Skateboarding and more ….
Who’s got a big bowl? Well, this week’s Monday Cover skater, Bucky Lasek, has a big bowl and it shows. That’s one massive lien air. Bucky and crew took some time off from the Dew Tour to skate with the locals at Pier Park this week. Check out a few more pics of Bucky doing what Bucky does after the turn.
Congratulations Bucky!
Folks stared in amazement at what appeared to be a UFO over Pier Park skate park. You could hear people shouting “no way” and “wooha” as the object passed over head. Fortunately, we were there with camera in tow and snapped a few pics. After hours in the lab and searching frame-by-frame through the images, we were able to solve the mystery. Check it out after the turn. EPM “space oddity” Out!
It’s time once again for Randy Katen’s Generation X live on KBGA FM Missoula. This week’s guest is D.O.A. front man and guitarist, Joey Shithead. Be sure to click on the link below when the time is right. EPM “World War 3” Out!

If you’ve been delaying that trip to the Department of Skateboarding for a session, you might want to consider hitting it up either today, Saturday, or tomorrow, Sunday. Why? Well, the doors will be closed for good on Monday August 16th and the last day to skate will be Sunday August 15th. So what are you waiting for? It’s free and you can say you shredded a bit of Portland skate history. Check out more details about the park closure after the turn. EPM “thanks to all the good folks at the Dept.” Out!
Why? Well, the popcorn is free and food vendors will be on location as well. What? Really? Yep, no kidding, Portland Parks and Recreation has just the thing for the skateboard loving, movie going folks, a screening of Deathbowl to Downtown at the Glenhaven Skate Park this Friday, August 13th. Be sure to get there early for a pre-movie shred along with some entertainment provided by the (PETA approved) Cat Jugglers. Check out all the details on the flier after the turn. Oh, and be sure to look for multiple misspellings of Randy Gawlik’s name in the credits. EPM “Randie Glawik” Out!
It’s time again for another installment of Generation X – The Interviews, here on Earth Patrol. Randy caught up with T.S.O.L. front man, Jack Grisham. Get the low down on the origins of T.S.O.L.’s name, car bombs and punk jail bonding after the turn. EPM “code blue” Out
Unlike the television character with the same name, this week’s Monday Cover skater, Jackie Burkhart, is deep. A bit over 11.5 feet deep to be exact while catching some air. Check out more pics of Jackie’s assault on the big wall at Pier Park after the turn.
Congratulations Jackie!
Come on out and support Portland’s newest favorite skate spot near a railroad track. It’s the Brooklyn Street Skate Spot Project and you are invited to come on out today and support the cause.

Like the title says, we have some Fresno pool skating for you as well as some shredding at skate parks up the I-5 corridor, final destination Pier Park. KC and Lage were kind enough to share their videos over on the Earth Patrol Network of their backyard adventures and skate park exploits. Check out all the pool cancer, bloody and bruised skating after the turn. EPM “keep the coping dry, we don’t use that spray” Out!
