, shows Mr. Smith who is the boss. That is one styling smith grind at Pier Park. Check out more pics of Shane shredding the “skate matrix” that is Pier Park after the turn.
Congratulations Shane!
