A lot of folks came out to Pier Park this weekend to celebrate its second anniversary. The weather was perfect and the sessions were heated. Bacon’s Benji Galloway was sizzlin’ it up in the deep. Check out some skate contortions by Benji after the turn.
It was hot as a dragon’s breath during the Tigard stop of the 2008 Trifecta but that didn’t stop the pros from just killing it. The field was massive with over 70 skaters competing for the cash. With that many skaters zooming around on fast Dreamland ‘crete, a few mishaps are bound to happen. Aside from a few minor injuries, the contest was a huge success. Pure skateboarding mayhem went down along with some tunes and a few fireworks. Check out over 100 photos from the Pro ranks in the gallery.

The gents over at Bacon Skateboards donated 30 complete decks to Windells for this year’s batch of skate campers. Campers will have free access to these boards during their stay at the camp. How cool is that?
Each board was lovingly assembled by the folks at Bacon including some sweet grip tape work by Tim Eberly. Here’s the list of sponsors and their contributions:
- Decks – Bacon Skateboards ( Benji Galloway, Font, Series “N”)
- Trucks – Krux (NHS)
- Wheels – Type-S and Bones
- Griptape – Jessup
- Hardware – Bacon Bits
Check out a small photo essay of board delivery day after the turn.
So who is Black Francis? Well, replace Francis with Frank, switch the order of the words and think The Pixies. If you still don’t know, that’s O.K. just think of this as an educational experience. Black Francis played the Doug Fir Lounge on Monday and Tuesday of this past week. If you have been to the Doug Fir, you know how good of place it is to see a band; keep it like a secret. All we can say is the show was great and it made us want to buy the new album titled Bluefinger. Check out some pics of the show after the turn….

Stand up grinds with style for miles, this week’s Monday Cover skater, Matt Kline, has ’em on lock. A more humble man you will not find and his high-speed, take no prisoners assault on the coping is pure poetry. Check out a few more pics of Matt and friends shredding his bowl after the turn.
